History
2016–2017: Debut
In June 2016, Mnet's survival program Finding Momoland began, a reality show that was created by Duble Kick Entertainment where a group of seven members were selected from 10 trainees. It was decided that the members were going to make their debut, but the Final Mission could not collect 3,000 spectators, so the official debut was delayed for a while to prepare for their debut, promotional events, fan meetings, and the street. On October 26, 2016, the group was appointed as ambassadors for the International Relief Development NGO Plan Korea. The group's debut showcase was held on November 9 of the same year. On November 10, they released their debut extended playWelcome to Momoland and made their debut through M Countdown. Their first debut album is made possible by crowdfunding to cover the cost for producing the physical album. On December 27, six members except Yeonwoo, who stopped working due to lower back pain, attended SBS Gayo Daejeon. In October 2016, Momoland, appointed as the PR ambassador for the International Relief Development NGO Plan Korea, volunteered at the Phuc Luong Village in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam from December 12 to 16, 2017, to encourage Happy Mov students to participate in Kindergarten construction service.
On March 28, 2017, Daisy and Taeha joined the group, increasing the group to nine members. In April 2017, the group had a comeback with their digital single "Wonderful Love". On August 22, 2017, they released their second EP, Freeze!, with the title track "Freeze".
2018–present: Breakthrough and line-up changes
On January 3, 2018, they made a comeback with their third EP, Great! with the title track "Bboom Bboom". The same month, Serebro accused Momoland of plagiarizing their song "Mi Mi Mi" with "Bboom Bboom". The composer of "Bboom Bboom", Shinsadong Tiger, denied the allegations by pointing out that "the bass line commonly heard in retro house or electro swing genres, as well as the 4-stanza chord." Momoland held promotional events in Tokyo and Osaka from February 28 until March 4, 2018. The group garnered 25,000 spectators at an event held in Japan over four days. Approximately 100 media also participated in the showcase held at Tower Records in Shibuya. Momoland also signed with King Records and debuted in Japan on June 13, 2018, with a Japanese version of their single "Bboom Bboom". On June 26, 2018, they released their fourth EP titled Fun to the World with the title track "Baam". On August 9, 2018, Momoland became the first girl group – and the second act – to earn a Platinum certification by Gaon Music Chart, for over 100 million streams for the song "Bboom Bboom".
On March 20, 2019, Momoland released their fifth EP titled Show Me with the lead single "I'm So Hot", which became their first release without Daisy and Taeha since Welcome to Momoland. On September 4, 2019, Momoland released their first Japanese studio albumChiri Chiri without Daisy, Taeha and Yeonwoo. On October 4, 2019, the group and MLD Entertainment signed a co-management agreement with the Philippine media corporation ABS-CBN. In late 2019, Momoland reformed as six members, as Yeonwoo, Taeha and Daisy left the group. On December 30, 2019, Momoland released their first single album Thumbs Up with the lead single of the same name.
