History

Formation and Gossip Girl (2009)

Around January 2009, the first rumors emerged regarding the release of a new "girl group" from DSP Media. The group was rumored to be composed of seven females, with accompanying reports suggesting that some members had been in training with DSP Media for four years.[1][2] During late October and early November 2009, DSP Media released daily teasers in the form of pictures of Rainbow, which culminated in the release of a music video teaser for Gossip Girl on November 6, 2009.[3][4]

On November 3, 2009, Rainbow was launched as an official musical group. DSP issued a statement explaining, "The members of Rainbow were picked so that their physical appearances wouldn’t be inferior to Fin.K.L".[5]

On November 11, 2009, the music video for "Gossip Girl" was released, coinciding with the five-song EP of the same name released the following day.[6] On November 14, 2009, the group debuted on Show! Music Core, performing "Gossip Girl", which was also their first single.[7]

Following the release of Gossip Girl, the group promoted "Not Your Girl", a single from the EP which was written in response to SS501's song "U R Man".

Image changes and rise of popularity (2010)

In early August 2010, DSP Media released a singlular picture as a teaser for the group's follow-up to Gossip Girl. The members wore plain white dresses, with eyeshadow colors that matched the rainbow color assigned to each of them. In the second teaser picture, released several days later, the members were displayed wearing two sets of outfits against two different backgrounds. On August 11, 2010, the music video for "A" was released and Rainbow; two days later, Rainbow appeared on KBS's television series, Music Bank. Subsequent performances were then broadcast on Show! Music Core and the SBS program Inkigayo.

On October 17, 2010, DSP released a selection of concept photos featuring Rainbow's members; these photos were in anticipation of a new single release for "A". The single was released on October 19, 2010, in addition to the complete set of the concept photos. On October 21, 2010, the first in a series of live performances was broadcast on the Mnet show M! Countdown, and was followed by three more performances. The group then commenced promotion for their next single, "Mach", until November 14, 2010.

Reports then revealed that Rainbow would change its image again, with DSP Media disclosing, "They’ve only shown innocent and sexy sides. They will show an image that will be upgraded. They will transform into the sexy dominatrix image."[8]

So Nyeo, Sweet Dream and Japanese debut (2011)

In April 2011, Rainbow released their second EP, SO 女. One song from the EP, "To Me", was released as a single. The season of spring was the overall concept for this release, and the EP's photos featured the band members in white dresses, with a field of flowers in the background.

An image portraying luxury was used for the promotion of "To Me", as the band sought to convey the revenge theme of the song. For the single's composition, Rainbow collaborated with Japan's Daishi Dance and elements of the music clip's ballet choreography were reportedly adapted from Swan Lake. On June 20, 2011, a 43-second teaser for Rainbow's next single release, "Sweet Dream", was uploaded onto DSP Media's YouTube channel, with the full music video released a day later. The "Sweet Dream" music video was filmed using a motion control camera.

The repackaged version of "SO 女" was released on June 22, 2011, and contained alternate tracks such as "Sweet Dream", an acoustic version of "Kiss" (from Gossip Girl), a club version of "To Me", and an instrumental version of "Sweet Dream". On June 23, 2011, Rainbow performed on M! Countdown in support of the repackaged release.Vorlage:Citation needed

On September 7, 2011, Rainbow topped Recochoku's weekly download rankings for the Japanese release of their "A" music video. The group held their inaugural performance in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district, drawing a crowd of 2,000 fans, and performed “A”, followed by fifteen minutes of discussion.[9] On September 14, 2011, Rainbow released their debut single in the Japanese market, "A", and reached #3 on Oricon's daily single chart, selling 10,141 copies.[10] The single release included a Japanese remake of their debut single "Gossip Girl", as well as an exclusive DVD. Rainbow made their Japanese TV debut on the show Sukkiri, performing "A". On December 7, 2011, the group released their second Japanese single, a Japanese version of the song "Mach" (Vorlage:Lang-ja), and reached #9 on Oricon's weekly chart.Vorlage:Citation needed

On January 3, 2012, DSP Media announced that a section of the group will be formed as a trio. On the same day, a teaser image was revealed on DSP Media's website, revealing "Rainbow Pixie" as the trio's name. On January 4, 2012, another image revealed the members of the group as SeungAh, Jisook and HyunYoung. The group released their debut song, "Hoi Hoi", on January 12, 2012,[11] and held their first performance on Show! Music Core.[12]

DSP Media announced that the remainder of the group will be undertaking other projects in South Korea until further notice.

Jaekyung is currently recording and promoting jTBC's drama Monster, which premiered on April 2, 2012.[16] On April 19, 2012, DSP Media stated that HyunYoung had been diagnosed with a vocal cord polyp and underwent surgery for its removal, further stating that, "As her schedule became busier, she had to use her voice more, which is why I think she developed the polyp."[17] The group is expected to make a comeback in South Korea during August or September 2012.[18]
