Glam (Hangul: 글램 "Geulraem") was a four (originally five) member girl group from South Korea. The group was formed by a collaboration between Big Hit Entertainment and Source Music. The group consisted of members Jiyeon Bak, Zinni Kim, Dahee Kim, Miso I and Trinity (Sujin Yun), who left due to personal reasons in December 2012. The group's name is an acronym for Girls be Ambitious.
After officially debuting, GLAM collaborated with label-mates 2AM and Lee Hyun. They featured on 2AM's Alone from their album Saint o'Clock, and Lee Hyun's single You Are Best of My Life. Prior to GLAM's debut, member Dahee voiced South Korea's first official Vocaloid, SeeU under Seoul Broadcasting System in both Korean and Japanese. GLAM's first publicized performance as a group was at Japan during the Nico Nico Chokaigi festival. On May 25, Big Hit Entertainment announced that the group would their debut on July 16 in collaboration with Source Music. A representative revealed, "GLAM is comprised of five members talented in singing, and dancing . The name means ‘Girls Be Ambitious’, and we hope that they’ll follow their name to produce ambitious, bright music." As a means to introduce the group to the public, GLAM had featured in their first reality show 'Real Music Drama: GLAM' which aired on SBS MTV from June 6 up until the group's official debut

Their second single was released on October 26, for the soundtrack of SBS's drama, Five Fingers. On December 24, Big Hit Entertainment released a public statement announcing that Trinity would be leaving GLAM due to personal reasons and announced she had no desire to be a celebrity, which caused rumours that it was due to her alleged past as a sasaeng fan of Super Junior member Leeteuk. Allegations included that she had posed as a CEO's daughter and the daughter of a producer in order to try to meet Leeteuk, and was known as "Cussing Granny" due to her aggressiveness and tendency towards swearing.
