History
editPre-debut
editThe group has already caught the attention of the public due to their connections with famous personalities. They have been closely acquainted with numerous MCs and comedians such as Ji Suk Jin, Moon Hee Jun and so on, through their agency, Line Entertainment.[3] They also gained attention after their company stated that all members are able to sing and perform at the level of the lead vocalist in any other idol groups, which allows She'z to experiment with several different musical genres.[3]
Jinah and Taeyeon were appointed as MCs with Shin Dong Yup even before their official debut. They were confirmed as supporting MCs for Channel Q's ‘Miracle on 7th Street.’. The show was broadcast in mid May, right when the group had debuted.[4]
Taeyeon, earlier in 2012, was also featured on a track by Lee Hyunwook.
