AboutThe Brown Eyed Girls [Korean: 브라운 아이드 걸스] are a South Korean girl group managed by Nega-Network [Korean: 내가네트워크]. The group consists of four members: Jea [Kim, Hyo Jin], Ga-in [Son, Ga-in], Narsha [Park, Hyo Jin] and Miryo [Cho, Mihyea]. Since debuting in 2006, the group has risen to popularity through a number of hit singles beginning with 2008's L.O.V.E.
History
Volume 1: Your Story and Volume 2: 떠나라 미스김
In February 2006, the Brown Eyed Girls released their debut album Your Story in South Korea. The album was well-received critically, but did not do as well as expected commercially. However, it did spawn their hit debut single 다가와서, which became a minor hit throughout Korea. The album was later re-released to include Hold The Line [which samples Push The Button by British girl band Sugababes and Technologic by Daft Punk]. This song also became a hit, further boosting the band's popularity.
After a short break, the group went back into the studio to work on their sophomore album 떠나라 미스김, which included the single 너에게 속았다 ["You Got Me Fooled"]. Subsequent singles were 오아시스 featuring Lee Jae Hoon and 내꺼야, a collaboration with fellow Korean girl group SeeYa.
During the break between their debut and sophomore albums, the Brown Eyed Girls released their first digital single entitled 내가 여름이다, which was later included in their sophomore LP.
With Love and My Style mini-albums
In January 2008, the group released their first mini-album With Love. The first single taken from the mini-album was L.O.V.E., which became an instant hit in South Korea, making the girls a household name. Love Action was the second single taken from the mini-album and was another hit for the group. With Love also marked the group's second digital album [after 내가 여름이다], though it was released in conventional CD format as well.
In September 2008, the Brown Eyed Girls released their second mini-album in My Style. Their new single "어쩌다" ["How Come"] became their biggest hit yet, topping many music charts. After promotion for "어쩌다" ended, they released the 3-track follow-up "My Hidden Style", which included the single "My Style", a remake of their hit L.O.V.E.
Both "My Style" and "어쩌다" garnered great success, cementing the Brown Eyed Girls' status as one of the most popular groups in Korea.
Other Musical Efforts
The girls have also been featured on several South Korean Drama soundtracks. Including 포도밭 그 사나이 [song Loving You], 게임의 여왕 [song 독 한사랑] and 대조영 [song 대조영].
Miryo was also featured in fellow labelmate group, Flying Girls as a rapper.
Volume 3: Sound G
On July 20th, 2009, the Brown Eyed Girls released their third full-length album, the double-disc Sound G. Though "Candy Man" was the first song unveiled from the new album, the first single that was heavily promoted was "Abracadabra". The release of this album also saw a shift in the image of the group, as the members redefined themselves as independent and mature city girls, as opposed to the cuter image portrayed by many other K-Pop groups.
The release of the "Abracadabra" music video has sparked a lot of controversy. As the group is sporting a substantially more provocative visual style, criticism has arisen for the suggestive and erotic themes that the video presents. They later released a Stage version of the song that is just the dance.
