About Solibaljeon
SM Entertainment's plans about a new girl group were first announced on 23rd November 2013 at a press conference held by Kim Young Min, SM Entertainment's current CEO, personally. He stated that the new group would bring a different charm to SM's roster since the girls would be given an unusual amount of creative freedom. Three of them possess the ability to compose songs while two others are capable of choreographing.
Furthermore some of the members gained attention for their relations to other celebrities and their pre-debut experiences. Leader Seulyong was revealed to be the older half-sister of Park Chanyeol, rapper of Exo. Main Rapper Bara had modelled as a child in Japan while Lead Rapper Sori was known as an underground rapper under the name of 'Moksori'.
Despite the initial buzz at the revelation, the public response towards Solibaljeon's debut was rather poor and their title track 'What Should I do?' peaked only at 76 on the Melon charts. A lot of netizens expressed their disappointment in the live performances and viewed the song as too generic. Due to unfortunate circumstances which caused one member to get hospitalized, the group was forced to dismiss their follow-up plans and undergo a temporary hiatus. In the meantime SM Entertainment debuted another girl group called Red Velvet, which charted slightly better, peaking at 33 on Melon.
After months of preparation Solibaljeon announced their comeback in January 2015, determined to do better this time.
