History

Pre-debut

Prior to the group's debut, various members already had some experience in the entertainment industry. Yunji had appeared in the fifth season of talent show series Superstar K in 2013,[1] and later appeared in the first season of reality television talent show Produce 101 in 2015 along with future band-mate Sihyeon.[2] Yunji and Sihyeon were set to debut in the girl group OMZM with other members,[3][4] however, the group's debut was postponed and their fancafe was later temporarily closed.[5][6] Sihyeon sang "Wonderful Day (오늘 같은 날)" for the soundtrack of the drama Fantastic in 2016.[7]

Prior to Ariaz, Hyogyeong had released numerous songs as a soloist, including some using the stage name Mugayeong (머가영).[citation needed] Hyogyeong also represented Star Empire Entertainment in the survival reality show Mix Nine in 2017.[2] Yunji, Sihyeon, Hyogyeong and Yeori had been backup dancers before their debut, for groups such as Jewelry, ZE:A, Nine Muses and Imfact.[citation needed] Dawon appeared in an episode of episode of I Can See Your Voice in early 2019, performing I.O.I's song "Downpour" along with Hong Juhyeon and Im Doyeon.[8]

The group was briefly known as Empire Girls (Korean: 엠파이어 걸스) prior to their debut.[9] A three-episode variety show, Empire Girls at the MT, aired before their debut. The show was a bonding experience for the members, and showcased their teamwork.[citation needed]

2019: Debut with Grand Opera

On September 16, Rising Star Entertainment, a subsidiary of Star Empire Entertainment, released a statement to announce that Empire Girls would be debuting under the name Ariaz in October.[2]

Various teasers were released for the EP,[10] and Grand Opera was released on October 24, along with its lead single "Moonlight Aria" and its accompanying music video. The EP is the first in a trilogy the group aim to release.[11] Their debut showcase was held the same day at the Ilji Art Hall in Gangnam, Seoul.[11]
