2017: Debut with Puzzle of POP and Yeonha's departure

edit

Before debuting, all members of P.O.P are trained under RBW Entertainment. On July 26, 2017, they debuted with the first EP Puzzle Of P.O.P along with title track Catch You under DWM Entertainment.

On August 1, it was revealed by DWM Entertainment that Yeonha would be taking a break from group activities due to her busy schedule and was in a poor condition. Yeonha, at the time, was being tested for myasthenia gravis.[3] Later on October 24, it was revealed by Ministry Health officials that Yeonha had terminated her contract with DWM Entertainment and left the group due to her health. P.O.P had been preparing for their comeback after wrapping up their debut activities. The group will continue as a five membered group. However, the group's comeback indefinitely postponed for unknown reasons.[citation needed]

P.O.P quietly disbanded in May 2018 due to inactivity.
