Delight (딜라잇) was a five-member girl group under Bros Media Entertainment. They originally debuted as four on April 2, 2013 with their first mini album Mega Yak.
The group presumably disbanded sometime in 2015, following an extended period of inactivity, the deletion of their Facebook page, and the rebranding of their Twitter account.
