FLY TO THE SKY, was created by their producer Soo Man Lee (Creater of S.M. Entertainment)
Before their first album release, *FLY TO THE SKY debuted at the S.M. Festival Concert,
and the LOG-IN H.O.T. SHOW.
Ever since then, they captured the hearts of young female fans all over the world.
In less then a year of their debut, *FLY TO THE SKY has gained global stardom in Korea,
Taiwan, Singapore, China, and some parts of the US.
In there first month of album sales and performances,
they obtained the title of ?Artist of the Month? in January for MTV Asia.
Fly to the Sky (FTTS) also were on MTV's Hot Seat for one month
And always ranked within the top 5 with Fly to the Sky (FTTS), I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye, and Beautiful Girl.
At this point, they both knew that there was no turning back. All Fly to the Sky (FTTS)
could do was keep on going and working their way up.
Initially marketed as an attractive-looking duo that can sing, rap, and dance,
Fly to the Sky bore heavy resemblance to teen idols in its early years
The duo later changed their image and style with the release of Sea of Love in 2002.
With their subsequent albums, the duo solidified their status
as R&B artists and are credited as the first R&B duo of South Korea
Fany was encouraged to audition by a staff member working for the label at his high school festival
Brian Joo auditioned while he was attending Holy Spirit High School in New Jersey
and made their first official television appearance two days later.
Unlike their predecessors on their label, popular teen idols at that time,
they shied away from upbeat techno and dance music, opting for mid-tempo ballads.
The debut became highly successful selling over 250,000 copies.
The duo acquired status as the next-generation stars as they won Best New Artist award in 2000.
At the same time, the duo failed to rise to instant stardom unlike
their predecessors such as H.O.T., whose album sales have passed the one million mark
Their popularity slowly climbed with the release of their sophomore album The Promise in 2001,
which featured more diverse genres than its predecessor.
With more upbeat tracks, it peaked at #2, but quickly disappeared from the charts.
In April 2002, their third album Sea of Love was released while Brian was in New Jersey attending Rutgers University
As a result, Fany began to perform by himself until Brian returned to Korea.
The lead single from the album was the title track, a poppy ballad, and it became a summer hit.
Their sophomore single "Condition of my Heart" was written by American singer Brian McKnight
Their 2003 studio album Missing You featured more tracks that drastically departed from bubblegum music
and emphasized their vocal skills for an image as serious artists.
Performing commercially well, the album gave the duo many awards
including "Bonsang" award from SBS Gayo Daejun and Korea Music Awards
In November 2004, the duo released their fifth and last studio album under SM Entertainment, Gravity.
The album received little promotion, and became the duo's lowest-selling studio album, selling just below 90,000 copies.
Nevertheless, they held their first official concert successfully in Jamsil Arena on December 21, 2004,
and received "Best R&B Artist" award from SBS Gayo Daejun
A controversy rose as critics questioned their eligibility for the award, because the album was released only two months before the show.
They challenged the credibility and fairness of SBS Gayo Daejun
in its entirety as the artists who boycotted SBS such as YG Family
or those who were not present did not receive any awards.
They scorned the show as "a party for only those who were present."
The release of their Greatest hits album Eternity in 2005 coincided with the release of the soundtrack
of Korean drama Fashion 70s which featured the duo.
After Fly to the Sky's contract with SM Entertainment expired in November 2004,
to the Sky signed on with PFull Entertainment. The duo stated that they wanted a smaller label that
was willing to promote them as musicians and focus less on commercial success.
Under this label, Fly to the Sky released their sixth studio album Transition after a year-long hiatus in January 2006.
\ The album became massively successful, selling over 180,000 copies.
The duo embarked on their first nationwide tour, "Fly To The Sky: 2006 The Twice Tour".
Starting from Jamsil Arena in Seoul in May 2006, they held concerts in Busan, Daegu, Junju, and Kwangju.
Including the number of audiences in the encore concert in Seoul,
the tour garnered more than 50,000 people, a high number by Korean standards
To commemorate the success of Transition, Fly To The Sky released
a special new edition, which included music videos, deleted scenes and
the additional tracks "Hwan Sang (Illusion)," "Hot and Cold," and "When I Say."
In 2004 and 2005, the duo's uncertain future after their contract with SM Entertainment
led to a speculation that they would disband.
Brian publicly addressed the rumours and clarified that Fly to the Sky was not disbanding.
He admitted to experiencing differences in the early years on the SBS show "Yah Shim Man Man,"
which aired on July 10. He confessed that he had been troubled by feelings of inferiority to Fany,
because he received more attention and praise than him.
Despite their status as a duo, Brian felt that he was not given his due or the same amount of attention as Fany.
Eventually he found this difficult to bear, and suggested to Fany that they pursue their separate paths.
Fany responded angrily and the matter escalated into a serious fight nearly leading to disbandment
The two reconciled soon after, growing to better understand each other and realizing that they both needed each other.
Afterwards, the pair decided to try to better understand each other in order to solve their
problems together and to support each other. After reflecting on this incident, Brian's eyes were brimming with tears.
Since 2006, the duo has been seen frequently on variety shows and pursued individual careers.
Fany appeared on Korean television drama "Over the Rainbow" during summer of 2006
and Brian plans to release his solo album The Brian in December 2006.
As they appeared more oftenly on non-music programs, the duo saw an increase in their popularity
and backlash from critics at the same time as they felt the duo were compromising their image as artists
