On December 17, the group announced the formation of their second official sub-unit MDD, consisting of members Yechan and Yubeen, with their debut date set for December 19.[8]
2020: Departure of Aini and Yubeen, "Shadow Play"
On April 12, MyDoll released a statement saying Aini had departed from the group due to health concern and Arang was chosen to succeed her as a leader.[9]
On June 19, a teaser image was posted on the group's official Twitter account, titled "Shadow Play". The image indicates a release set for July; with only four members present in the image, it is believed a new sub-unit will be debuting.[10]
On June 28, MyDoll released a statement saying Yubeen had departed from the group due to health issues.[11]
On July 1, the group teaser for "Shadow Play" was released. MyDoll explained on the group's Daum Café that "Shadow Play" is technically a sub-unit song, but will be promoted as a group song. According to the company, too many sub-unit promotions might be confusing to broadcasting stations, and promoting this song under the full group name might bring more awareness to the full group. Internally, this sub-unit is named PinkFantasy Shadow.[12]
After "Shadow Play" promotions, they will focus on doing more full group activities.[12]
