Girl group · GLG · since 2011
The girl group that a four-year-old song saved: in February 2021, a day after the members discussed disbanding, a fan video sent "Rollin'" to the top of every Korean chart. Since 2023 they are called BB GIRLS.

Brave Girls began as a project of producer Brave Brothers and his company Brave Entertainment. Five members, led by Eunyoung, debuted on 7 April 2011 with "Do You Know". The success was modest, and after 2013 the group went quiet for more than two years. When it came back in 2016, the original members had gone. A new line-up, among them Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji and Yuna, released High Heels and, in March 2017, "Rollin'".
Nobody outside one audience paid much attention. Brave Girls played the armed forces show K-Force Special Show more than 72 times, and soldiers adored them. By February 2021 Yujeong and Yuna had already moved out of the dorm, and the members talked about calling it quits. On 24 February the channel VIDITOR posted a compilation of their "Rollin'" stages with viewers' comments. Within weeks the four-year-old song topped Melon, Genie, Bugs and FLO, and on 14 March it won Inkigayo, the first music show win of their career.
The releases that followed stayed with bright summer pop. "Chi Mat Ba Ram" led Summer Queen in June 2021, "After We Ride" came in August, and Thank You followed in 2022. Korean press still calls them the original summer queens. To these ears that steady, unflashy style is why "Rollin'" still worked four years after release.
When the Brave Entertainment contracts ended in February 2023, the four signed with Warner Music Korea and carried on as BB GIRLS. Yujeong left in April 2024 when that deal ran out, and in December the trio of Minyoung, Eunji and Yuna joined GLG. Since then they have released Love 2, a remake of "Hee-mang-sa-hang" and, on 16 July 2026, the summer single "Body Wave", co-produced by Minyoung.

The name of the first official fan club, opened for recruitment in November 2021, after the "Rollin'" turnaround.
On 7 April 2011, with the single album The Difference and the title track "Do You Know".
Minyoung, Eunji and Yuna. All three joined in the 2016 line-up. None of the five original members of 2011 are still in the group, Hayun stopped promoting in 2018 and Yujeong left in April 2024.
Their contracts with Brave Entertainment ended in February 2023. The four members signed with Warner Music Korea that April and on 3 May 2023 announced they would carry on as BB GIRLS. No reason was given, but in K-pop the old agency often holds the rights to a group name, which has made other groups rename too.
Fearless. The group opened recruitment for its first official fan club under that name in November 2021.
Yes, as the trio BB GIRLS under GLG. They released the single Love 2 in January 2025 and the summer song "Body Wave" on 16 July 2026.
