C-Real (Korean band)

C-REAL (Hangul: 씨리얼; RR: Ssirieol) is a three-member South Korean girl group formed by NAP Entertainment in 2011. They debuted with their song No No No No No on October 12, 2011. Their group name was taken from the first letter of each member's name. They are dubbed as the "5-IU Idols" because they are produced by Choi Kab Won, who also produced IU.

History

2011: Formation and debut

NAP Entertainment revealed, "We named the group in hopes that the girls will become 'more real' in their talents through time since they're so young now, but there is also the side reference to the food item. We thought of going with an innocent or R&B inspired name, but the netizens had a lot of fun with C-REAL since it's easy to remember and also fun."

Before debut, top producers support the debut of the group. The girls' debut album consists of work from Choi Kap Won at the lead, Brave Brothers, Kim Do Hoon, Wheesung, PJ, and Shinsadong Tiger. The reason these PDs are banding together to support the girl group is because they believe in the talents the girls have to offer.
