Puretty (Korean: 퓨리티, Japanese: ピュリティ, stylized as PURETTY) was a South Korean project girl group formed by DSP Media in 2012. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "pure" and "pretty". The group debuted in August in Japan with the song "Cheki☆Love" which was used as a soundtrack for the anime titled Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future.

They were also plans for the group to make their Korean debut later on.[1] On 14 January 2014, DSP Media announced that the group had been disbanded with the possibility of its members debuting into other new groups in the future.[2]
