As One (; presented as AS ONE and known in South Korea as AS1 to distinguish from the identically named musical duo) was a Hong Kong Cantopop girl group established by Sun Entertainment Culture alongside choreographer Sunny Wong.
The name represents solidarity, highlighting the members’ unity "as one". The original lineup included four members: Shin, Oli, Elfa, and Nata. They performed as a quartet for two years until Oli departed in August 2014 to focus on her education. Subsequently, Chloe and Kayan joined in March 2015 after succeeding in a scouting audition. In May 2015, Elfa temporarily stepped back due to injury. Following this, As One promoted with four members: Shin, Nata, Chloe, and Kayan.
After training in South Korea, the group made their return in 2015. In 2016, Shin took part in the South Korean Mnet survival program Produce 101; during her involvement, the group continued activities as a trio.
