That exact year they debuted, their song, ‘Did We Truly Fall in Love’ hit the charts and was deemed one of the most popular songs of the year. In 2007, they made their statement as a band with one of Korea’s best R&B and soul albums; The Wind, The Sea, The Rain has 20 tracks that showed the listeners their capability.
