History

Soy was previously a member of the girl group T.T.Ma before she formed an indie duo along with Jang Jun Seon. The acoustic version of the song Wanna Be Loved was originally from T.T.Ma and was included as a bonus track on Raspberry Field's first single.[2]

Raspberry Field initially appeared in various clubs in the Hong Ik University area and other various music festivals, particularly in the Pentaport Concert.[3] The name of the duo was created because of their music that was compared to a raspberry. According to Soy, their songs are about the double-sidedness of life, as it offers both sweet and bitter moments.[4]

Their single Saturday Afternoon was featured in the commercial of Etude, a cosmetic brand in South Korea.[5] The lyrics and music of the song was composed by Soy herself.[6]

Although all their singles were done through Cho Ah Entertainment, their latest album was produced through Macaroon Company[7] and distributed in the United States by Kingpin Entertainment [8]
