In 30 seconds: Playback
Woolim, Yunji, Yujin and Hayoung debuted as four, Eunjin joined later, and the label's connection to Jessica's work sometimes brings people here sideways.
Worth a look if you like small catalogues where the singing carries everything.

From debut to now
- 2015Woolim, Yunji, Yujin and Hayoung debuted as a four-piece and, in the same year, released I Wonder with Eric Nam, leaving a bright R&B pop and vocal-leaning entrance.
- 2016Without new releases, official stage footage from Arirang and elsewhere still shows the voices, the expressions and the formations of the debut period.
- 2017Eunjin joined, and Want You To Say arrived with five members. The 1theK music video and the official Coridel Performance Ver. became the representative routes.
- 2018Television routes around Hayoung and Woolim left a way back to Playback itself, a group with little activity to show.
- 2020Hayoung's departure was confirmed, and from then on the group is traced mainly through its releases and official footage as a short-lived act.

KPOP DISCOVER's Playback note
Playback debuted from Coridel Entertainment in June 2015 as a girl group. They set out as a four-piece of Woolim, Yunji, Yujin and Hayoung, and Eunjin joined in 2017 to make five. The team colour built on R&B pop held steady from the debut onward, and they are sometimes discussed alongside the label context around Jessica. Hayoung's departure was confirmed in 2020, and since then the group is traced through releases and official footage rather than current activity.
Start with two songs: Playback and Want You To Say. The debut song Playback shows the individual character of four voices and the feel of bright dance pop. I Wonder, released the same year, features Eric Nam and leans on singing, which makes the raw vocal strength easy to hear. Want You To Say, from 2017, is the first major work after Eunjin joined, and both the formation of five and the depth of the R&B pop go up a step.
The active span from debut to around 2020 is only a few years, and the release count is not large. That is exactly why each piece of footage is dense: the singing of Woolim, Hayoung on MIXNINE, Eunjin's Produce 101 and Kpop Star history, so several doors back to individual members remain. Letting the small number of works act as the guide, Playback, then I Wonder, then Want You To Say covers the early dance pop, the raw vocal strength and the depth of the five-member lineup.
Editors' take Playback / I Wonder / Want You To Say — vocal-led R&B pop in three songs, out of a Coridel Entertainment five-piece.
Trivia worth knowing
Name
Group name and debut song are the same word, so there is no doubt about where to start with this short-lived act.
Line-up
They debuted as a four-piece, then moved to five after Eunjin joined in 2017, which is the line-up behind Want You To Say.
Singing
Following the vocal lines of Woolim and Eunjin makes the members stick despite how few releases exist.
Programme
Individual appearances on programmes such as MIXNINE and Produce 101 give a way back to Playback itself.
Official videos
Want You To Say leaves a different impression in the 1theK music video than in the Coridel Performance Ver., with song and choreography pulling apart.
Catching up
With so little material to cover, taking Playback, I Wonder and Want You To Say in chronological order is the clearest path.
