In 30 seconds: BESTie
The songs run bright and comic, and the stage work leans on approachability rather than distance.
Pick this if you know EXID and want to hear what those same voices did somewhere else.

From debut to now
- 2013Pitapat opened the run, and Love Options through to Zzang Christmas set out a bright pop line at short intervals.
- 2014Thank U Very Much, Like A Star, Hot Baby and I Need You stacked up, adding signature songs across an EP and its repackage.
- 2015Love Emotion arrived, and Excuse Me left an entry where the stage presence and the singing of BESTie come together.
- 2017U.JI and Dahye left the agency, and the threads widened into individual singing, musicals and acting.
- 2018New releases under the group name stopped, so the density of the years from 2013 to 2015 is what remains to follow.

KPOP DISCOVER's BESTie note
BESTie made a vivid debut in July 2013 with Pitapat, a four-piece girl group signed to YNB Entertainment. Hyeyeon, U.JI and Haeryung are still on record as early members of EXID, and with Dahye added the lineup reads as an answer to the question of what happens when familiar faces take a different road. From the debut to the end of 2015 they piled up releases that combined pop, dance pop and comic visual style with real singing.
Love Options or Excuse Me is the natural first pick. Love Options delivers comic expression and a burst of movement riding the chorus, while Excuse Me shows the depth of singing and the polish of the hook that BESTie had reached by 2015. Thank U Very Much sits between them, a song where choreography built on the formations of the four stands out, and it is essential for grasping how the group worked on stage.
U.JI and Dahye left the agency in 2017, and new work under the group name has been absent since 2018. Each has widened her own thread as a singer, in musicals or as an actor, so the name keeps working as the point people trace those careers back to. Love Options, then Thank U Very Much, then Excuse Me runs from the core of the pop through the heat of the stage to the depth of the singing.
Editors' take Love Options / Thank U Very Much / Excuse Me — a straight line from popular pop to the depth of the singing, by the YNB Entertainment four-piece.
Trivia worth knowing

Love Options dates from 2013 yet keeps being rediscovered, and it is the doorway to the brighter side of BESTie.
EP
