The group saw success throughout their career, charting not only on Korean music charts but also hitting the top ten of Billboard’s World Music Chart with several tracks.
Following the release of their seventh mini album, member L.Joe, now known as Lee Byung Hun departed from the group, citing restrictions on his solo career. The group continued as five until Chunji began his mandatory enlistment in 2020.
Fans were thrilled to learn they would release a new album this year, though former leader C.A.P‘s controversial behavior during a broadcast would lead to his departure from the group. Their newest album, 4Sho, was released on July 4th.
July 9, 2023, marked their 13th anniversary, with all the remaining members still in their 20s! Chunji is the oldest current member at 29, while Changjo is 27.
