Source-derived summary

Classy (; Korean: 클라씨; RR: Keullassi; stylized as CLASSy or formerly CLASS:y) is a South Korean girl group formed through the MBC reality competition show My Teenage Girl. The group consists of seven members: Won Ji-min, Kim Seon-you, Myung Hyung-seo, Hong Hye-ju, Kim Ri-won, Park Bo-eun, and Yoon Chae-won. They officially debuted on May 5, 2022, with the extended play (EP) Class Is Over.

Name

The group's name, Class:y, was suggested by the viewers of My Teenage Girl through the website Naver and chosen by M25. It was inspired by the members' "classy" charms and continued the school-related theme of My Teenage Girl, referencing "class" and "highest grade".

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “south Korean girl group” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111103138. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 2021 and 2023.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
