Although relatively new, SeeYa has become a popular group, with high-charting singles and strong-selling albums. Their are often called "Women SG Wannabe".

History

Their start came from the producers of boy band SG Wannabe, who decided to create a female version of the group. In 2005 they hosted auditions where Nam Gyu-ri, Kim Yeon-ji, and Lee Bo-ram were selected from a pool of about four-hundred hopefuls. The trio then received voice and dance training from k-pop's top producers and singers. It is rumored that up to ₩ 1,000,000,000 was invested on SeeYa to ensure their success.

Although their album 《The First Mind》 was released in February 24, 2006, their first single already made it to the top of the charts by spring. They debuted with "A Woman's scent" (여인의 향기) and "Shoes" (구두). They have also performed "Because I Love You" (사랑하기 때문에), which features SG Wannabe. They have continued performing through the year with "Crazy Love Song" (미친 사랑의 노래) a song from The Invisible Man (투명인간 최장수) soundtrack. They also performed a dance remix of "Crazy Love Song" to showcase their dancing ability.

Their second album 《Lovely Sweet Heart》 was released on May 25, 2007. The album sold 81,723 copies in 2007, making it the fifth best-selling album in Korea for the year, according to the Music Industry Assocication of Korea.

(결혼 할까요) and "Ice doll" (얼음 인형) is favorably commented upon.

On January 2, 2008 SeeYa released a special album with the title 《California Dream》.
