On May 27, 2021, Kpop Live Entertainment released a video titled "Hi-L-하이엘 - Teaser" on the channel of their three-member girl group, XUM. In the video description, they later clarified that Hi-L would be a brand new six-member girl group under the company instead of a rebranding of XUM. On June 1, SNS accounts for Hi-L were opened and revealed the six members, consisting of Lee Jin, Soo Jung, Da-Kyung, Joo A, Ha Yun, and Ye Seul.
Their debut was initially scheduled and reported to take place in July 2021.

On November 16, Hi-L released a dance practice video for "Beautiful Night", a song from their mini album Go High.
