Notes[]
- ↑ Despite being a member, Jade only briefly appeared in their debut music video and didn't have any singing or dancing part. She also didn't promote with the group at any of their events.
- ↑ While the members in question weren't revealed, it can be assumed that they are ChaeE and Yunseol since they stopped promoting with the group in June 2015, aligning with the date that the members mentioned stopped promoting in A-Daily: May 30, 2015.
