Seo Taiji and Boys II

Seo Taiji and Boys II is the second studio album by South Korean boy group Seo Taiji and Boys, released via Bando Records on June 21, 1993. With over 2.2 million copies sold, it is one of the best-selling albums in South Korea. The album spawned the hit "Anyhow Song" (Hayeoga) which became its lead single.

Overview
Following the breakout success of their debut album, its followup was highly anticipated. While promoting the second album, Seo Taiji and Boys were banned from appearing on certain television shows, including KBS, because they wore earrings, ripped jeans and had dreadlocks.

Reception
The album was well received in South Korea and continued to build upon the group's popularity, especially amongst teenagers and college students. In November 1993, "Anyhow Song" was deemed the song with the "highest musical perfection" among new generation singers throughout the year. At year-end award shows, Seo Taiji and Boys won the Album Bonsang prize at the 8th Golden Disc Awards in December and was nominated for Album Daesang, but lost to Shin Seung-hun's Because I Love You. In April 1996, Billboard reported that the album had sold over 1.6 million copies, which has since reportedly grown to over 2.2 million copies. In 2007, Kyunghyang Shinmun ranked the album number 30 on its 2007 list of the Top 100 Korean Albums of all time.
