CLC, a South Korean girl group formed by Cube Entertainment, made a significant impact on the K-pop scene since their debut in 2015. The group initially consisted of five talented members: Seunghee, Yujin, Seungyeon, Sorn, and Yeeun. Their debut EP, “First Love,” showcased their potential with the lead single “Pepe,” which was well-received and marked the beginning of their journey in the music industry. CLC quickly gained recognition for their vibrant performances and catchy songs, establishing a solid fanbase.
In 2016, CLC expanded their lineup to seven members with the addition of Elkie and Eunbin, further diversifying their musical style. Their third EP, “Refresh,” featuring the lead single “High Heels,” highlighted their growth as artists and included a successful Japanese debut with the EP “High Heels.” This period was marked by their international outreach, as they held fan meetings and tours, solidifying their presence in the Asian market.
The group achieved international commercial success with their fifth EP, “Crystyle,” which included the hit single “Hobgoblin.” This release showcased a more mature and charismatic image, earning them a spot on Billboard’s World Albums chart. CLC continued to innovate with their music, releasing various EPs that explored different genres and concepts, including the acclaimed “No.1,” which earned them their first music show win.
Despite facing challenges in recent years, including a hiatus from group activities, CLC members have successfully pursued individual careers in music and entertainment. Their philanthropic efforts, such as fundraising for children with disabilities, further demonstrate their commitment to making a positive impact. As of 2024, Eunbin remains active under Cube Entertainment, while the other members continue to thrive in their respective endeavors, showcasing the lasting legacy of CLC in the K-pop industry.
