Career

Pre-debut

During the latter half of 2010, rumors began to circulate through Korean media sites that E-Tribe, the producers behind breakthrough hits such as Girls' Generation's "Gee" and Lee Hyori's "U-Go-Girl", were planning to launch a new girl group. The producers quickly denied the rumors and said they were untrue. On December 9, 2010, E-Tribe's small-label company, Happy Face Entertainment, announced that they would be launching a six-member girl group named Dal Shabet.[2] Profiles of the group members were revealed on December 29, 2010, as well as their debut date: January 3, 2011.

Countdown.[4] The song proved to be quite successful as it topped many real time and music station charts for the majority of its promotional period. Promotions for "Supa Dupa Diva" ended on March 14, 2011, but it was revealed that the group would be holding their first comeback in April.[5] "Supa Dupa Diva" was later voted upon by various celebrities in a survey as the second most addicting song of 2011, as well as having the second most popular choreography.[6]

It was announced on August 2, 2011, that Dal Shabet would be making a "funky" comeback.[11] During the entire first week of August, concept photos for each member were released. The outfits in the concept photos were quickly met with controversy and were deemed "too sexual" for live television, causing a complete overhaul of the concept.[12] On August 10, 2011, Dal Shabet released their music video for "Bling Bling".[13] Promotions for "Bling Bling" began on August 12, 2011, on Music Bank.[14] The song proved to be their most successful yet, as it managed to break the top ten on the Gaon chart.

On July 1, 2013, men's rights group 'Man of Korea' filed an injunction to completely ban further distribution of "Be Ambitious". The group stated, "The lyrics and music video of "Be Ambitious" depreciate both women and men, and it's harmful to the youth. The music video also contains scenes that depreciate the 600,000 soldiers that are working hard in their enlistment."[36] On July 11, 2013, Happy Face Entertainment and 'Man of Korea' held a joint conference, where they discussed the lawsuit. Following the conference, 'Man of Korea' officially announced they would be dropping their lawsuit against Dal Shabet's "Be Ambitious".
