Baby V.O.X Re.V was a South Korean girl group that debuted in 2007 under DR Music. The group was marketed as being the "second generation" of girl group Baby V.O.X.[1]
On December 6, 2006, DR Music announced that, based on the results of an online poll of the public, it planned to debut the "second generation" of the label's disbanded girl group Baby V.O.X. The name "Baby V.O.X Re.V" was selected as the new group's name by the public. Later that month, the label unveiled the new group's five members: An Jin-kyoung, Yang Eun-ji, Hwang Yeon-kyoung, Han Ae-ri, and Myung Sa-rang.[2] In January, the group held showcases in Mongolia, China, and Thailand to promote their upcoming debut album.[3]
Baby V.O.X Re.V debuted on January 28, 2007, with the album Ogamusegyeong (; stylized 오(五).가(哥).무(舞).세(世).경(炅)) and its lead single "Shee."
On August 1, DR Music announced that Sa-rang would leave the group in order to focus on her studies.[4] On November 6, during a press conference in Bangkok, it was revealed that Ae-ri had left the group for personal reasons.[5] At the same press conference, two new group members were announced: Oh Min-jin and Park So-ri.
After being appointed public relations ambassadors for the South Korean military, Baby V.O.X Re.V traveled to the Middle East to perform for troops stationed in Iraq and Kuwait on November 26 and 28, respectively.[6] The group continued its international promotions with a solo concert in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on December 14.[7]
The group released its second album, Baby VOX, on July 15, 2008. Its lead single "I Believe", is a cover of a song by Thai singer Tata Young.[8] While promoting the album, the group went by the name Baby V.O.X, rather than Baby V.O.X Re.V.[9]
Following the departure of Eun-ji at the end of 2008, the group announced on June 23, 2009, that it would suspend activities.[10]
