    CLC arrived as a five-piece, and Pepe and Like showed the bright funk and pop of the early years.
  • 2016
    Around the release of High Heels and No Oh Oh the line-up grew, and the international make-up strengthened with Sorn from Thailand and Elkie from Hong Kong.
  • 2017
    Hobgoblin, which involved HyunA, swung the impression sharply from cute to a hard girl crush.
  • 2018
    Black Dress pushed strong dancing and expression to the front, and the presence of Seungyeon and Yeeun became clearer.
  • 2019
    No brought a first win on a music show, and ME and Devil stacked strength and playfulness within a short span.
  • 2020
    HELICOPTER left a signature song that travels well abroad, with English phrases and visuals on a large scale.
  • 2022
    From then the work is followed as an archive, with routes back from Yujin in Kep1er and from the solo activity of Sorn and Yeeun.

KPOP DISCOVER's CLC note

What anchors CLC is the change from a cool, clear start to a hard girl crush. CUBE Entertainment debuted the girl group with Pepe in 2015, starting with Seunghee, Yujin, Seungyeon, Sorn and Yeeun, and in 2016 Elkie and Eunbin joined to make a seven-piece. The international make-up, with Sorn from Thailand and Elkie from Hong Kong, is part of the character.

The ways in are Hobgoblin, Black Dress and No. Hobgoblin gives the hard turning point, Black Dress the unity of the performance, and No a polished self-assertion, which makes the later picture easy to hold. Watching Pepe, Like, High Heels and No Oh Oh first instead brings out the brightness and charm of the debut years.

No brought a first win on a music show, and HELICOPTER left a signature song that reaches fans abroad through English phrases and visuals on a large scale. After that the catalogue is followed as an archive, with routes back from Yujin in Kep1er and from the solo activity of Sorn and Yeeun. Hobgoblin, then Black Dress, then No runs through the turning point, the unity and the self-assertion.

Editors' take Hobgoblin / Black Dress / No — a CUBE seven-piece moving from a cool, clear start to a hard girl crush across three songs.
