BugAboo ( /ˈbʌɡəbuː/; Korean: 버가부; RR: Beogabu, commonly stylized as bugAboo) was a South Korean girl group formed and managed by A Team Entertainment. The group was composed of six members: Eunchae, Yoona, Rainie, Cyan, Choyeon, and Zin. The group made their debut on October 25, 2021, with the release of their eponymous single album. After a year and two months of activities, the group officially disbanded on December 8, 2022.
The name BugAboo represents a fearful and surprising existence in the imagination, containing determination and saying "Let's overcome the fearful existence in our hearts together and realize our dreams". It was also revealed by A Team that the name was also inspired by Peek-a-boo. [1]
In 2018, Eunchae (then representing Million Market) and Choyeon competed in Produce 48, finishing 32nd and 50th, respectively.

Jhun, the group's producer and CEO of A Team Entertainment, that BugAboo was originally scheduled to debut in 2020, but it was postponed and then moved to the fall of 2021.[ citation needed] The group went by the tentative name A Team Dream, and they covered songs on their now-defunct YouTube channel. [4]
The group released an official logo motion teaser and a silhouette teaser on September 1, 2021, announcing their debut in October 2021. [5] [6] BugAboo was the first group to make their debut under the company in six years, following the debut of their first boy group VAV. [7] Two days prior to the release, they held a special debut showcase called Prick or BugAboo, which was live telecast on SBS MTV. [8] On October 25, 2021, the group released their self-titled debut single album BugAboo. [9]
On June 13, 2022, BugAboo released their second single album, Pop. [10] [11] On December 8, 2022, A Team Entertainment shared that after long discussions, the company and the members had decided to disband the group and terminate the contracts of all members. [12]
