Puretty () was a South Korean girl group established by DSP Media. The ensemble made their debut in Japan in 2012 through the anime series Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future, where animated versions of the members were portrayed as supporting characters. Their tracks "Cheki Love" and "Shuwa Shuwa Baby" were featured as ending theme songs. Although a debut in South Korea was intended, the group dissolved in January 2014, with DSP Media indicating that the members might later integrate into other groups.
History
In January 2012, DSP Media revealed plans for a sister group to Kara and Rainbow, initially referred to as the DSP Girls. The strategy involved simultaneous launches in Korea and Japan, linked to the 2012 video game and anime Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future, which included fictionalized portrayals of the members. Puretty also appeared alongside Prizmmy in the anime’s "Pretty Rhythm Studios" segments. Additionally, their Korean dubbed version incorporated a live-action segment called "Charming School at Prism Stone."
Puretty's inaugural official appearance took place at Tokyo Toy Show 2012 on 15 June, where they promoted their debut Japanese single "Cheki Love." They also performed at A-Nation in August 2012 and followed up with their second single, "Shuwa Shuwa Baby," released in January 2013.
