Berry Good (Hangul베리굿; RRBeri Gut) is a five-member South Korean girl group formed by Asia Bridge Entertainment in May 2014.

History

Berry Good debuted on May 21, 2014 with the music video of "Love Letter", remake of the song released by Click-B in 2000.[1][2][3] The homonymous single was released the following day,[4] when they also started promotions on M! Countdown.[5]

In January 2015, Asia Bridge Entertainment stated that Subin, Iera and Nayeon had left the group, and introduced new members Seoyul,[6][7] Daye and Sehyung.[8][9][10] Their second single album Because of You was released on February 9[11][12] and ranked 40th on the MelOn National Daily Chart.[13] They started promotions on February 10 on SBS MTV's The Show.[14]

On September 23, their third single album My First Love was released.[15] Two music videos were produced for the lead single, one which features actress Kim Bo-ra. The song, posthumous work of composer Joo Tae-young, was first performed in advance on September 20 at Hallyu Dream Concert,[16][17] and promotions started on the 22nd on SBS MTV The Show.[18]

On March 11, 2016, Berry Good launched a crowdfunding campaign to produce their first EP on Makestar. The ₩10 million goal was reached in ten days[19][20] and the campaign ultimately raised ₩16,084,438, 160,8% of its original goal. On April 20, they released the crowdfunded mini-album Very Berry, lead by title track "Angel".[21]
