⁽ LOST IN MY MEMORIES ⁾ ⁎ MBE ¸ the shorthand of memory bank entertainment, is a south korean company that specializes in music production. the company was founded in 2006 by jang minho, a successful producer who wanted more control in his music.

minho started off by debuting his first boy group in 2007, PASTPACE who was known for their vocals but were severely mismanaged by the company. they only released three albums before being shelved for the next big thing: BLOOSOOM. their first girl group debuted in 2009 with moderate success, especially with older male fans. the group faced multiple lineup changes throughout their four years of activity, and by their disbandment none of the original members were in the group.

in 2013 both groups terminated their contracts with memory bank and officially disbanded. a couple months later, the company faced several lawsuits from investors and businesses as they hadn't seen any profit or been paid by the company. multiple employees also came forward about not being paid, and so the investigation into the company began. memory bank temporarily shut down from 2013-2015, calling it a 'period of restructuring' although they had gone bankrupt.

by 2016, memory bank had been bought out by clockwork creative, a controversial decision since clockwork is one of the biggest entertainment companies in the country. the entire company was actually rehauled, and jang minho had been removed from the company since the lawsuits happened. eun jangmi, a young but rising employee at clockwork, was chosen as CEO for memory bank due to her creativity and strict work ethnic, along with her knowledge of the industry. within a year, the company was completely unrecognizable and suddenly the future seemed bright.

⁎ … … JANGMI EUN, also known by her former stage name EUNMI was born south korea, and the history of her family is unknown. jangmi was a member of the legendary girl group SUMONE'S GIRL and debuted when she was 14 under clockwork creative. jangmi was one of the most popular members in the group, but decided to go solo after their contract expired in 2015- however she never released any music.

she was approached by clockwork's ceo kim hyunwoo and offered a 'creative leadership position' which jangmi gladly accepted. she was made CEO of memory bank entertainment in late 2015, and despite being underestimated due to her age and inexperience, the company completely shifted into something new.

being a bit close in age to the new group LACY, jangmi is extremely close to the group and is often called their older sister. she is the first reason the member's list when recalling why they joined the disgraced company. ⋯ BIRTHDAY ⁙ july 5, 1994 ⋯ ZODIAC ⁙ cancer ⋯ BIRTHPLACE ⁙ seoul, south korea ⋯ HOMETOWN ⁙ unknown, seoul ⋯ NATIONALITY ⁙ korean ⋯ YEARS TRAINED ⁙ 3~ months ⋯ POSITIONS ⁙ main vocal, maknae ⋯ FACECLAIM ⁙ han sohee

⁎ … … DOWON KWAK, was born in south korea to an artistic family, both of his parents are accomplished musicians which gave him an instant foot into any musical pursuits. however, dowon's interest was more in illustration and directing. although he learned music to please his parents, he went to school for film and began working at various production companies before getting lured in by eun jangmi.

dowon is the creative director of everything memory bank's new group LACY does. some of his decisions have been controversial, but his vision is part of what has brought the group success. it is noted in interviews that the girls are close to dowon, but they do not get any creative freedom or say when it comes to their concepts, music, and other decisions. ⋯ BIRTHDAY ⁙ october 6, 1995 ⋯ ZODIAC ⁙ libra ⋯ BIRTHPLACE ⁙ seoul, south korea ⋯ HOMETOWN ⁙ gangnam , seoul ⋯ NATIONALITY ⁙ korean ⋯ FACECLAIM ⁙ lee dohyun

⁽ ALL YOU NEED IS ⁾ ⁎ LACY ¸ get to know the members of the fictional four member girl group under memory bank entertainment who debuted on march 14th 2020 with their single “ love world ”

⁎ … … HAEUN HWANG, known by her stage name LOVIE was born in south korea to a professor father and pediatrician mother, who haeun recalls being 'very strict.' despite her parents protests, haeun had a passion for the arts and was auditioning and performing whenever she could. she joined a dance team in middle school where she caught the eye of scouters from DOHE- one of the top four entertainment companies- and signed with them.

haeun left DOHE in 2018 after being removed from their debuting girl group 4TUNE and being told there was no longer a place for her there. she was immediately picked up by memory bank where eun jangmi promised her that she would debut within two years.

