Miss A is a girl group launched by JYP Entertainment in 2010. Considered as one of the most legendary girl groups from the second-generation K-pop — let us know if how did the members thrived as solo artists after they parted ways in 2017.
In July 2010, JYP Entertainment introduced its newest girl group Miss A comprised of Fei, Jia, Min, and Suzy.

With their single, "Bad Girl, Good Girl," Miss A became the first-ever K-pop act to top "Gaon Digital Chart" with a debut track, and later on, it became the best performing single in 2010.
Their popularity went on with various hit tracks such as "Touch," "I Don't Need a Man," "Hush," etc., until Jia suddenly left the group in 2016.
In November 2017, Min also departed from the group and just a month later, JYP Entertainment announced their official disbandment.
