MAJORS (메이져스) is a five-member girl group under ANS Entertainment. Originally as six, made their debut on March 9, 2021 with the digital single album "The Beginning of Legend".
The meaning behind their name is that all members have united to become the highest-level girl group as the major league refers to the highest-level tournament.[1]

As a result, only former ANS members Bian and Haena remained with the agency.[2] Later, ANS Entertainment announced that they would debut a new girl group which will include Bian as a member. Through Bian's Instagram account, it was shown that she has been training with the agency and five other new girls who will become members of the girl group. Despite no official announcements yet, it was found through Bian's accounts that the girl group will be named MAJORS and includes Minju, Jimin, Suji, Yerim and Chaeyoung.[3]
