Information
Seeya was formed from an audition conducted by GM Entertainment. Following that, SeeYa received a year of full vocal and dance training. Before their debut, SeeYa was exposed to live performance as guest singers in concerts together with their mentor SG Wannabe. Their title track The First Mind debut into the top 10 of the Korean charts.
SeeYa was performing on August 20, 2006 at SBS network music show Inki Gayo when one of the backup dancers collapsed due to seizure. Instead of helping her, SeeYa and the rest of the backup dancers continued to perform. Staff rushed out to get the injured dancer off the stage. This raised questions about why SeeYa did not stop performing to help the dancer. One member of the group replied that since the dancer was behind See Ya, they did not see her fall and feel guilty for not helping. Currently the dancer is recovering in the hospital.
On December 23'rd 2006 during a cover performance of Beyonce's hit single "Crazy in Love" at the The 2nd BIG4 Concert, SeeYa found themselves in the midst of huge controversy in which one of the members, Nam Gyu Ri's right breast was exposed. Her right shoulder strap was broken during the performance. Unaware of the wardrobe malfunction she continued to perform with her breast exposed for about a minute.
In 2008 netizens became concerned with Nam Gyu Ri stance in the group as she had blogged about leaving the group temporarily to focus on a solo career. In a shocking decision Gyu Ri announced she would leave Seeya to focus on an acting career, however, Gyu Ri faced legal action as she had 2 years left on her contract but refused to participate in the recording of the groups 4th album. This created an outburst between the other members of SeeYa which leads to heated comments between the members on their official Cyworld.
In August 2009 after much speculation of Ji Yeon (now a member of T-ara) being the new member of the group it was announced that the replacement for Nam Gyu Ri would be 20 year old former stewardess in training Soo Mi. Kim Yeon Ji will take over as lead vocals for the group.
SeeYa's new mini album with new member Soo Mi is expected to be released on October 28th 2009.
