Brown Eyes (Korean: 브라운아이즈) was a South Korean singing duo that debuted in 2001.[1] They are considered one of South Korea's most important R&B groups, given their immense commercial success.[2][3]
Despite having no television appearances, Brown Eyes managed to have record sales of 640,000 and 618,026 for their first and second albums, respectively.[2]
In May 2002, Brown Eyes performed the Korean version of the Official Anthem along with Lena Park for the 2002 FIFA World Cup held in South Korea and Japan.[4]
In the midst of their popularity, Brown Eyes announced their official disbandment in April 2003. However, after five years, they got back together for a third album Two Things Needed For The Same Purpose And 5 Objects in 2008.[2]
After leaving Brown Eyes in 2003, Yoon Gun went solo and released a self-titled album that same year.[5] Yoon Gun has also branched out to do collaborations with artists such as Seohyun of Girls' Generation and Hyori.[6][7] In 2012, Yoon Gun joined Sony Music and released his solo album "Far East 2 Bricklane" on October 18.[8][9] He replaced PSY as a judge on the 4th season of Superstar K as PSY was unable to continue due to promotional activities abroad.[10]
In 2003 after the disbandment of Brown Eyes, Naul formed a separate group Brown Eyed Soul with three other members Jungyup, Young Jun, and Sang Hoon.[11]
