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.
Name
[edit | edit source]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]
