Berry Good (Hangul: 베리굿; RR: Beri Gut) is a South Korean girl group formed by Asia Bridge Entertainment in 2014. The group currently line-up consists of Taeha, Johyun, Seoyul, Daye, Sehyung and Gowoon. They released debut single Love Letter in May 2014.
History
2014-2015: Debut with Love Letter and line-up changes
Berry Good debuted on May 21, 2014, with the music video for "Love Letter", a remake of the song released by Click-B in 2000.[1][2][3] The eponymous single was released the following day,[4] when they also started promotions on M! Countdown.[5]
In January 2015, Asia Bridge Entertainment stated that Subin, Iera and Nayeon had left the group, and introduced new member Seoyul,[6][7] followed by Daye and Sehyung.[8][9][10] Their second single Because of You was released on February 9.[11][12][13] They started promotions on February 10 on SBS MTV's The Show.[14]
On September 23, their third single My First Love was released.[15] Two music videos were produced, one of which features actress Kim Bo-ra. The song, posthumous work of composer Joo Tae-young, was first performed in advance on September 20 at Hallyu Dream Concert,[16][17] and promotions started on September 22 on The Show.[18]
2016: Very Berry, new member Johyun and Glory
On March 11, Berry Good launched a crowdfunding campaign to produce their first EP on Makestar. The ₩10-million goal was reached in ten days[19][20] and the campaign ultimately raised ₩16,084,438, 160.8% of its original goal. On April 20, the crowdfunded mini-album Very Berry, led by title track "Angel", was released.[21] Their following release was crowdfunded on Makestar as well.[22] The project started on September 1 as a new single, but it was later upgraded to a mini album,[23][24] and ended raising ₩26,896,790, 268.97% of its original 10-million goal. Concurrently with this comeback, on October 25 the group added a new member, Johyun, bringing the total number of members up to six.[25] Three out of four songs from the EP, including the lead track "Don't Believe", were showcased on Arirang Radio's K-poppin' one day before their release.[26] The official music video for "Don't Believe", and the group's second mini album Glory, were released on November 1.[27]
Image and musical style
Berry Good started their career with dance tracks,[28] before releasing their first ballad "My First Love" in September 2015. It was described as a "melancholy piece that portrays a first love different from the usual heart-fluttering experiences that similar themed songs tend to champion."[29] To promote "Don't Believe" in November 2016, Berry Good underwent a change of styling and concept to take off the original girlish, neat and pure image,[30] adding EDM and tropical pop elements to their music.[26]
