Unremarkable music group, no real claims of notability, appears to fail WP:BAND. Group's only album has not charted. Previously deleted, contested speedy this time. MikeWazowski (talk) 01:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep per xplicit. WP:BAND's 2nd point is "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.".  Now, my Korean's a little rusty - I'm reduced to believing the article's claims and judging accordingly.  If the article's accurate, they're notable. Colon el  Tom 12:38, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
