History

In May 2020, comedian Yoo Jae-suk announced on his MBC variety show Hangout with Yoo that he plans to launch a co-ed singing group that summer.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=May 9, 2020|title='놀면 뭐하니?' 유재석, 혼성 댄스 그룹 내 포지션 찾기|url=https://www.hankyung.com/entertainment/article/202005090499I|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227082131/https://www.hankyung.com/entertainment/article/202005090499I|archive-date=December 27, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|website=The Korea Economic Daily|language=ko}} Later that month, singers Lee Hyo-ri and Rain joined Yoo's group, which they named SSAK3.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=June 1, 2020|title=유재석·비까지 휘어잡은 '카리스마 이효리'|url=https://www.donga.com/news/Entertainment/article/all/20200531/101295634/5|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227082107/https://www.donga.com/news/Entertainment/article/all/20200531/101295634/5|archive-date=December 27, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|website=The Dong-A Ilbo|language=ko}}{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=June 4, 2020|title=[공식]'놀면뭐하니?' 유재석X이효리X비, 그룹명 '싹쓰리'+부캐 확정…라이브 방송 10만명 시청|url=https://www.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2020/06/04/2020060402905.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227082107/https://www.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2020/06/04/2020060402905.html|archive-date=December 27, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|website=The Chosun Ilbo|language=ko}} The group debuted on July 25, performing their 90s-style single "Beach Again" on Show! Music Core. The song topped various South Korean real-time music charts, and was ranked number one on the Gaon Digital Chart for five consecutive weeks.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=August 27, 2020|title=싹쓰리 '다시 여기 바닷가' 가온차트 5주 연속 1위|url=https://www.mk.co.kr/star/musics/view/2020/08/881226/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200907174653/https://mk.co.kr/star/music/view/2020/08/881226/|archive-date=September 7, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|website=Star Today|language=ko}} The group also released "In The Summer", a cover of the 1994 song by Deux, and "Play That Summer", as well as three solo tracks, all of which performed well commercially.{{Cite web|last=Chang|first=Dong-woo|date=August 3, 2020|title=Reality TV K-pop act SSAK3 extends chart sweep with more releases|url=https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20200803007000315|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227082108/https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20200803007000315|archive-date=December 27, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|website=Yonhap News Agency|language=en}}

The group's success was criticized by some netizens and those in the music industry, claiming that SSAK3 had an unfair advantage because of the publicity they received from Hangout with Yoo, their ties with MBC and the fact that all three were well-known and established industry veterans.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=July 29, 2020|title='싹쓰리'가 음원차트 휩쓸자 불만 토로하는 중소기획사와 일부 누리꾼들|url=https://www.insight.co.kr/news/296213|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227082108/https://www.insight.co.kr/news/296213|archive-date=December 27, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|website=Insight|language=ko}} In response, MBC noted that all proceeds from SSAK3's album sales and promotions will be donated to charities.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=July 31, 2020|title=No joke: Reality TV K-pop act rocks music scene while raising questions of fairness|url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2020/09/398_293696.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227082109/http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2020/09/398_293696.html|archive-date=December 27, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|website=The Korea Times|language=en}}
