Taeyang turned R&B into a solo weapon inside the K-pop machinery. "Eyes, Nose, Lips" swept every major Korean award in 2014, and his albums kept cracking the US charts higher than any Korean soloist had before - proof that a voice could travel without the safety of the group.

About this person
Dong Young-bae debuted in 2006 as part of BigBang, then split off two years later to release Hot, an EP that won Best R&B & Soul Album at the Korean Music Awards. His first full album Solar hit number one on the Gaon chart in 2010. Rise followed in 2014, climbing to 112 on the Billboard 200 - the highest a Korean solo act had reached - while its single "Eyes, Nose, Lips" dominated South Korea that year and took Song of the Year at the MAMAs, Melon Music Awards, and Golden Disc Awards. White Night arrived in 2017, debuting atop Billboard's World Digital Albums and holding the spot for two weeks. Critics call him one of the best vocalists in South Korea.
