LUV (; ) was a South Korean K-pop girl group established by SidusHQ, composed of members Jo Eun-byul, Jeon Hye-bin, and Oh Haet-nim (who later adopted the stage name Oh Yeon-seo). The acronym "LUV" represents "Love your Voice," symbolizing their emphasis on embracing oneself.[1]
2002: Introduction
Before their official debut, LUV contributed vocals to JTL's track "A Better Day." They made their debut with the widely promoted single "Orange Girl." Their next release, "I Still Believe in You," was accompanied by a music video. Their first album, Story, was released on May 15, 2002. In August, they performed the song "Tears" at a military event alongside well-known acts such as S.E.S. and Fin.K.L.. The group garnered attention for their promising talent and drew frequent comparisons to S.E.S.[2]
2003: Group Dissolution
Although enjoying a dedicated fanbase and moderate achievements, LUV disbanded after approximately one year as the members opted to pursue solo endeavors. Jeon Hye-bin embarked on a solo singing career and acting roles, building on her experience with the group. Oh Yeon-seo shifted her focus toward acting, while Jo Eun-byul dedicated herself to musical theater performances in Daehangno and collaborated again with JTL in 2005. Under the name LeeBie (), Eun-byul released a solo mini-album titled 오늘 하루만 (This Day) on October 26, 2009.[3] The trio briefly reunited for a showcase event on November 11, 2009; however, plans for a full-scale comeback were not confirmed.[4] Their album Story became available on iTunes starting March 30, 2010.
