FLY TO THE SKY (Hwan Hee + Brian Joo) [Brian Joo Live In M'sia on 10 July 10]

jasmine

Fly to the Sky is a popular South Korean R&B duo. Its members are U.S.-born Brian Joo and South Korean native Fany (also known as Hwanhee.Since their debut in 1999 with the single Day by Day, they have enjoyed consistent success with hits including The Promise, Sea of Love, and Missing You. They are often credited as the first R&B duo of South Korea!!

The duo was formed in late 1998 by SM Entertainment. Brian auditioned while he was attending Holy Spirit High School in New Jersey, and Fany was encouraged to audition by a staff member working for the label at his high school festival. FTTS officially debuted on November 12, 1999 at the LOG-IN H.O.T. show and the SM Festival Concert '99.

They released their debut album Day by Day, not long after, on December 9, and made their first official television appearance two days later. Unlike their predecessors on their label, who were popular teen idols at that time, they shied away from upbeat techno dance music, and sang smooth mid-tempo ballads. They have achieved some degree of popularity within the U.S., China, Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea. While the album did not become an instant hit, the duo gained decent publicity, and acquired a status as the next-generation stars

2001-2004

After the release of their debut album, they consistently released new studio albums usually on an annual basis. Their popularity slowly climbed with the release of their sophomore album 약속 (The Promise), this time featuring more upbeat tracks. The album fared well in the charts.

In April 2001, their third album Sea of Love was released while Brian was in New Jersey attending Rutgers University. Until he returned to South Korea, Fany performed by himself. Sea of Love became another summer hit. The album also featured the second single Condition of my Heart, which was written by American R&B singer Brian McKnight. From this point on, their music and style began to mature and gradually lean closer towards R&B and away from bubblegum pop. This change gave them greater success, and an image as serious artists as their title song hit the #1 spot on many music programs.

Their popularity rose with the success of each album, Missing You (their fourth), and Gravity (their fifth and last album under SM Entertainment), both albums featuring heavy R&B music infused with pop. Although both albums were fairly successful, they were criticized for being very similar to each other, having a heavy focus on dramatic ballads that showed off their vocal skills.

During their career, Fly To The Sky have been awarded several accolades. These include MTV Asia's "Artist of the Month" in 1999, M.NET Music Video "Festival's Best R&B Artist" in 2003, and SBS Gayo Daejun's "Best R&B Artist" in 2004.

However, they have suffered hardships at times. Right before Fly To The Sky's comeback with their album "Missing You", their manager died in a car accident. On a Korean variety show both members recalled this incident as an emotionally hard time for them. Fany was especially shocked, because he was on the same van with his manager just hours before the incident.

Brian has also suffered from controversy in 2003 when he was misquoted during his radio interview. During this time, anti-American sentiment was very high due to the fact that an American soldier had murdered two teenage girls. He stated in the interview that while the American soldier should be brought to justice, he did not want relations between Korea and the United States, his home country, to become strained. What he said was reported as "Don't insult the United States, because I am an American."[1] He has denied this and said that he had a strict Korean upbringing, and that he was taught to speak Korean at home at all times.

The members of Fly To The Sky have also participated in business outside of the duo. This includes making use of Brian Joo's native English skills by having him conduct formal MTV (and other music channel) interviews with American pop celebrities. These singers include Mariah Carey, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
