Autumn Vacation () was a South Korean indie pop duo consisting of Bobby Chung and Gyepy. Established in 2009, the group produced four studio albums: Autumn Vacation (2010), Clarity (선명) (2013), The Third Season (세번째 계절) (2015), and The World Is Like a Handkerchief (세상은 한 장의 손수건) (2020). After allegations surfaced against Bobby Chung in 2020, the duo halted their activities and officially dissolved in 2021.
Career
Formed in 2009, Autumn Vacation brought together Bobby Chung—previously associated with Onnine Ibalgwan and Julia Hart—and Gyepy, who had been part of Broccoli, You Too?. The partnership began when Bobby Chung shared a demo recording with Gyepy. Their first album, titled Autumn Vacation, was launched in 2010 and achieved sales close to 20,000 copies. In March 2013, they made an appearance on Inkigayo.
The duo’s sophomore album, Clarity (선명), was released in 2013, followed by a solo concert that December. In 2015, they presented The Third Season (세번째 계절), an album that garnered positive reviews and earned a nomination for Best Pop Album at the 2016 Korean Music Awards.
In 2017, Autumn Vacation issued a compilation album named Heart Collection (마음집), which compiled their earlier singles. Their fourth studio effort, The World Is Like a Handkerchief, arrived in 2020 and was noted for its polished production quality.
Towards the end of 2020, Bobby Chung became subject to police inquiries concerning accusations of assault and illicit filming, allegations he denied. Subsequently, the group announced their disbandment in March 2021 due to personal circumstances. Gyepy conveyed her wish that Autumn Vacation would continue to hold a special place in the hearts of their audience.
