About HELLOVENUS
Before the debut there were eight girls competing to stay in the group. By a process of elimination only seven remained by the final, the eighth, Da In, ended up being a member of the group Wassup.
 * Pre-Debut

Then PLEDIS grabbed the trainees Nicole, Lime, Yoo Ara, and Yoon Jo, who were Pre-School Girls (trainees for After School), and along with the trainees of Fantagio Alice, Nara and Yoo Young, to make the group. However Nicole wanted to be part of the group After School instead and not Hello Venus. Pledis officially introduced her as an After School trainee, but it turned out to be a problem because PLEDIS had already admitted Ka Eun, who was going to debut in her place, so Nicole returned to the United States leaving the company.

Pledis Entertainment collaborated with Fandagio Entertainment, an acting agency, to give Hello Venus their debut as actresses. According to reports offered by both agencies in a press release, the group had been prepared beforehand for their first single, the training had taken about a year and a half. Three of the members are from Fandagio Entertainment (Nara, Alice and Yoo Young) and three are from Pledis Entertainment (Yoo Ara, Yoon Jo, and Lime). Fandagio would be in charge of the promotional performances after its debut and Pledis would be in charge of the variety.
