**El7z Up** (Korean: 엘즈업; RR: *Eljeueob*; stylized in [all caps](/source/All_caps) or formally as **EL7Z U+P[1]**) is a South Korean female [supergroup](/source/Supergroup_(music)) project formed through the [Mnet](/source/Mnet_(TV_channel)) reality competition show *[Queendom Puzzle](/source/Queendom_Puzzle)*. The group is managed by Apple Monster and DG Entertainment, and consists of seven members: [Kei](/source/Kei_(singer)) from [Lovelyz](/source/Lovelyz), [Yeeun](/source/Jang_Ye-eun) from [CLC](/source/CLC_(group)), Yeoreum from [WJSN](/source/WJSN), Yeonhee from [Rocket Punch](/source/Rocket_Punch), [Nana](/source/Nana_(entertainer,_born_2001)) from [Wooah](/source/Wooah), Hwiseo from [H1-Key](/source/H1-Key), and Yuki from [Purple Kiss](/source/Purple_Kiss).

## Name

The group's name, El7z Up, is the word "Puzzle" spelled backwards, with the number "7" representing the number of members in the group and replacing one of the "z".[3] The name represents "the best seven members the audience 'puzzled' out".[4]

## History

### Pre-debut: Background and formation through *Queendom Puzzle*

[Kei](/source/Kei_(singer)) debuted as a member of [Lovelyz](/source/Lovelyz) in 2014, [Yeeun](/source/Jang_Ye-eun) debuted as a member of [CLC](/source/CLC_(group)) in 2015, both of whom also debuted as soloists in 2019 and 2023 respectively. Yeoreum debuted as a member of [WJSN](/source/WJSN) in 2016 and as a member of WJSN's first subunit WJSN Chocome in 2020. Yeonhee debuted as a member of [Rocket Punch](/source/Rocket_Punch) in 2019.

Hwiseo debuted as a member of [H1-Key](/source/H1-Key) in 2022.

El7z Up was formed through the reality competition show *Queendom Puzzle*, which aired from June 13 to August 15, 2023. The show brought together twenty-eight active female idols to form a supergroup consisting of seven members. On July 25, during the seventh episode, the name of the group was revealed.[5] During the finale, the final seven members of the group were announced, along with the aim of a September debut later that year.[6]

Before appearing on the show, Kei participated in the first season of the show's legacy series *[Queendom](/source/Queendom_(TV_series))* as part of her group Lovelyz.[7] Yeoreum also participated in the second season as part of her group WJSN, where they finished in first place.[8]

### 2023–present: Debut with *7+Up*, and 2023 MAMA Awards

On September 14, 2023, El7z Up made their debut with the EP *[7+Up](/source/7%2BUp)*, along with its lead single "Cheeky".[2] The group held their first concert in Japan titled "Piece Up", taking place in Saitama at [Omiya Sonic City](/source/Omiya_Sonic_City) on October 22, in Osaka at [Grand Cube Osaka](/source/Grand_Cube_Osaka) on October 24, and in Tokyo at Tachikawa Stage Garden on November 26.[9][10] On November 29, El7z Up appeared and performed at the [2023 MAMA Awards](/source/2023_MAMA_Awards).[11]

On December 5, 2023, it was reported that El7z Up will be releasing a new album in early 2024.[12] Subsequent reports on February 26, 2024, indicated release date set in May.[13] The group was also scheduled to perform a new song from the album at [KCON](/source/KCON_(music_festival)) Japan 2024.[14] However, both their appearance at KCON and the album release were ultimately cancelled.[14] By October 2024, there had yet to be any plan for further group activity.[15]
