On February 27, 2022, LPA Entertainment posted the group logo for Angel Rus on their Instagram, officially announcing the group. In March 2022, LPA Entertainment's CEO revealed that the group will consist of seven members including three Korean members, one Hong Kong member, and one Taiwanese member, with an additional Korean member and a Japanese member being added later. They also announced that they will start their activities in June 2022 and debut on March 2023.
On March 19, 2022, Angel Rus made their first ever public appearance as special guest on DUSTIN's untact concert, which they officially introduced five of the members. On April 3, Angel Rus revealed their fandom name, Guardian. On April 6, Angel Rus revealed a Japanese-American new member, Christina.
Two days later, they revealed another Japanese new member, Kira. On May 8, LPA Entertainment announced that Ulin has discontinued her group activities and went on hiatus as a member of Angel Rus, while still being signed under the agency. On May 23, Angel Rus revealed a Moroccan member, Emma and simultaneously confirmed Ulin's removal from the group as they called Emma their seventh member.
On June 20, LPA Entertainment announced that Ellie has been removed from the group due to personal circumstances. On July 11, it was announced that the group's debut has been pushed forward to November 2022. On August 4, LPA Entertainment's CEO announced that Angel Rus would be going on a hiatus for the time being.
All their SNS accounts were also deleted on the same day. On August 21, it was reported that LPA Entertainment's CEO was investigated by the police. His computer and cell phone were raided by the police for having compromising photos of female trainees which were taken and sent to the CEO upon his request.
Text logs between the CEO and a Taiwanese trainee were exposed by the news article, wherein the CEO coerced the trainee into sending him full-body photos of herself in just underwear on every Tuesday. The company's representative had responded by claiming that it was done with the trainee's consent to shorten the preparation time for the group's debut. This has left the current status of Angel Rus unknown.
In October 2022, it was revealed that LPA Entertainment has rebranded as Namoo Entertainment with Ayo and Kira still being under the agency. It was then assumed that Angel Rus had disbanded due to the exclusion of their group name from the company's new SNS account.
