The Wind (바람; also known as BR or Baram), was a South Korean female ballad trio under PY Studios. They debuted on June 6, 2010, with the self-titled single "The Wind". They disbanded due to the final lineup terminating their contracts.

The trio's final lineup consisted of Wooju, Seolhae, and Yeowool.

History

Pre-debut

Prior to the groups debut, member Wooju debuted as a musical actress and member Hanbit worked as an actress.

Additionally, the final lineup consisted of Wooju, Hanbit, and predebut member Songhee, however Songhee departed shortly before the debut.

2010: Debut, Hanbit's departure

On May 10, a teaser was revealed of an upcoming trio consisting of Wooju, Hanbit, and Subin. The group was given its own reality show Must be The Wind that documented their debut progress. At the end of the documentary, it was revealed they would be debuting on June 6th with the single "The Wind".

On June 6, the group made their debut with said single. Member Wooju went viral for her highnotes, causing her to receive a lot of attention towards her and the group. Hanbit also gained a lot of attention due to her youthful look, and Subin garnered attention for her rapping skills. The promotional period was jampacked with different activities and appearances. After the promotional period ended, the members rested.

It was revealed at the end of 2010 that member Hanbit had departed from the group, and would be replaced with Youngjoo.

2012-2014: Further comebacks, Subin's departure

On February 17, 2012, the group made their first comeback with their first studio album It's Okay to be Lonely. The album gained noticeable attention, with Wooju, again, going viral with her highnotes. Member Youngjoo garnered some attention because her mother, Lee Yoon-ja, was a famous vocalist. The group made one more comeback on 2012.

The group released their first special single on September 8, 2013, titled "ANEMOI", which also revealed the groups' fan name of the same name.

On March 7, 2014, it was reported that members Subin and Youngjoo had departed from the group

2015: Lineup changes, When Your Love Never Comes Back

On March 26, 2015, members Amin and Yeowool joined the group. Amin's addition was not received well at all by the public, as Amin was 12 when she was added. So, a month later, Amin departed from the group to pursue further training. She was then replaced by Seolhae.

They made their first comeback in almost a year with their second studio album When Your Love Never Comes Back.

2016-2017: Hiatus, Ice Cream of Sorrow, disbandment.

During all of 2016, the trio went on a hiatus to focus on solo activities; with members Wooju and Seolhae debuting solo and member Yeowool pursuing an actor career.

On June 9, the trio revealed that member Wooju's contract was expiring. This worried the fans, who wanted her to resign. They would then release their first and only EP titled Ice Cream of Sorrow. On July 7, it was revealed that Wooju's contract would be terminated alongside Seolhae and Yeowool's contracts, thus unofficially confirming the disbandment of The Wind.
