Typhoon () is a South Korean music ensemble that launched in 2006 under the Trifecta Entertainment label, which also manages the co-ed group Koyote. Marketed as "the second Koyote," their initial album, Troika, earned the distinction of best rookie album for July 2006 by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
In 2008, Solbi was unable to participate in Typhoon's third album, Rendezvous, due to her demanding schedule; a different female vocalist temporarily took her place. Despite this, Solbi remained a member and rejoined whenever her availability permitted.
On January 30, 2009, Hana departed from the group after a two-month tenure. Subsequently, Lee Kyung, recognized for contributing to the OST of the MBC drama Wise Mothers and Good Wives, joined as her replacement on February 6.
Typhoon ceased activities in 2010 but made a comeback in 2017.
