Bestie (Hangul: 베스티, stylized as BESTie) is a four-member South Korean girl group under YNB Entertainment. They made their official debut with "Pitapat" on July 11, 2013.

Hyeyeon, UJi and Haeryung originally debuted in AB Entertainment's girl group EXID. With EXID, they released their debut single "Holla" ("Whoz That Girl"). The three members promoted with the group for about two months, then ultimately took their leave for personal reasons. Member Haeryung started acting at a young age: her first roles were in the television series Sharp and Magic Kid Masuri at age 10. In spring 2013, she played the role of Park Hyung-sik's girlfriend in the tvN drama Nine: Nine Time Travels.

Bestie debuted on July 11, 2013, with the release of "Pitapat". The song's accompanying music video starred Jo Kwon and Yoo Se-yoon. The group held their debut live performance on KBS Music Bank on July 12. On October 16, Bestie returned with their second single album "Love Options" (연애의 조건), with a music video; their comeback stage was held the same day on Mnet's M! Countdown.

On December 12, it was announced that Bestie would be releasing "Zzang Christmas", a Christmas themed digital single, on December 17.

On February 28, 2014, Bestie's fourth single album, "Thank U Very Much", was digitally released, along with an accompanying music video.

On June 27, Bestie, together with AOA's Jimin, Choa, Chanmi and Hyejeong, and Girl's Day, covered a special performance of Girls' Generation's "Mr.Mr." on Music Bank. On July 11, Bestie released a fifth digital single entitled "Like a Star", as a celebration for their one-year anniversary.
