On September 23, their third single album My First Love was released.[15] Two music videos were produced for the lead single, one which features actress Kim Bo-ra. The song, posthumous work of composer Joo Tae-young, was first performed in advance on September 20 at Hallyu Dream Concert,[16][17] and promotions started on the 22nd on SBS MTV The Show.[18]
On March 11, 2016, Berry Good launched a crowdfunding campaign to produce their first EP on Makestar. The ₩10 million goal was reached in ten days.[19][20] On April 20, they released the crowdfunded mini-album Very Berry, lead by title track "Angel".[21]
