History

Busters were formed to promote Monstergram’s upcoming TV series Idol Rangers Power Busters.[2] Prior to their debut, the group promoted with Chaeyeon, Jisoo, Hyungseo, Minji, and Soyeon.[3] Soyeon left the group and was replaced by Minjung.[citation needed] They released their debut single album Dream On on November 27, 2017,[2] and they made a comeback with their second single album Grapes on June 12, 2018.[4]

On January 26, 2019, it was announced through the Marbling official YouTube account that Minjung had left the group.[5][6] She was replaced by Yeseo at the end of the month.[7][8] They released their first extended play Pinky Promise on July 31, 2019, marking the official debut of member Yeseo.[9] On November 18, 2019, it was announced that Minji had left the group due to personal reasons.[10] On December 10, 2019, it was announced through the Busters official fan cafe that Jieun had joined the group.[11]

On August 6, 2020, Marbling Entertainment announced that the group would be on hiatus and be reorganized.
