History

DKB in February 2020

DKB is the first boyband to debut under Brave Entertainment since the debut of Big Star seven years prior.[1][2] Their name, DKB, is short for "Dark Brown Eyes", meaning that "those who have it will reach out to the world."[3] A representative of Brave Entertainment described the group as "a newcomer who will bring a new breeze to the music industry in 2020."[2] Various teasers were released throughout the second half of 2019 revealing the members of the group.[4]

On January 16, 2020, Brave Entertainment released a teaser image showing nine figures standing against a dark background with red lighting. The image also revealed the title of the EP, Youth, along with its release date, February 3.[5] Youth was released along with its lead single, "Sorry Mama", which was produced by Brave Brothers.[1] The group's debut showcase was held at the Spigen Hall in Gangnam the same day.[6] The EP entered the Gaon Album Chart at number 41 the following week.[7]

DKB released their second EP Love, and its lead single "Still" on May 25, 2020.[8]

On August 13, 2020, at the 2020 Soribada Awards, DKB won the "Next Artist Award", their first award since debut.[9]

DKB released their third EP Growth and its lead single "Work Hard" on October 26, 2020.[10]
