Busters () is a five-member South Korean girl group formed by Marbling E&M Inc. and JTG Entertainment in 2017.

History

Busters were formed to promote Monstergram’s upcoming TV series ''Idol Rangers Power Busters''. Prior to their debut, the group promoted with Chaeyeon, Jisoo, Hyungseo, Minji, and Soyeon. Soyeon left the group and was replaced by Minjung. They released their debut single album ''Dream On'' on November 27, 2017, and they made a comeback with their second single album ''Grapes'' on June 12, 2018. On January 26, 2019, it was announced through the Marbling official YouTube account that Minjung had left the group. She was replaced by Yeseo at the end of the month. They released their first extended play ''Pinky Promise'' on July 31, 2019, marking the official debut of member Yeseo. On November 18, 2019, it was announced that Minji had left the group due to personal reasons. On December 10, 2019, it was announced through the Busters official fan cafe that Jieun had joined the group.

On March 29, Hyungseo posted a letter to the official fan cafe announcing her departure due to her wanting to focus on her studies. Chaeyeon didn't participate in the comeback due to conflicting schedules caused by her MC position in ''Boni Hani''.
