CTHRU (Korean: 씨트루) is a nine-member girl group under Real Entertainment. Originally as eight, they debuted as "YASC" on November 20, 2020, with the single album "Welcome". They were then incorporated into their company's super-group, PM, on August 14, 2022, until December 9, 2023, when they again became an independent group after the super-group's reorganization.
==Career==
===2020-2021: Formation, debut with "Welcome", line-up changes===
On the 1st of November, 2020, Real Entertainment announced that after their success of their original group, United Harmony, they would be debuting another group to follow up their success. During the following few days, they released group profiles for Liliana, Anita, Kesha, Bebe, Christos and Giannis, and a group photo for YASC. However, on November 11, they released two surprise teasers for members Ines and Maria, making the debut line-up 8 members. They released their first single album, Welcome, just 8 days later to much success.
In October of 2021, member Giannis stopped updating fans on the group's social media and stopped appearing on the group's media, making many assume that he has left the group. This claim was confirmed on the 7th of November, when new member Nilva was revealed, and he was removed from the group's social media descriptions.
===2022-2023: Incorporation into PM and more line-up changes, feature in PM's first mini-album, separation from the group, We Go Up 4===
On April 14, 2022, it was announced that YASC would incorporate into Real Entertainment's new super-group, PM, consisting of every idol the company held at the time. It was also announced that multiple new members would be joining the group, in order to match the 16 member line-up the other sub-units had. Those members ended up being Keti, Stefanos, Antonia, Marianna, Giousef, Panos, Virginia, as well as Tamara of United Harmony, who had been swapped into this group to make space for Fani to join United Harmony. However, just 2 months after the announcement on June 19, Antonia, Marianna, Panos and Virginia, as well as 3 original members, Bebe, Christos and Maria, decided to leave the group. They were replaced by CupcakKe, Chase, Debbie, Jessie, Karina, Suna and Trisha, as well as a name change to CTHRU.
On January 31, 2023, member Ines had her solo debut with the digital single "O Presidente Me Parou".
On June 13, 2023, PM debuted with their first mini-album, Messenger. This mini-album also incuded a song sung by CTHRU, titled Sick Love. However, on the 17th of July, 2023, it was revealed that Kesha, Jessie, Keti, Stefanos, Debbie and Suna would be departing from the group and agency after requesting for their contracts to be terminated.
On July 20, 2023, Tamara departed from the group to prepare for her return to United Harmony, and was replaced by guest member Geo (who was previously in Harmony as a guest member to replace Antonia during her hiatus) for a week, until she was ultimately replaced by Fani. She departed from the group just a month later, on August 21. On the 9th of December, 2023, it was revealed that PM would be rebranding, and that its sub-units would be let go as independent groups, meaning that CTHRU was once again an independent group.
Members Nilva, Ines and Giousef were revealed to be in the line-up of the survival show We Go Up 4 on December 14. Only Ines managed to debut out of these 3, but withdrew from the debut group due to its' rigging scandal.
===2024-2025: Hiatus, first comeback and sub-unit debut===
On July 23, 2024, it was announced that CTHRU would be going on hiatus for the time being to allow the members to rest after the previous troublesome period. However, on December 31, 2024, it was announced that CTHRU would be having their first comeback in 2025 with their current 9-member lineup.
On February 1, 2025, Giousef became the second member to have her solo debut, releasing her first digital single titled "Asteraki Mou".
Just a month later, on March 1, it was revealed that the first sub-unit of CTHRU, named CTHRU-R, would debut on March 13, with the single album "Uh".
