☆ About SPICA ☆
Official fanclub name: Mercury
“Spica (Hangul: 스피카, stylized as SPICA) is a five-member South Korean girl group currently under B2M Entertainment. The group made their official debut in January 10, 2012, with their digital single ‘독하게’. The music video sparked high interest, as their fellow label-mate Lee Hyori made an appearance.
On January 31, 2012, B2M Entertainment officially announced that the group would have their formal debut with a mini album, titled ‘Russian Roulette’. A music video teaser for ‘Russian Roulette’ was released the following day. The full-length music video was released on February 7, 2012. Promotions for ‘Russian Roulette’ began two days later on M! Countdown.The lyrics of the song were later modified in order to meet MBC’s broadcasting standards.
The group released a repackaged EP titled Painkiller, on March 29, 2012, promoting the title track of the same name.
On the July 9 recording of July 14’s MBC Radio Younha’s Starry Night, member Bohyung revealed that the group “had a meeting today, we are going to prepare it [the new album] in late July and make comeback in August”. On July 16, it was announced by B2M Entertainment through the group’s fan cafe that their official fanclub name is Mercury (Hangul: 머큐리). A poll had been created to determine the name of the fanclub, using various suggestions from the fans, and the name Mercury won. Furthermore, the leader of the group, Boa tweeted simply “머큐리!!” on the same day.”
