PRISTIN

PRISTIN has disbanded.

PRISTIN is known to be a blend of the words "prismatic" and "elastin." It has been explained as expressing both bright, clear colors and flawless strength. In Korean, the name is pronounced "Peuriseutin," which sounds very close to the English word pristine.

PRISTIN debuted on March 21, 2017, with "WEE WOO." The song was the title track of the group's debut mini album, HI! PRISTIN. With its bright, upbeat mood, the debut song introduced the group's first impression to listeners and set the tone for its activities.

At the time of its disbandment, PRISTIN belonged to Pledis Entertainment. The group's releases, performances and official announcements were handled through this agency. Today the former members work under different companies, so the most accurate information comes from each member's own official channels.

Before its official debut, PRISTIN was first introduced under the name Pledis Girlz. In 2016, several of the members appeared on Mnet's Produce 101, and the group later debuted officially with ten members. It was a team that had already been meeting fans before debut.

Yes. Among the members who appeared on Produce 101 before PRISTIN's debut, Lim Na-young and Zhou Jieqiong first promoted as members of I.O.I. After I.O.I's activities ended, the two debuted with PRISTIN. Many fans enjoy listening to the songs of both groups together.

Widely known PRISTIN songs include the debut track "WEE WOO" and "We Like," released the same year. Both songs stand out for their fresh, bright mood. If you are new to the group, these two songs are the best place to start before exploring the rest of its albums.

Yes. PRISTIN had a sub-unit called PRISTIN V. It debuted in 2018 with the single album Like a V and showed a bolder, more intense mood than the full group. Listening to the sub-unit's music as well lets you enjoy the group's catalog more broadly.

PRISTIN debuted in March 2017 and disbanded on May 24, 2019. Over about two years, the group was active both as a full team and through its sub-unit. After the disbandment, the members moved on to new activities in their own fields.

If you are new, start with the debut song "WEE WOO." Then listen to "We Like," and finish with the PRISTIN V sub-unit's music to feel the different moods the group explored. Listening to the full debut album HI! PRISTIN is also a good choice.

PRISTIN was active from 2017 to 2019 before disbanding, so the most accurate way to follow the members today is through each member's own official channels. Each member has a different agency and field of work, so rely on official announcements. Please avoid spreading unconfirmed rumors or following their private lives.
