Biography
Noel is a fairly new R & B style group, with four-male singers who actually will have no problem even if they individually start as singers. They are actually chosen and produced by Park Jin-young a famous singer and producer of JYP entertainment and have been trained for three years before they actually debuted as Noel. Plus, took a interesting way introducing themselves; they have advertised themselves not through Television programs, but through SK Telecoms June, and teaser trailers/advertisements on TV. The marketing worked, and when they finally revealed themselves completely the curious and eager audience loved them. Their first album Noeul vol.1 and its title song Despite Holding On was a great success, earning the hearts of Korean listeners with their sad and desperate tone . However, the first album shows some characteristics of a debut album, trying to show off what they can do, with songs done solo by each of the members. In May of year 2004, after almost a three-year gap, the group returned with a new album, New Beginning, with the title song Even Though It Hurts. This album is a continuation of their sad and desperate voice in a urban R&B style, but with a step improved and deepened tone. In March of 2006, Noel comes back with the 3rd album, with the title song "It was All You" (전부 너였다), which is climbing up the charts right now.
