OH MY GIRL (오마이걸, also stylized as OMG) is a six-member girl group under WM Entertainment. Originally with eight members, they released their self-titled debut mini album on April 20, 2015 and held their debut stage on The Show the following day.
History
2015: Debut with Oh My Girl, Closer, LA Airport incident
OH MY GIRL was publicized as the new sister group of label-mate group B1A4. On March 29, teaser images of the eight members were released as well as their concept images. On April 20, the group released their first mini-album Oh My Girl with "Cupid" as the lead track, and held their debut showcase the same day. They first performed the song on SBS The Show.
On June 21, the group announced that they were currently preparing a new album. On October 1, teaser images for their comeback album, Closer, was released. The music video for their lead track "Closer" was released on October 7.
On December 11, the group flew to LA for a photoshoot for their next album jacket and to perform at a special event, but could not get cleared by customs to enter the US. The group's management claimed that customs mistook the girls for underage prostitutes due to props and outfits for their special performance at an event on the Saturday of that week, and that they were detained for 15 hours. However, an official with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection later stated that management was lying about the reason for being denied entry. Upon seeing the contents of the performers' luggage, customs officials determined the group was entering the U.S. to perform, not to go sightseeing as the group had claimed. As the group did not have the required P1 performance visa, they were denied entry. The customs official denied that the group was "detained" for 15 hours, noting that they were put on the first available flight back to Korea on the airline they traveled with.[1]
