The Legendary Girl Group, Brown Eyed Girls!
Brown Eyed Girls (브라운 아이드 걸스) or B.E.G is a South Korean girl group that contains of 4 members: JeA, Miryo, Narsha, and Ga-In. On October 2015, all of the members left their previous agency Nega Network, and signed with Mystic Entertainment. The group debuted on March 2, 2006, as an R&B/Ballad vocal group with “Come Closer (다가와서)” and have since challenged themselves with a notable variety of different music genres.
The group’s leader, Jea, was the one responsible of the group’s creation and was actively involved in the selection of the other members. Jea picked Miryo who was known as a great female rapper from the hip-hop community, Narsha who was known as a talented singer from her high school days, and lastly Ga-In who was selected by the three members after she was eliminated from Battle Shin Hwa.
They spent more than 3 years of training in singing and holding several small size concerts. The group was known as the “faceless group” because they did not appear on any visual media and chose to not even appear in their own music video. Then they finally rose to popularity in the K-pop world in 2009 with Abracadabra, with its electronica-based genre along with its iconic dance entitled ‘The Arrogant Dance’.
