Request A ShowYB's lead vocalist Do Hyun Yoon collaborated with NCSOFT's CINDER CITY, expressing excitement to introduce the game's character Orchid to global fans through their music.
YB is signed with Universal Music Group Korea, which distributes their music.
YB collaborated with the K-Rock band Xdinary Heroes on their latest album, "Odyssey," for the track "Rebellion." This marks their second collaboration, following Xdinary Heroes’ October 2024 track "iNSTEAD! (Feat. YB Yoon Do Hyun)."
Founded in 1996 by Yoon Do-hyun, YB, originally known as Yoon Do-hyun Band, emerged from the Paju music scene in Gyeonggi Province. Yoon, a hard rock/folk rock singer, musician, and songwriter, released his debut solo album, “In Front of the Post Office in Autumn,” in 1994, which included the singles “Tarzan” and “Love Two.” The band, with Yoon on vocals, Kim Jin-won on drums, Yoo Byung-yeol on guitar, and Park Tae-hee on bass, later appeared in Kim Hong-joon’s film “Jungle Story.” Despite early challenges, including a near disbandment around 2000 and a change in guitarist with Huh Joon replacing Yoo Byung-yeol, YB gained significant public attention with their 2002 World Cup cheer song “Oh! Pilseung Korea.” This marked a turning point for the band, solidifying their status as a prominent rock act in South Korea.
Over the years, YB cultivated a reputation for energetic live performances and Yoon’s distinctive vocal style, selling over 2 million albums and conducting more than 100 live concerts. Their contributions to music and human rights earned them music awards from KBS, MBC, and SBS, as well as the WPMA (World Peace Music Award) in 2003 for their efforts in promoting human rights. Renamed YB in 2005, they made history as the first Korean band to tour Europe and performed sold-out shows in New York City in 2006. The band’s journey was chronicled in two rockumentaries, “On the Road, Two” (2006) and “Flying Butterfly” (2010). YB celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015 with a series of sold-out concerts titled “20 Years Old,” demonstrating their enduring appeal and influence.
Beyond his work with YB, Yoon Do-hyun has maintained a diverse career as a solo artist, releasing two albums and three EPs, including “Difference” (2005) and “Singing Yoon Do-hyun” (2014). He has also engaged in musical theatre, starring in productions such as “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” and “Once.” Yoon is also an accomplished television personality, serving as an MC for variety programs like “Yoon Do-hyun’s Love Letter” (2002-2008) and a judge on “Sing Again Season 2” (2021-2022). His broad career encompasses significant achievements in music, acting, and broadcasting, earning him accolades such as the SBS Entertainment Awards Producer’s Award for Best MC in 2012.
