2Yoon

2Yoon (Hangul: 투윤, commonly stylized as 2YOON) is the first sub-group of South Korean girl group 4Minute, formed by Cube Entertainment in 2013. The sub-group consists of Gayoon and Jiyoon.

History

Gayoon and Jiyoon are the lead singers and sole members of 4Minute. Cube Entertainment CEO Hong Seung Sung wanted to pair them in a sub-group after watching the duo perform live at the 2011 United Cube in London.

The duo were known to fans collectively as Ssangyoon (Hangul: 쌍윤) (a portmanteau of the Hangul word for "twins" and the last characters of their given name "yoon"). However, as the pronunciation of "Ssangyoon" involves a tensed consonant, it was deemed to be ill-fitting for the group's cute image. As such, the sub-unit was renamed as 2Yoon. In addition, "ssangyoon" could be potentially misheard as a profanity, further supporting the basis for the name change.

2Yoon appeared on MBC's Weekly Idol as Ssangyoon, since the show was recorded before the official name change.

Career

On January 7, 2013, Cube Entertainment announced that 2Yoon debut album, Harvest Moon, was slated for a mid-January release, with "24/7" confirmed as the title track. On January 22, 2013, 2YOON released its album and accompanying music video for "24/7". 2Yoon made its television debut on M! Countdown on January 18, 2013.

Song

A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert performances. Songs are performed live and recorded. Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.
