Homme (duo)
South Korean musical duo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Homme (Korean: 옴므) was a South Korean musical duo. The duo was composed of Lee Hyun and Lee Chang-min.[1]
Musical career
The duo consisted of 2AM's Lee Chang-min and 8Eight's Lee Hyun and was formed as a project group in 2010, with the release of their first digital single "I Was Able to Eat Well."[2] The song was the signature debut project for the 2010 Mnet 20's Choice Awards by producer Bang Si-hyuk (aka 'Hitman Bang'),[3] and was listed as the second most popular by Gaon in mobile ringtone sales in 2010.[4] On their first anniversary, in July 2011, they released it as part of a single album titled Homme,[3] and again as part of an EP titled Pour les femmes in 2014.[5] They performed the song, which won Best Ballad Song at the "1st Korea Music Copyright Awards" ceremony hosted by the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) in December 2011.[6][7]
"I Was Able to Eat Well" also received attention in 2011 when Korea's Youth Protection Committee (YPC) banned it for those under 19 for lyrics which included, "I’ll drink heavily with my friends to forget everything" and "Blub, blub, blub after I drank heavily yesterday."[8]
Other singles the duo has released include "Man Should Laugh" (2011), "It Girl" (2014), and "Let's Not Cry" (2015), which preceded their October concert series Hommexit in Seoul.[2] Also in 2015, they released another single "Ain't No Love."[9]
In March 2016, they held a concert titled The Homme's Love at Yonsei University in celebration of White Day.[9]
On February 1, 2018, BigHit Entertainment announced that Lee Chang-min would be leaving the agency to establish his own one-man agency after his exclusive contract came to an end in January.[10][11]
