In a Kpopstarz report, members Lee Soojin, Park Soeun, Shin Jiyoon, and pre-debut member Park Haelin, are from the survival show called 'MIXNINE,' where they participated as contestants.
Furthermore, WEEEKLY is the first girl band from PlayM Entertainment, coming after Apink. Shin Jiyoon, Park Soeun, and Lee Soojin are the only group members on the original pre-debut lineup.
On May 7 of this year, the agency revealed that the girl group is preparing for their debut in June. Four days after, the agency stunned the group's fans as they shared its new name WEEEKLY and new members. On June 11, a teaser delivered the schedule of the band's first extended play entitled 'We Are,' which was in full fuel for a release for June 30.
Following this, on June 30, WEEEKLY officially made known their first-ever mini-album 'We Are' with its lead single called 'Tag Me (@Me).' Moreover, the said album is recorded as the most significant number of copies sold by a rookie girl group in 2020, so far.
