— Rock U!
Mini Album Released: June 04, 2008
 
Gloria debuted in 2008 as a five member girl group with the mini album Rock U! Gloria debuted with a rather cute and playful, yet innocent image. The group scored themselves a reality show called "Morning Gloria" which chronicled how the group was adapting to their newfound celebrity status as young members of Korean society.  

The mini album itself did fairly well as they spent quite a bit of time promoting the lead single Rock U, and follow up track Honey. Honey seemed to be more popular than Gloria's original debut track and gained many fans throughout promotion.

Tracklist:
Rock U
Honey
요를레이 (Yodel)
이게뭐야? (What's This?)
Good Day 
Wait

— Diva.
Digital Single Released April 09, 2009
 
Gloria made their first comeback with the digital single Diva in 2009. The song is the first release with the new member added, making Gloria a now 6 membered girl group. Gloria's image was still quite playful with a hint of cuteness, however the group lost some of the original innocence that was behind their image.

Diva charted well but compared to the success that single Honey previously saw, Diva was considered mediocre at best.

Tracklist:

— Lies.
extended play released July 27, 272009
 
Gloria made their next comeback a few months later with their first extended play entitled Lies. The missing innocence concept from their last track Diva was utilized here as the Lies ep had a innocent and pure image during it's run, yet slightly darker from previous releases. Lies was said to focus on Gloria's vocals rather than just being cute and girly.

Prior to the release of Lies, Gloria found themselves staring in MBC's variety program known as Gloria Horror Movie Factory, or HMF.  The show revolved around the six member of Gloria undergoing various acting lessons and tests under the instruction of of comedians Kim Shinyoung, Jo HyeRyun and Yoo Seyoon. The show started out with horror settings, but soon became more lighthearted. It was said that the show was promo for the MBC horror series Soul, which the ballad version of the lead single of Lies, Lie, was later used to promote.

The lead single Lie also saw two other versions of the music video; Lie (summer version) that was filmed at a water park and showcased the members having fun, and Lie (ballad version) which featured clips from Soul. The original music video of Lie had the Gloria members coupled up with actor Yoo SeungHo.

— Absolute.
album released November 27, 2009
 
Returning to a cute and playful style, Gloria released their first album Absolute in the last quarter of 2009. Absolute would be the first time that Gloria had released dual lead singles simultaneously; charismatic Like The First Time and the trendy and upbeat Bo Peep Bo Peep. Bo Peep Bo Peep went on to be Gloria's biggest hit of the time with it's cat paw dance that became a craze in South Korea. The girls found themselves swarmed with love calls from different companies wanting Gloria to endorse their products.

However, Bo Peep Bo Peep soon had controversy surrounding a second version of the music video. Gloria's label, Fantasia Entertainment, released a second version of the mv just a few weeks after the initial release. Soon, the chorus came under discussion as the repetition of Bo Peep Bo Peep could sound a lot like it was implicating something ual. However, the popularity of the song proved to outweigh the controversy and Gloria continued promotions for Absolute into 2010.

Tracklist:
One & One
처음처럼 (Like The First Time)
Bo Peep Bo Peep

— Absolutely Breaking.
repackaged album released March 17, 2010
 
Gloria then returned to the music scene in March of 2010 with a much anticipated repackaged version of the first album entitled Absolutely Breaking, centered around a "temptation" concept. After the release of the music video for title track I Go Crazy Because of You, Gloria found themselves in an even bigger controversy surrounding the ual nature of the video with there being minor members in the group. Gloria was made to change the choreography for their lead track not only once, but twice, and was eventually banned from airing on MBC. Thus, Fantasia was forced to end promotions quickly and make a low-budget music video for I'm Really Hurt with a more girl crush concept.

Despite these setbacks, I Go Crazy Because of You peaked at number one on the Gaon Music Charts proving Gloria was still on the right track to success. Gloria also scored their own season of KBS reality show Hello Baby which premeired in April 2010.

Past member former member also rejoined the group temporary due to the fans requesting her current company to let her be included. Despite the controversy surrounding Gloria once again, Party ended up peaking at number one on the Gaon Music Charts with You Think at number three due to fan efforts.

Anniversary was used as a promotional single for their upcoming full album with promoted tracks Party and You Think. Promotions only lasted a week for each song as Gloria were getting ready for their first album as 8 members, however fans noticed the lack of preparations for the single and worried about the production of the upcoming album, especially since Nova released a mini album before Gloria's promotions were even over. Fans wanted this to be Gloria's special moment as not every group makes it to ten years together, however with even the Gloria members not putting their all into performances and their internal conflicts starting to surface, fans were left very disappointed.

Chapter 5: So, Akira (ordinarylove_) also directed me here! I’ve been itching for a second generation fic and I have the perfect goddess in mind so I think I’ll start my app soon once I read more on the details of FTZ and it’s staff. So far, I really like it and the idea that it’s centered around what I know the best. I came into Kpop literally 8 years ago so this is right up my alley!

Chapter 5: Hello! I was recommended to check out this story by ordinarylove, and it looks really cool! There aren't a lot of 2gen applyfics out there, and that's my favorite gen of kpop so it's very nice to see brownie points with t-ara, f(x), snsd, 4minute, and Miss A, etc! I'm not sure if I will have time to apply - I will definitely try but real life is keeping me very busy at the moment, but I will definitely be sticking around for the teasers/actual story! Looking forward to reading your stuff!!
