Career as a singer and the band EvoL
The South Korean record producer and rapper Cho Joong-hoon, announced in March 2012 that he would form a new girl group called EvoL. Most of the girls chosen as members of EvoL were already in the entertainment industry, as Say and J-da could have been seen in the music video “NanlinA” by Block B, while Song Kwanghee and Lee Dasom were members of the girl group Tahiti. Jucy, known as Juni.J, was a rapper, who had already released several solo songs.
The girls debuted on 10 August 2012 with the release of their extended play (EP) “Let Me Explode!”, made up of five songs, while they also released the music video for their single “We Are A Bit Different”.

Guyz how do u do~we miss u so so much..Thanks 4 waiting us. We’ll meet u r expectation soon’.
On 18 March 2013, the girls released several new songs which were part of their EP “Second Evolution”, released two days later. Jucy continued her solo career, as she released her mixtape in July 2013, and then competed in the reality TV show “Show Me The Money”, but was eliminated at the very start.
The girls didn’t perform until August 2015, and when rumors started circulating around the internet about EvoL’s disbandment, it was revealed that three members Yull, J-Da and Hayana had left EvoL which actually led to the disbandment of the group.
SAAY announced in March 2015 that she would start a solo project – “$aay Choreography”, and on 28 July 2017 launched her solo singing career, choosing the name ‘SAAY’ and releasing her debut digital single “Circle”, followed by her second single “THE ZONE” In May 2018 she released her debut solo album “CLAASSIC”, which was followed by her mixtape “Horizon: The Mixtape”.

Love life and boyfriend
SAAY hasn’t commented on any boys she might have dated, but there have been many rumors circulating the internet regarding those she might have been with since the launch of her singing career.
There are also rumors claiming that SAAY is a lesbian, because she is a big supporter of the LGBT community, and this combined with the fact that she hasn’t talked about any men has led a lot of people to believe that she is either lesbian or bisexual. Some have even claimed to have seen SAAY being rather too close to a girl at a party in Seoul, and that they were also seen kissing – SAAY hasn’t commented on this and her sexuality and her dating history remains a mystery.
