For this week’s Offstage we’re taking a closer look at e.one.Even if you don’t recognize the name e.one, you definitely have come across their work before. So let’s take a closer look.
Duo
E.one is a duo that consists of Choi Hyun Joon and Jung Ho Hyun. They have composed, written and arranged some of K-pop’s biggest hits.
Choi Hyun Joon is also a vocalist for the vocal group V.O.S. Check him out on Instagram here. You can find Jung Ho Hyun on Instagram here. They both write and produce separately as well, however for the sake of this feature we’ll focus on the music they have created together. I feel like they would each deserve their own, more in-depth article.
Music
They composed the OST ‘Beautiful Girl’ for the series ‘The Girl Who Still Wants To Marry’ in 2010 by BYUL. That’s their first writing credit I could find.
E.one also composed the title track for Top Cloud.
They created multiple songs for the group ZE:A.
In 2012, they wrote the title track ‘JANUS’ for the group BOYFRIEND.
Yoseop Yang from BEAST used their song ‘Although I’ in his 2012 album ‘The First Collage’.
