# Weki Meki (위키미키)
**Weki Meki** (위키미키) was an eight-member South Korean girl group formed by the Seoul-based entertainment company [Fantagio](https://www.edgepedia.org/fantagio), active from their debut on August 8, 2017 until their disbandment in 2024.[1](https://dbkpop.com/group/weki-meki/) • [2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/weki-meki-mn0003660782) The group worked in a bright, flashy pop mode similar to contemporaries such as AOA and WJSN, blending rapid-fire hooks with rap and dance music, and drew early attention because four of its members had competed on the survival show *Produce 101 Season 1*, two of whom, Yoojung and Doyeon, had also debuted in the project group I.O.I.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/weki-meki-mn0003660782) • [1](https://dbkpop.com/group/weki-meki/)

## Origins and debut
While the members were trainees, Fantagio code-named the project "i-Teen Girls"; after four members appeared on *Produce 101 Season 1* and the I.O.I promotion period ended, the company announced the official group name Weki Meki in July 2017.[5](https://produce101.fandom.com/wiki/Weki_Meki) The lineup combined two former I.O.I members, Doyeon (도연) and Yoojung (유정), with fellow [Produce 101](https://www.edgepedia.org/produce-101) contestants Elly (엘리) and Sei (세이), plus Suyeon (수연), Rina (리나), Lua (루아), and Lucy (루시).[1](https://dbkpop.com/group/weki-meki/)
The group debuted on August 8, 2017, releasing the digital tracks at 6 p.m. that day and holding a debut showcase at 8 p.m. at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul's Jung District.[6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd1DO2xqasc) The debut EP *WEME* contained six tracks, including the title song "I Don't Like Your Girlfriend", a pop and hip-hop blend with a half-rapped delivery, alongside B-sides such as "Stay With Me" and "Neverland".[7](https://wekimeki.fandom.com/wiki/I_Don%27t_Like_Your_Girlfriend) • [3](https://www.newspim.com/news/view/20170808000212) *WEME* entered the Gaon chart at number seven.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/weki-meki-mn0003660782)
## 2018 and the Lucky era
The follow-up EP *Lucky*, released in early 2018, reached number two on the Gaon chart, the group's highest placement.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/weki-meki-mn0003660782) Its closing track, "Butterfly", a cover of a 2009 song, was used to promote the 2018 Winter Olympics hosted by South Korea that year.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/weki-meki-mn0003660782) In October 2018 the group released the single album *Kiss, Kicks*, after which they remained relatively quiet until May 2019.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/weki-meki-mn0003660782)
## Picky Picky and later releases
The single album *Lock End LOL* arrived in May 2019 with the lead song "Picky Picky", which became the song most associated with the group.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/weki-meki-mn0003660782) • [4](https://kpopdiscover.com/en/groups/weki-meki/) A reissue, *Week End LOL*, followed a few months later.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/weki-meki-mn0003660782) At the comeback showcase, member Lua, the group's sub-vocalist, explained that the "school crush" concept of the album developed from the group's original "teen crush" positioning and focused the music video narrative on high school; the members appeared in bright neon clothes with dyed blonde or orange hair, a change from the group's previous "girl crush" concept.[8](https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/entertainment/20190515/weki-meki-drops-new-album-in-bad-timing) The Korea Times reported that the album received mixed responses from listeners.[8](https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/entertainment/20190515/weki-meki-drops-new-album-in-bad-timing)
Later releases included the third mini album *Hide and Seek* (2019), the fourth mini album *New Rules* (2020) with the title track "Cool", and the fifth mini album *I AM ME.* (2021).[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/weki-meki-mn0003660782) • [9](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHikmx0eVXM) Retrospective coverage names "Crush", "Tiki-Taka", "Dazzle Dazzle", "Cool", "Oopsy", and "Siesta" among the group's representative title tracks.[4](https://kpopdiscover.com/en/groups/weki-meki/)
**Member activity.** In September 2022, Choi Yoojung released the solo single album *Sunflower* (선플라워), her first solo work six years after her 2016 debut with I.O.I. The three-track release included the title song "Sunflower", "Tip Tip Toes", and "OWL"; the title track is a pop-R&B song comparing shining youth to a sunflower in full bloom.[10](https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20220914117400005)
