CSR (/si-ɛs-ɑːr/; Korean: 첫사랑; RR: Cheotsarang; lit. First Love) is a South Korean girl group formed and managed by A2Z Entertainment. The septet—consisting of members Sua, Geumhee, Sihyeon, Seoyeon, Yuna, Duna and Yeham—was at the time of debut composed entirely of 17-year-olds, a first time in the industry. They made their official debut on July 27, 2022, with the release of their first extended play (EP) Sequence: 7272.

Name

CSR is an abbreviation of Cheotsarang (lit. First Love).[1] The company stated on the name that, "taking advantage of all members being seventeen years old, the group plans to show various interpretations of first love and tell the story of the members growing up year by year".[2]

History

2022: Introduction, debut with Sequence: 7272 and Sequence: 17&

On July 11, 2022, A2Z Entertainment (formerly Pop Music) announced that they would be debuting their first girl group.[3] The members were revealed through trailers on July 11 and July 12.[4][5] On July 12, 2022, the group's management company announced that the septet would be releasing their debut extended play Sequence: 7272 on July 28.[6] The music video for their debut lead single "Pop? Pop!" was released one day prior to the release,[7] and the press showcase was also held at Mastercard Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 27th and the album was officially released on July 28.[8] The group made their broadcast debut on Mnet's M Countdown on July 28 to perform "Pop? Pop!".[9]

On November 17, the group released their first single album titled Sequence: 17& and its lead single "♡Ticon" (pronounced "love-ticon").[10] With this release, CSR earned their first music show win on KBS's Music Bank on December 2, 2022.[11]

2023: Delight, leader switch and HBD To You (Midnight Ver.)

CSR released their second extended play Delight and its lead single "Shining Bright" on March 29.[12] On July 27, the leader of CSR was switched from Sua to Duna, as the group has rotational leaders, for every anniversary.[13]

The group released a special digital single "HBD To You (Midnight Ver.)" on November 26, as commemoration of the first anniversary of the group's fandom, Maeum.[14] On December 22, the group will be doing activities as a trio (Sihyeon, Yuna, Sua) for now since the other members are having some trouble with overseas schedules.[15]

2024: Chuang Asia

On January 15, it was announced that members Geumhee, Seoyeon, Duna and Yeham would be participating in the survival show Produce Camp Asia: Thailand (or Chuang Asia).[16]
