Pre-debut

In February 2015, MBK Entertainment announced its plans to debut a new girl group. Originally, the company had decided to have possible candidates for their new group compete on a reality survival program, through which the public could become familiar with the group members. MBK Entertainment revealed the first potential members to be Cathy, Eun Jin, Seung Hee, and Dani. Seung Hee originally made her debut as member of F-VE DOLLS in 2013, however she left two years later when the group disbanded. The next three members to be added were Kim Minhyun, Moon Seulgi and Chae Yeon. However, Dani, Seulgi, and Minhyun later on dropped out of the project. Eunice was briefly a member of the group Jewelry, but never officially debuted with them before their disbandment in early 2015. Ultimately, by June MBK Entertainment had changed their plans, and decided to cancel the reality survival show and choose the members of the group themselves. DIA's members were formally introduced to be Seung Hee, Eunice, Cathy, Jenny, Ye Bin, Eun Jin and Chae Yeon.
