## History

### 2018-2019: Pre-debut

In December 2018, CRAXY participated in S.A ITAINMENT's seasons project under the name "Wish Girls". Their song "Wish For You" was released on YouTube on December 26, 2018 and on their Naver blog on December 29, 2018. The song uses elements and lyrics from several popular Christmas songs, such as "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", and instrumentals reminiscent of the sound of the Korean rock group "Diablo".

In 2019, the company announced that each member would get a pre-debut solo. The first solo, titled "ISSUE (이슈)", was released on May 17, 2019, and was performed by Woo-Ah. "ISSUE" was followed up by "Boyfriend (보이프렌드)" by Hyejin (feat. Woo-Ah) on August 10, 2019. On August 30, ChaeY's solo "SIXTEEN (16)" (feat. Woo-Ah and KaRin) was released and on September 25, SWAN received her solo with "My Soul (내 노래가 들리나요)". The solo releases were concluded on October 24, 2019 with KaRin's "Ka Ka Ka (카카카)" (feat. HyeJin).

In continuation of S.A ITAINMENT's seasons project, the group released "Yours Is Mine" on July 12, 2019 in collaboration with Glenn Alinskie and Chelsea Olivia, two Indonesian actors. The song and music video represent the season of summer. The song was released on streaming sites on August 21.

On July 24, 2019, S.A ITAINMENT announced a "Yours Is Mine"-themed competition called "We The WishGirls" (WTW). The competition was split into two categories - dance and vocal cover. The price was listed as a trip to Korea, where the winner would shoot a music video and record a song and choreography. A month later, on August 31, they announced the dance cover winners, a dance group called "I'GENERATION" from Indonesia. On September 6, the vocal cover winners were announced as well: Diva from Russia, Gigi from Hong Kong, Aalyiyah from Beligum, Laras from Indonesia, and Yoeriche from Indonesia. The final result was released under the title "We The WishGirls" on December 9, 2019.

On December 13, 2019, the group posted a teaser for their upcoming winter project "WishXMas" on their YouTube channel. The teaser featured all the girls from the WTW project. Five days later, on December 18, the finalized music video was published. A note was attached to the end stating: "Training is done... The first generation of WishGirls is preparing for the real world... for their dreams. PS: The second generation of WishGirls will be meeting you soon", announcing that the WishGirls would debut soon, although an exact date wasn't stated yet. It also hinted at a new girl group being in the works.

On January 15, 2020, a member of the second generation of WishGirls, Park Si-hyun, announced that their debut would be in the first half of 2020.

### 2020: Debut with *My Universe*

On January 10, 2020, S.A ITAINMENT revealed the new official group name, "CRAXY", through a teaser for their pre-debut single "My Universe" (나의우주). Six days later, the official music video for "My Universe" was released  and became available on streaming sites exactly a month later.

On February 13, 2020, the group announced that they would debut on March 1 with their album *My Universe*, which would consist of ten tracks, including all of their pre-debut songs and the title track, "Aria". A teaser for the title track was released on February 25.

On March 1, however, the company stated that CRAXY's debut date would be pushed back to March 3 due to internal problems.

The official music video for "Aria" was released on March 3, 2020.
