Debuting in early 2007, they became popular in the fall of that year with the song "Tell Me."[3] They have scored three consecutive #1 hit singles: "Tell Me", "So Hot", and "Nobody".[4] In 2008, they won two Daesangs ("Artist of the Year" Awards).[5][6]
The group began their entry into the American market in 2009, with lead single "Nobody"; the single became the first song by a Korean group to enter the Billboard Hot 100. They are co-managed in the United States by JYP Entertainment and Jonas Group.[7]
