From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Puretty (Korean: 퓨리티) was a South Korean girl group formed by DSP Media. The group debuted in Japan in 2012 through the anime series Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future, where fictionalized versions of the members appeared as the secondary cast, and their songs, "Cheki Love" and "Shuwa Shuwa Baby", were used as the series' ending theme songs. Despite plans for them to make their Korean debut,[1] the group disbanded in January 2014, with DSP Media announcing the possibility of its members becoming part of other groups in the future.[citation needed]
