SUGAR (2) (슈가) was a 4 member moderately successful girl pop group originating from South Korea.

Then soon afterwards Jung Eum, a member of Sugar decided to leave the group after their mini album Secret was released. Replacing her with Haleen, SUGAR moved on to release two more singles and their sophomore Japanese album. Then moving back to their roots SUGAR released their 3rd Korean album Sweet Lips one year after their mini album. Yet after this release Soo Jin announced that she would also be leaving SUGAR to concentrate on an acting career. With the release of SUGAR's sophomore Japanese album COLORS 4 WISHES, each member decided to be a solo musician.
