Davichi

Davichi (Hangul: 다비치) is a South Korean pop-ballad duo formed in 2008 by Mnet Media. Davichi is derived from the Korean word "Dabichi", which means 'the light to shine over the world'.

Davichi received massive attention before their official debut when it was revealed that member Kang Minkyung was a former internet eoljjang. It was also revealed that popular celebrities Lee Mi-yeon and Lee Hyori were supporting their upcoming debut and would be appearing in their debut music video. With this news, many predicted Davichi would go on to win many rookie awards.

The duo released their debut full-length album, Amaranth on February 4, 2008. They originally promoted the track "I Hate You, I Love You", which went on to win 'Rookie of the Month (February)' from the Cyworld Digital Music Awards. After finishing promotions for "I Hate You, I Love You", the duo went on to begin promotions for the song "Sad Promise". The song managed to win a 'Mutizen Award' from SBS Inkigayo, securing Davichi's place as outstanding rookie artists.

On July 8, 2008, after months of mainstream music hiatus, the duo returned with a repackaged edition of their first full-length album, titled, 'Vivid Summer Edition (Amaranth Repackage Album)'. "Love and War" was used as the promotional single. The song continued Davichi's growing popularity and managed to win two music station awards and one Cyworld Digital Music Award.

In the final months of 2008, Davichi 'sweeped' the year-end music awards, by winning 'Best New Artist' at the Mnet Asian Music Awards, Golden Disk Awards, and the Seoul Music Awards.

On October 7, 2012, it was announced that Davichi, along with their managers, would be leaving Core Contents Media. More information regarding their new label will be released at a later date. It was later confirmed that the group would rejoin label Core Contents Media for a 'blockbuster' comeback in February. After revising their new contracts, the duo decided to return to CCM.
