The group consists of four members: JeA (제아), Miryo (미료), Narsha (나르샤) and Ga-In (가인). They debuted as a ballad/RnB vocal group in 2006 under Nega Network and have challenged themselves with different music genres.

The group has risen to popularity through a number of hit singles, beginning with 2008's L.O.V.E, but it wasn't until their 2009 breakout single, Abracadabra that their name was established in the Korean music scene. Abracadabra paved their way to debut in Japan in 2010 after releasing a repackage album with title track Sign. They took a year of solo promotions before coming back together for their next album, SIXTH SENSE—the titular track becoming a big hit in South Korea, echoing the success of Abracadabra. They followed up with Black Box in 2013, BASIC in 2015 and most recently, their cover album RE_vive. Other than promoting as a group, the members have released their solo albums, also. As of 2023, they're known as the longest-running K-pop girl group in the industry.

Yeah yeah
난 카페엔 한 시간도 길어