⁎ … … SORA KIM, known by her stage name ADORA was born in california to a banker mother and accountant father. sora grew up with a variety of skills and interests, especially in sports. she was getting ready for college when she joined her friends to a random audition in the city, not expecting anything and just doing it for fun. the company holding the audition was CLOCKWORK CREATIVE- the company that bought out memory bank. surprisingly, sora was accepted while her friends were not.

although she previously had little interest in performing, she was feeling aimless about her future and what she really wanted to do. sora graduated early from high school, and after speaking more with eun jangmi, she decided to sign with the subsidiary company and flew to seoul a month later in 2017. ⋯ BIRTHDAY ⁙ august 6, 2000 ⋯ ZODIAC ⁙ leo ⋯ BIRTHPLACE ⁙ california, united states ⋯ HOMETOWN ⁙ san francisco, california ⋯ NATIONALITY ⁙ korean-american ⋯ YEARS TRAINED ⁙ 3 years ⋯ POSITIONS ⁙ lead vocal, main dancer, sub rapper ⋯ FACECLAIM ⁙ park chaewon

⁎ … … CHAEYEON SEO, known by her stage name CHEY was born in south korea to a single working mother who chaeyeon calls her role model. although they struggled when she was growing up, chaeyeon has been working to support her family since she was a child by busking and helping neighbors. when she was 12, she was street casted onto a singing show looking for potential stars. although she didn't win the competition, she got far enough to show her skills and got the attention of STARSET STUDIO, a new company which had a handful of singers and actors at the time.

since chaeyeon was so young, the company was unsure of what to do with her, so she was thrown into acting and got to sing a couple of OSTs that never showed much success. chaeyeon left STARSET in 2016 to join CLOCKWORK where she finally got real training. she was then approached a year later to switch to their new subsidiary where she met eun jangmi and began training for LACY. ⋯ BIRTHDAY ⁙ may 19, 1997 ⋯ ZODIAC ⁙ taurus ⋯ BIRTHPLACE ⁙ seoul, south korea ⋯ HOMETOWN ⁙ gangseo, seoul ⋯ NATIONALITY ⁙ korean ⋯ YEARS TRAINED ⁙ 10 years ⋯ POSITIONS ⁙ main vocal, dancer ⋯ FACECLAIM ⁙ song hayoung

dancing came naturally to yurina, which is how she got into ONE IN A MUSIC when she was 15. yurina was one of the most talented trainees at the time, which got her on a flight to korea for a summer training camp. there, she met eun jangmi who managed to convince her that her skills her better suited for a group like LACY than whatever she was going to wind up in. ⋯ BIRTHDAY ⁙ april 17, 2002 ⋯ ZODIAC ⁙ aries ⋯ BIRTHPLACE ⁙ tokyo, japan ⋯ HOMETOWN ⁙ setagaya, tokyo ⋯ NATIONALITY ⁙ japanese ⋯ YEARS TRAINED ⁙ 3 years ⋯ POSITIONS ⁙ main dancer, lead vocal, rapper ⋯ FACECLAIM ⁙ fukutomi tsuki

⁽ ALL YOU NEED IS ⁾ ⁎ LACY ¸ is a four member fictional girl group who debuted on march 14th, 2020 under memory bank entertainment with their debut single “ love world ”. combining the first letters of each members name, the group is made up of lovie, adora, chey, and yurina. their concept explores love, obsession, jealousy, and co-dependency; all wrapped in addictive, sweet music and visuals.

lacy is the first group to debut in the company in over a decade due to the company going bankrupt after their first two groups were mismanaged and the company was found committing fraud. MBE was bought out and their old ceo was replaced with eun jangmi. she completely re-hauled the company and managed to secure enough funds to restart a trainee program, which started the search for the girl group. she also scouted their creative director dowon kwak, who oversees everything the group does.

the group began to rise in popularity between their debut and first comeback with the release of a dating sim themed around the group, with most of the attention being backlash. the girls in the game- although looking completely different- shared the same name as the members. fans of the group and later the company would defend the decision because of the group's concept. before their first comeback the game was patched to change the names, but still following the LACY pattern so the change was pointless. despite the controversies, the game continues to be updated upon each comeback and is greatly important to understanding the group's story.
