Career

[edit]

Loro's was formed in Hongdae in 2005 by Do Jaemyeong, Choi Jongmin, Jane, Bok Namgyu, Kim Seok and Jinsil.[5][6][7] Do Jaemyeong was a former member of shoegaze band Zzzaam.[1] They released their first single Scent Of Orchid in 2006.[2] In 2007, they were named Hello Rookie in The EBS space.[8]

In 2008, they released their first studio album Pax.[9] They won the Rookie of the Year at the 2009 Korean Music Awards.[10] In 2009, they released an EP Dream(s), and Na Wonyoung of Weiv described the ep as "Dream(s) is a machine-like song where everything works perfectly in perfect composition, including performance, emotion, composition, narrative, texture, space, everything".[1]

In 2014, they released their second studio album, W.A.N.D.Y.[2] With the album, they won the 2015 Korean Music Awards for Album of the Year and The Best Modern Rock Album.[4] They were invited to the Midem, a music fair in Cannes.[11] In March 2015 they released the single "Time".[5] The member Jinsil left the band to focus on his new band Life and Time.[12]

In July 2015, they announced that they would be on hiatus. Do Jaemyeong said the reason was the members' withdrawal, and his willingness to keep the band disappeared because of that.[13] In a 2017 interview, he interviewed that the band had not broken up, but was preparing again to be with the new members.[5] Do Jaemyeong released his solo debut studio album Under the Sign of Saturn (토성의 영향 아래) in 2017.[14]
