GP Basic (Korean: 지피 베이직) was a South Korean pop / k-hiphop / k-pop girl group of Park So Hee (leader, vocalist - aka Zion), Jung Hye Sun (vocalist, rapper - aka Trinity), Yeon Hee (main vocalist - aka Amet), Kim Mooyi (main dancer, rapper - aka Mui) and Byeon Seung Mi (vocalist, rapper - aka Janey). The band débuted with the EP Game (Aug 2010, GP Basic Entertainment / It's First Love).
The group gained notoriety upon their début due to the fact that they were is composed of six elementary schoolers and middle schoolers, with the group's average age being 13.3 years (in fact they are the second youngest K-Pop group ever, the first being G.Story, who had an average age of 9.75). In 2011, leader and main vocalist Hannah left the group and was replaced by Mui. In 2013 it was announced that Janey had left the group, joining 디유닛 as JNEY, and it was presumed the group had disbanded.
However, Janey said in an interview (while she was in D-Unit) that GP Basic had not disbanded, and she was still a member. “I take charge of rap, energy, and prettiness in the team. In the past, I’ve always wanted to try being with D-Unit unnis and I’m glad that I actually had the chance in their anticipated comeback. Although I joined D-Unit, GP Basic is not disbanding. I fit in D-Unit’s current album concept so I joined as a guest member."
On January 1, 2014, the group's official Facebook photo was changed to announce their comeback in February 2014. The group will be making a comeback with only five members - as Leah has reportedly left the group due to personal reasons - although the company has not made an official statement on the matter.
