Where Is Brown Eyed Girls Now? Current Status of One of Best K-pop Vocal Groups

Known as one of the top K-pop vocal groups of all time, where are the Browned Eyed Girls members now?

Even before MAMAMOO, Spica, Red Velvet and more, Brown Eyed Girls (also known as B.E.G.) is indeed one of the top vocal groups in the music industry. They are also known as one of the groups launched by a small agency that laid the foundation for strengthening the status of female idols amid the influx of boy groups in the 2000s.

In particular, Brown Eyed Girls was launched in 2006 under the independent company Nega Network. To form the group, leader JeA personally picked the other members based on their top skills. Following the release of their debut track, "Come Closer" in the same year, B.E.G then started to attract more attention from K-pop enthusiasts when "How Come" dropped in 2008.

Their commercial success continued not until they dominated the entire K-pop scene with their "National Dance Craze" track, "Abracadabra" in 2019, and "Sixth Sense" in 2011. During their reign, B.E.G became iconic for their sultry and dark concept. They broke the pure and innocent stereotypes at that time.Where Is Brown Eyed Girls Now?
