DIA discography
MBK Entertainment announced in February 2015 that they are planning to debut a new girl group through a survival show. The survival program's name is T-ara's Little Sister Girl Group. A few months after, they announced that the plan was canceled and decided to select the members internally.
The first three chosen members were Yebin, Eunice, and Jenny. The company then announced a line-up of six girls, including Huihyeon, Eunjin, and Chaeyeon. After some time, Seunghee was added before the DIA debut its self-titled studio album, Do It Amazing, in September 2015.
In 2016, Eunchae, a new member, was added. Sadly, in the same year, Seunghee decided to leave the group. Shortly after Seunghee left, DIA's first mini-album, Happy Ending, was released, with its lead single On the Road. In the same year, the group released a Harry Potter-themed album titled Spell, with Mr. Potter as the lead single. The album became a commercial success at that time.
It was in 2016 also that the group's sub-units were formed. In 2017, the group launched its second and third mini albums named YOLO and Love Generation, respectively. Unfortunately, after a year, Eunjin announced her departure from the group, because of health problems.
In 2019, MBK Entertainment confirmed both DIA's comeback and the single's production being handled by Shinsadong Tiger and marked their first release as seven without Jenny due to a knee injury.
The group was able to launch amazing K-pop songs. Here are some of them:
- Somehow (왠지)
- On the Road (그 길에서)
- Can't Stop (듣고싶어)
- Woo Woo (우우)
- Will You Go Out with Me? (나랑사귈래?)
