History

Chrome Entertainment released a picture of Bob Girls on May 21. All four members had bobbed hair, and the agency stated, "Usually when girls cut their long hair, it means they are going through some mental changes. Likewise, Bob Girls aims to represent a shift of womanhood of our times."[1]

Bob Girls' debut showcase was held on June 10 in Gangnam, Seoul.[2] That same day, their first album was released along with a music video for "No Way", the lead single. The album also included a second song, "Oh My Boy" (왜이래; Wae Irae, lit. "Why This Way").[3] The group made its debut on the music show M! Countdown on June 12.[4] On July 30, promotions began for "Oh My Boy" with a performance on Show Champion. The next day, Bob Girls' album was re-released as Summer Repackage, with summer remixes of both songs.[5]

In late 2014, Bob Girls participated in the first Chrome Family project, a single album titled 2014 Chrome Family – A Very Special Christmas .[6] The album was released digitally on December 3, as well as a music video for the single, "Love Christmas".[7]

On February 24, 2015, it was reported that member Jina was recently diagnosed with encephalitis and her contract with the label was terminated to undergo treatment. Chrome Entertainment also announced the disbandment of the group as the contract of all the other members were terminated as well.[8][9] On April 2, it was announced that Dahye (now known as Migyo) and Danbi will debut in a four-member girl group called Love Us.[10] On May 8, it was reported that Yujeong would re-debut in a new group in the second half of the year.[11]
