K-pop group - Chaos

Winning InSight, the label behind girl group Piggy Dolls, made the debut of their first boy group by the name of Chaos early in 2012. Chaos made their debut in both Japan and Korea at the same time.

It consists of five members including Heejae, Hyunsun, Taeyang, Doohwan, and Dongmin. Taeyang ended up in controversy even before the debut because of his name. Big Bang’s fanclub asked for a name change due to him having the same name as one of the Big Bang members. Chaos’s company responded to the plea, saying that Taeyang will be including his last name, Park, in his stage name. Members Hyunsun and Taeyang were revealed earlier through teaser pictures.

They have been gathering much attention and popularity with their new hit single and music video which were released on January 6. Their popularity is not limited to only Korea, it goes worldwide. Also, they are called “machodolls” for their manly appearance and style with a funky sound. “CHAOS” refers to the formless state preceding the creation of the universe or cosmos in Greek mythology. The early stage of chaos and disorder. The group was named Chaos because they want to put some ‘chaos’ in the music industry. They released their first studio album on July 27th with the title track [RACER]. The concept showed them as rugged and manly guys, which was a 180° transformation from their sleek and playful debut look. The album also included the songs from their debut single.
