The debut became highly successful selling over 250,000 copies.[4] The duo acquired status equally the next-generation stars as they won All-time New Artist award in 2000.[five] At the same time, the duo failed to rise to instant stardom unlike their predecessors such equally H.O.T., whose album sales have passed the one million mark.[half-dozen]

Their popularity rapidly climbed with the release of their second album The Promise in 2001, which featured more diverse genres than its predecessor. With more upbeat tracks, it peaked at #two, merely speedily disappeared from the charts.[7] In the same year, they held a articulation concert with Korean R&B singer Kim Jo-Han.

In April 2002, their third album Sea of Love was released while Joo was in New Jersey attention Rutgers University. As a event, Hwang began to perform by himself until Joo returned to Korea. The lead unmarried from the anthology was the championship track, a poppy carol, and it became a summer hitting. Their 2nd single "Condition of my Heart" was written by American vocalizer Brian McKnight; in dissimilarity to the kickoff single, "Status" was a heavier ballad. The single signaled the duo's musical transition from bubblegum music to R&B. Along with their music, their image began to change equally the duo traded in their "flower boy" look for a more masculine image. In the aforementioned twelvemonth, the characterization released a female duo that was said past fans to complement Fly to the Sky known as Isak Northward Jiyeon, however the two groups never worked independently with each other.

Their 2003 studio anthology Missing You featured more tracks that departed from bubblegum music and emphasized their vocal skills for an image as serious artists. Performing commercially well, the album gave the duo many awards including "Bonsang" laurels from SBS Gayo Daejun and Korea Music Awards. This period is remembered for the highly publicized death of their manager, who was also the manager of BoA, another Korean vocalist.[8] On a variety testify, both members recalled this incident equally an emotionally hard time for them. Hwanhee was especially shocked, because he was on the same vehicle with his manager but hours before the incident.

In Nov 2004, the duo released their fifth and last studio album nether SM Entertainment, Gravity. The album received lilliputian promotion, and became the duo's everyman-selling studio album, selling only below ninety,000 copies.[9] [x] Nevertheless, they held their starting time official concert successfully in Jamsil Arena on December 21, 2004, and received "Best R&B Artist" accolade from SBS Gayo Daejun.[11] A controversy rose as critics questioned their eligibility for the award, because the anthology was released only two months earlier the prove. They challenged the credibility and fairness of SBS Gayo Daejun in its entirety as the artists who boycotted SBS such as YG Family or those who were non present did not receive any awards. They scorned the bear witness every bit "a party for only those who were present."[12]

The release of their Greatest hits album Eternity in 2005 coincided with the release of the soundtrack of Korean drama Fashion 70s which featured the duo. The popular Korean show fabricated their song "가슴 아파도" ("Although My Heart Aches"), the theme vocal of the show, an unexpected hit.[13] Eternity is the last Fly to the Sky album released by SM Amusement.

Later on Fly to the Sky's contract with SM Entertainment expired in November 2004, the duo signed on with PFull Amusement.

In 2004 and 2005, the duo's uncertain future after their contract with SM Entertainment led to a speculation that they would disband.[16] Brian Joo publicly addressed the rumours on SBS prove "Yah Shim Man Man," which aired on July 10. He admitted that the ii had difficulties in the early on days of their career and said that he had been troubled past feelings of inferiority to Hwanhee, because he received more attending and praise than him.[17] Despite their condition as a duo, he felt that he was not given his due or the same amount of attention as Hwanhee. Eventually he found this difficult to comport, and suggested to him that they pursue their split paths. Hwanhee responded angrily and the matter escalated into a serious fight nearly leading to disbandment. The two reconciled soon after, and said they "grew to better understand each other and realized that they both needed each other."[18] [19] Afterwards, the pair decided to try to better understand each other in lodge to solve their bug together and to support each other. After reflecting on this incident, Joo's optics were chock with tears.

Since 2006, the duo has been seen frequently on variety shows and pursued individual careers. Hwanhee appeared on Korean television drama "Over the Rainbow" during summertime of 2006, and Joo released his solo anthology The Brian in December 2006. As they appeared more frequently on non-music programs, the duo saw an increase in their popularity and backlash from critics at the aforementioned fourth dimension as they felt the duo were compromising their image equally artists.[20]

2014: Comeback after five years on hiatus [edit]

On April fourteen, 2014, Brian Joo announced on his Twitter that Fly to the Heaven will exist making their comeback in May.

Musical way [edit]

The duo'southward debut single "24-hour interval by Twenty-four hour period" was a lite bubblegum love vocal. Their subsequent songs were a combination of R&B, pop rap, and hip-hop until 2002, when the duo abased bubblegum popular. Since 2002, they opted for a blend of heavy R&B and Korean pop. They keep to sing dear songs, and some of them continue to contain hip-hop and rap from Joo.

The duo differs in their sense of taste of music. Producer of Transition, Hwang Se-Jun, has said Hwanhee prefers pure R&B while Brian likes music with singled-out beats and has a potent liking for rap.[19] Despite his passion, their 2006 studio album Transition does not feature any. Brian predicts that there will no longer exist any opportunity to include his rap in their anthology, and dislikes "existence generalized as a duo comprised of one rapper and 1 vocalist." He lamented the waning popularity of hip-hop in Due south Korea where "hip-hop is just labeled every bit dance music in Korea."[14]

Criticisms [edit]

Prior to the duo's transition to R&B, critics were displeased every bit despite being promoted every bit serious artists that entreatment to older audiences, they felt that the duo was no different from other popular teen idols at that time.[28] In a lengthy interview with music review site "52street", the site described the duo in the early years equally, "trendy hairstyle, thick make-upward, and flashy trip the light fantastic moves."[14]

Every bit their career matured, critics have pointed that Fly to the Sky has nevertheless to detect their own manner. The duo has been criticized for lack of creative control over their works and relying heavily on composers whose singled-out styles overpower their vocals.[29] During their career they have written lyrics for four songs in albums Gravity and No Limitations.[29] [30] Music critic Shin Hye Rim says,[29]

Ironically, Fly to the Sky'southward sixth album Transition, which means change or transformation, shows no significant improvement. Despite that this album is their offset step under their new characterization, the album nigh turns out just the way we have predicted. Fany'southward thick tone color and Brian's clean-cut voice fuse to make music that spits out sorrow. That'due south near it.

Their appearances at diverseness shows were met with scrutiny as the duo were seen ofttimes outside of music programs during 2006.[31] They were one of many artists who hopped on a bandwagon to promote their albums by appearing comical on variety shows. Critics compared this option to a double-edged sword; while they gained more publicity and a more viewer-friendly image, they were compromising their paradigm as professional artists.[32] From January to February 2006, Seoul YWCA conducted a research to report diversity shows that air from 6PM to 8PM. The inquiry concluded that "multifariousness shows star the aforementioned celebrities and air similar content."[twenty] The article listed celebrities who frequent those shows, of which Joo was i of them.
