Lee Soojin, Shin Jiyoon, Park Soeun, and pre-debut member Park Haelin were contestants on the survival show MIXNINE. They are also the first group to debut under Play M Entertainment since Apink, thus Apink is their role model.

On May 7, 2020, Play M confirmed PlayM GIRLS would be making their debut sometime in June. On May 11, the group's debuting name Weeekly and its members were revealed. On June 11, a teaser scheduler revealed the group's first mini-album, We Are, was set for June 30. On June 16, a concept trailer for the album was released.
On June 30, the group officially debuted with the mini-album We Are and its title track "Tag Me (@Me)." This album recorded the largest number of sales by a new girl group in 2020.
On August 20, an official poll on the group's Daum Cafe revealed the group's official fandom name to be "Dailee," which means "without Dailee (Daily), Weeekly cannot exist." The official announcement was made three days later on August 23.
On September 8, 2020, a source from Play M Entertainment revealed Joy News 24 that, "Weeekly is preparing an album with the goal of an October comeback." This will be their first comeback in four months since their debut in June.
In the middle of anticipation for their new album, news has arrived of the group joining BigHit's own fan community platform Weverse. Weverse is already home to fan communities of BTS, TXT, CL, SEVENTEEN, AND GFRIEND. Weeekly will be the next to join this platform!
Fans can't wait to interact with the girls of Weeekly through Weverse and are even more eager now for their comeback. We wish them all the luck and success with their endeavors.
