Where Is BESTie Now? Current Status of Former EXID Members
Initially known as "group composed of former EXID members," BESTie experienced decent success thanks to their popular releases. However, due to strong girl group competition around that time, BESTie's fame decreased, leading to disbandment.
Where are the members now?
In 2013, BESTie was introduced by YNB Entertainment as a four-member girl group. At that time, they made headlines for comprising of former EXID members Hyeyeon, Haeryung and Uji who left the group due to personal reasons.
When they released their debut track "Pitapat," BESTie showed potential in the K-pop scene, and they soon established a stable career, creating two hit albums of all releases "Hot Baby" (2014) and "Love Emotion" (2015).
Unfortunately, the girl group failed to create their "golden era," leading Uji and Dahye to terminate their contracts with YNB. In 2018, Hyeyeon and Haeryung also departed from the agency, and their group eventually parted ways unofficially.
