Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 It's unclear if Luney officially departed from the group as she still keeps Red Mint in her username and interacts with the group's posts on Instagram. However, she has been absent from the group's activities and their official Instagram account no longer follows her so it can be assumed that she had left the group.

- ↑ Anna went by the stage name Haru (하루) from 2018-2019.
