Prior to their debut, they were promoted as B1A4's sister group. OH MY GIRL released their first mini-album ''OH MY GIRL'' on April 20, 2015.
Later in the summer of that year, WM Entertainment announced a fall comeback. Member Mimi wrote lyrics for three of the songs on the album. On October 7, OH MY GIRL released their second mini-album ''CLOSER'' with the lead single of the same name. The music video featured a fairy-tale theme, with constellation-inspired dance steps. The song was met with much critical enthusiasm; it ranked at number 14 on Billboard's "20 Best K-Pop Songs of 2015". Many critics praised the whimsical feel of the song, and described the choreography as being "different" and "innovative".
Throughout 2016, many events followed OH MY GIRL. On March 28, they released their third mini-album ''Pink Ocean''. A month later, on May 26, it was reissued as ''Windy Day'' with two additional songs. On August 1, OH MY GIRL released a special summer album featuring modern covers of famous songs. The album debuted at the top of the Gaon Album Chart for July 31 – August 6, 2016, the first of any OH MY GIRL album to do so. On August 25, member JinE was revealed to be taking a temporary break from OH MY GIRL-related activities due to symptoms of anorexia. OH MY GIRL continued their contest preparations and upcoming comeback promotions in her absence.
In 2017, OH MY GIRL continued with the absence of JinE. On April 3, they released their fourth extended play ''Coloring Book''. The music video for the album's lead single of the same name included a pink whale in JinE's honor. Later in the year WM Entertainment announced JinE's departure from the group on October 30, after prolonged discussion with her parents and medical staff, who all agreed that it was best to nullify her contract so she could focus on her health. OH MY GIRL would now reform as an seven-member group.
2018 saw new heights for the group. On January 9, 2018, OH MY GIRL released their fifth extended play ''Secret Garden'' with the lead single of the same name. The song earned OH MY GIRL their first music show win on The Show on January 23 and became their biggest hit to that date, peaking at #17 in South Korea. In the summer of said year, OH MY GIRL released a sub-unit ''OH MY GIRL Banhana'' and came back as a full group in September with ''Remember Me'', continuing the success of ''Secret Garden''.
In 2019, the group debuted in Japan with re-issues of their Korean songs in Japanese. In May, they released their first studio album ''The Fifth Season'' with the lead single of the same name. The single became their second biggest hit to date peaking at #26. In August, they re-issued the album with ''BUNGEE (Fall in Love)''.
Later it was confirmed they would compete on Mnet's survival show ''Queendom''. They placed in 2nd place and acclaimed mass popularity in Korea.
In 2020, group hit astronomical success following their appearance on ''Queendom''. In April, they released their seventh mini-abum 'Nonstop' with the lead single of the same name. The track gained great success and peaked at #2 in Korea, giving them their highest peaking song and biggest hit.
On May 9th 2022, member Jiho announced her departure from the group and the company.
