On July 1, 2013, Sim Tong Entertainment released album jacket photos for their upcoming 2nd digital single, "Because of You".

It was also announced that GI was preparing for a comeback with the new member, and she would more than likely be taking over Aram's position as the main vocalist.
Member Hayun uploaded a photo on Twitter on June 19 showing the girls practicing, including a shot of two unknown girls, who fans presumed to be the new members, although they were met with strong criticism when fans noticed that they were lip-syncing during live performances.
[12][13] On June 29, SimTong Entertainment dropped individual videos to introduce the three new members: Do Kyung, Ji A-min & Hee So.
[15][16] On March 28, Eunji announced her departure from the group via a tweet that said: "Everyone who loved and supported GI, thank you so much, sincerely...
She was also a backup dancer for Blackpink's Jennie in "Solo", and choreographed PinkFantasy's "Fantasy" and "Playing House".
According to news reports, AI had obtained permission from SimTong to use the Global Icon name and revive the group.
