"Suzy, Miss A"
Miss A (Korean: 미쓰에이), commonly stylized as miss A, is a four member South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment through their sub-label AQ Entertainment in 2010. The group consists of members from both China and South Korea. They are Fei, Jia, Min and Suzy.
Fei and Jia are considered two of the four best recognized female celebrities of Chinese origin active in the South Korean entertainment scene, along with f(x)'s Victoria Song and fashion model Wei Sun.
Members Fei and Jia were selected in 2007 (Fei was scouted on her way to dance school, while Jia's school held auditions). Min auditioned when she was in the 6th grade, and traveled to the U.S., where she trained for 6 years, but came back in 2008 to continue activities in Korea. During her time in New York, she studied at the Repertory Company High School in Manhattan. Before their debut, members Fei and Jia appeared in 2PM's "My Color" music video. Suzy Bae was also a model for an online shopping center.
The girls began their first official promotional activities in China as a group by signing up with Samsung China and released a commercial song called "Love Again" for the Samsung Beat Festival. The song has a strong Korean team/influence behind it, as it was written by Korean composer, Super Changddai while the music video was directed by Hong Won Ki.
Min later joined the group before debuting in South Korea.
Miss A made their official debut in South Korea as a four-member group on June 30 with their single "Bad Girl Good Girl" which was taken from their debut mini-album called "Bad but Good". Their single topped various music charts and eventually earned the group their first Mutizen award on M.net M! Countdown and the following day Miss A became number #1 on KBS Music Bank. On August 1 they had their number #1 on SBS Inkigayo. The song went to #1 on M.net M! Countdown, KBS Music Bank and SBS Inkigayo for one week.
The group later on made their comeback with their first mini-album called "Step Up" on September 26. The group promoted "Breathe" as the lead single for the album and showed an "exotic and a doll-like transformation" that was completely different from their debut single's concept. They made their first comeback on M.net M! Countdown and the following day on KBS Music Bank, MBC Show! Music Core and SBS Inkigayo. The song went to #1 on M.net M! Countdown staying for one week.
Suzy starred in Dream High as the main character Go Hye Mi with 2PM's Taecyeon, 2PM's Wooyoung, IU, T-ara's Eunjung and actor Kim Soo-hyun. Miss A member, Min, was a fixed student on KBS's variety show Oh! My School, also known as 100 Out of 100. Jia appeared in M&D's music video for "Close Your Mouth" with FT Island's Hongki & B2ST's Jun Hyung which was released on June 22, 2011.
In July 2011, Miss A announced their comeback with their first full album called A Class which was released on July 18, 2011. A Class consists of a mix of previously released hits and four new tracks, including the single, "Good Bye Baby". The album has a total of 13 songs. They released their album digitally on July 18, 2011. They started promoting the title song "Good Bye Baby" on July 21, 2011 on Mnet's M! Countdown followed by KBS's Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core, and SBS's Inkigayo. On the following week of promotions they won all awards from the shows (except Music Core which doesn't include charts on the show).
On September 30, Miss A debuted in Chinese with the release of a special edition of their first full album, containing a DVD with music videos, as well as Chinese versions of "Bad Girl Good Girl", "Breathe", "Goodbye Baby" and "Love Again".
