2018–2020: Pre-debut[]

Since the very beginning of the group, its lineup of trainees saw many changes. On September 1, 2018, FAVE Entertainment announced that trainees Lee Soomin, Park Soyeon, and Kim Bowon had left the agency and the group after terminating their contracts.[1]

On October 18, FAVE Entertainment announced its plans to debut a new girl group, tentatively named FAVEGIRLS, sometime in early 2019. A pre-debut showcase, titled WE?, that would feature seven "candidates" of the group, was set to be held on November 11.[2]

Starting on October 21, the seven trainees were revealed every day via social media. The first trainee to be revealed was Lee Soojin, followed by Monday, Park Haelin, Shin Jiyoon, Park Soeun, Kim Gaeun, and Lee Jaehee on October 27.[3]

On February 13, 2019, Kakao M announced that FAVE Entertainment and Plan A Entertainment would be merging. The company's new name, IST Entertainment, was announced on March 29.[4][5] Thus, the group's tentative name was changed to PlayM GIRLS and debut preparations were delayed.

In July, trainee Park Haelin left PlayM and the project to focus on her studies.[6] In August, Kim Gaeun also left both the agency and the group.[7] By October, trainees Han Jihyo and Jo Hyewon had officially joined the pre-debut lineup.[8]

On April 28, 2020, the group uploaded a video, titled 'Who R U?', to their official YouTube channel. Through the video, the stage names for Jihan (formerly Han Jihyo) and Zoa (formerly Cho Hyewon) were revealed.[9]

On August 1, PlayM Entertainment released a statement announcing that member Shin Jiyoon would be going on hiatus temporarily from all activities due to reoccurring stress and anxiety. Thus, the group's mini album Play Game : Holiday, would be promoted as six members.[23]

On December 14, IST Entertainment announced that Shin Jiyoon would be returning from hiatus starting from December 15 and continue activities with the group.[24]

On February 28, it was announced that Shin Jiyoon would not be participating in the album's promotions due to focusing on treatment and recovery for her anxiety.[27]

On June 1, IST Entertainment released a statement stating that as of that day, Jiyoon would be ending her activities as a member of Weeekly.
