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]
