Girl's Day (Hangul: 걸스데이) is a South Korean girl group under Dream Tea Entertainment. The group made its debut in 2010 and currently consists of four members: Sojin, Minah, Yura and Hyeri.

Career

2010: Debut and line-up change

Girl's Day debuted with five members (Jihae, Jisun, Jiin, Sojin, and Minah) on July 7, 2010, with their first song, "Tilt My Head" ("갸우뚱"). Their debut EP Girl's Day Party #1 was released two days after. The group followed up promotions for "Tilt My Head" with the song "How About Me" ("나어때"), for which they released a music video on July 21.

On September 12, two months after their debut, Jisun and Jiin left the group to pursue individual interests, and two new members, Yura and Hyeri, were added to the group. The new lineup's digital release Girl's Day Party #2 became available on October 29 with the lead track "Nothing Lasts Forever" ("잘해줘봐야").

2011: Everyday

On March 16, 2011, Girl's Day digitally released Girl's Day Party #3 with the single "Twinkle Twinkle" ("반짝반짝"). On May 7, the group performed in their first overseas concert, I Love You Taiwan! We are friends (사랑해(莎朗嘿) 台灣! We are friends 演唱會), at the Taipei International Convention Center. The concert was organised by the Korea Tourism Organization and also featured performances by U-KISS and Super Junior M.

On July 6, the group released a second EP titled Everyday. The title track was "Hug Me Once" ("한번만 안아줘").

In September, the group released Girls' Day Party #4 with the track "Don't Flirt" ("너, 한눈 팔지마!"). The song was written and produced by Gang Jeon-hyong and Nam Ki-san, who also produced previous singles "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Hug Me Once".

2012: Everyday 2 and Jihae's departure

Girl's Day's third EP, Everyday 2, was released on April 17, 2012.[1] It contained the song "Telepathy", which was written and produced by Sojin, in addition to the title track "Oh! My God".

On October 17, Dream Tea Entertainment revealed that Jihae had left the group for personal reasons.[2] The remaining four members returned with the song "Don't Forget Me" ("나를 잊지마요") from their fifth digital release, Girl's Day Party #5.

2013: Expectation and rise in popularity

At a fan meeting in 2013

On February 20, 2013, Girl's Day released the single "White Day", followed by their first full-length album Expectation on March 14, coinciding with White Day. The album's title track, "Expectation" ("기대해"), was a commercial success and was awarded the 'Long-Run Song of the Year' award at the third Gaon Chart K-Pop Awards.[3] This marked the start of a rise in popularity for the group. They also promoted the track "Female President" ("여자대통령"), which was named one of the "20 Best K-pop Songs of 2013" by Billboard.[4]

Following Expectation, the group released Girl's Day Party #6 with "Please Tell Me" and on October 10 the motivational song "Let's Go" ("렛츠 고"), written and composed by Sojin.

2014: Everyday 3, Everyday 4, and I Miss You

On January 3, 2014, Girl's Day released their fourth EP, Everyday 3, which was largely produced by Duble Sidekick. The music video for the title track "Something" ("썸씽") reached one million views within a day, and the song became their highest-charting single, peaking at #2 on both Billboard's Korea K-Pop Hot 100 and the Gaon Digital Chart. It also ranked first on the monthly Gaon Digital Chart, and remained in the top 10 of the Korea K-Pop Hot 100 for eight weeks. The group's live promotions for "Something" won five music show awards, and later that year, the song won the 'Best Dance Performance by a Female Group' award at the 2014 Mnet Asian Music Awards.

In July, the group released their fifth EP, Everyday 4, with the lead single "Darling". The EP was again produced by Duble Sidekick.

On October 15, the group released the smart card EP and ballad single "I Miss You" ("보고싶어").[5] On November 26, they released the compilation album Best Album in Japan.

2015–present: Love and Japanese debut

At the Phoenix Summer Festival in Ilsan in 2015

On May 12, 2015, Girl's Day released the single "Hello Bubble" in endorsement with haircare brand Mise-en-scène.[6] In June, they began filming in Okinawa, Japan for MBC reality programme One Fine Day.[7]

The group released their second full-length album Love, along with its title track "Ring My Bell", on July 6, 2015.[8] During promotions for the album, the group faced controversy over their July 7 appearance on a Korean internet-streamed programme, ChoiKoon TV. The group members were criticised by audiences for what was seen as disrespectful behaviour, and appeared on the stream the following day to offer an apology.[9][10]

On September 30, Girl's Day made their Japanese debut with the album Girl's Day 2015 Autumn Party, which contained Japanese versions of the singles "Darling", "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Ring My Bell". The group also held a showcase in Taipei on November 1, performing twelve of their songs to an audience of 2,000 fans.[11]

Ambassadorship for Plan Korea

In August 2013 Girl's Day were appointed honorary ambassadors for the Plan Korea campaign, "Because I Am a Girl".[12] That month the group visited Chiang Rai, Thailand, where they carried out volunteer work.[13]

The group returned to Thailand a year later to participate in a campaign for girls' birth registration.[14]

On February 17, 2016, the group visited Cambodia as Plan Korea ambassadors, volunteering at a school where they held art and music workshops.[15]
