Tiny-G (Korean: 타이니지) was a Korean K-pop group based in South Korea, formed in 2012 by GNG Production and disbanded in 2015. The group originally consisted of J. Min, Dohee, Mint, and Myungji,[1][2] but their final line-up was the duo of J. Min and Dohee.

History

The group appeared on MBC's show Show Champion on April 24, 2012, [3] and performed the track "Polaris" with singer Jay Park and actress Lee Si-young. The instrumentation was composed and produced by Cha Cha Malone and Jay Park. The song was released on May 5[4] after "Music & Lyrics" was broadcast.[5]

Their debut single "Tiny-G",[6] with which they made their debut on M! Countdown, was released on August 23, 2012. The group released their second single, "Minimanimo", on January 20, 2013.

On March 12, 2014, Dohee and J. Min performed an OST for the drama Cunning Single Lady titled "Mirror Mirror". On June 26, GNG Production announced that Myungji had left the band to focus on her acting career. Tiny-G came back as a trio on July 3 with the song "Ice Baby".[7][8] The sub-unit released their first single, "The Only One", featuring Thai artist Natthew. The music video was released November 25 and featured appearances by Natthew and Tiny-G member Dohee.[9][10]
