About
- Name origin
- The name Fly to the Sky expresses a passionate challenge toward future dreams and ideals, reaching upward for what lies ahead.
- Formation
- Brian Joo, a Korean-American auditioned in New Jersey, and Hwanhee, scouted at a high school festival in Seoul, were paired by SM Entertainment and debuted on November 21, 1999 with the album Day by Day. After leaving SM in 2004 and moving to PFull Entertainment, the duo signed with H2 Media in 2014 for their comeback after a five-year hiatus.
- Why fans love them
- Fans love Fly to the Sky as Korea's pioneering R&B duo, built on Hwanhee's powerful, soulful voice against Brian's softer tone and their close, soaring harmonies. Their run of early-2000s hits became karaoke and nostalgia staples, and their 2026 reunion tour, the first solo nationwide tour in eight years, drew fans who had waited years to see the pair on stage together again.
