[edit] History
[edit] Your Story - Volume 1
In February 2006 The Brown Eyed Girls released their debut album in South Korea, Your Story. The album did not do as well as expected commercially, but received positive reviews from critics. However it did spawn their hit debut single 다가와서, which became a minor hit through out Korea. The album was later re-released (repackaged) to include the girls new hit Hold The Line (which samples Push The Button by British girl band Sugababes and Technologic by Draft Punk). The song also became a hit which boosted the bands popularity even more.

After a decent break the girls went back into the studio to work on their sophomore album, which was later titled, 떠나라 미스김. The first single to be lifted from the album was 너에게 속았다 (translated to I Got You Fooled). They later released the single 오아시스 featuring LEE Jae Hoon. The final single taken from the album was 내꺼야 in which the girls collaborated with SeeYa.
During the break between their debut album and their sophomore album the girl group released their first digital single titled 내가 여름이다. The single was later included on the girls sophomore LP.
