It’s Brave Entertainment’s DKB. The DKB consists of 9 members who debuted on 3 February 2020. The group debuted with their EP “Youth” and the title song “Sorry Mama”.

Who Are DKB?
DKB are also known as Dark Brown Eyes. The group is under Brave Entertainment. The group is also successfully bringing Korean hip-hop and R&B to the masses. Another aspect that sets them apart is that they are a self-producing group. They have been producing since their trainee days. Their debut song’s catchy music and lyrics have successfully captured the attention of many. DKB is an important group for its label since it was their first boy group since 2012’s Big Star. Brave Entertainment is founded by Brave Brothers, whose founder Kang Dong-Chul is a former YG Entertainment producer. Their name DKB which stands for Dark Brown Eyes, means the one who has it will reach out to the world. The spokesperson for the label announced that DKB’s debut would be like a fresh whiff of air for the K-pop industry in 2020. And it truly undoubtedly did!
Watch their latest song, Sober, here.
Profiles of K-pop groups members DKB:
E-Chan
E-Chan, born on 19 February 1997, is the leader as well as the hyung of the group. His given name happens to be Lee Chang-min. He was previously a contestant on the survival reality show Boys24 but was later eliminated. E-chan initially aspired to be an actor, but as fate has it, we have him as the leader and rapper of this K-pop group DKB. He is also nicknamed the Idea Bank since he happens to have a lot of new ideas every time the group plans a choreography. If you are interested in his personality type, he is an ESFP. Further, his hobbies include watching movies, shopping, and listening to music.
D1
D1 was born on 15 February 1998. Given name of E-chan is Jang Dong-il. His specialty lies in the area of songwriting and choreography. His nickname is the Korean word Elvan. Elvan basically means a cooked egg, which is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. D1 feels that he is like that too. He might appear cold on the outside, but he’s a softie from the inside. D1 hopes to become an all-rounder singer in the coming years who lives in a double-decker home. Also, he has previously expressed how he wants to buy his parent’s home. We all love the dedicated and loving son of their parents.

Teo
Teo, whose given name is Jang Song-sik, was born on 22 October 1997. He is the main vocalist of DKB. He has revealed his specialty to be songwriting and composing. Furthermore, he also boasts of being specialized in Taekwondo and acrobatics. It is interesting to note that he has an athletic streak within him, as he’s also interested in snowboarding. But, despite all these choices in hobbies, he still aspired to be a singer only from childhood. One another fun fact about him is that he is nicknamed Kyuhyun sunbaenim. Kyuhyun is a member of the veteran group Super Junior. Apparently, Teo’s friends and members say that he has a starting resemblance with the singer, and he enjoys this nickname of his. I mean, not gonna lie, but I can see the resemblance!
GK
GK was born on 29 September 1998 as Kim Gwang-hyun. His position is that of a rapper in the group. Rap-making and rapping are his specialties. Interestingly, our beloved rapper didn’t wish to be in the K-Pop industry from the start. He instead aspired to become a master martial artist. GK’s nickname happens to be Desert Fox, for which we all are awaiting a logical explanation. It might be because of the shape of his eyes. Moreover, fox-like features are considered attractive in Korean culture. He also has an interesting hobby up his sleeve. It happens to be making drip coffee. In fact, when asked where he sees himself in the next ten years, GK had some exciting answers. He said that he’d be a popular rapper, songwriter, and barista. Well, if GK becomes a barista, you know where to find us in our free time (wink wink)!
Heechan
Member Heechan was born on 31 July 1999. He is the dancer and rapper among the members of DKB. His specialty is choreography too. Like E-Chan, Heechan was also a participant in Boys24 and was eventually eliminated from the show. His dream right from his childhood was to be a world star, and he clearly is now! Heechan’s nickname happens to be Passionate Guy. Being passionate about your work is a prerequisite in the K-Pop industry anyways, so Heechan is on the right track. Heechan has further revealed that in the next ten years, he wants to be successful and become a global star like his seniors BTS. Further, Heechan’s MBTI type is ENFP.
Lune
Lune was born on 27 February 2000. The singer’s given name is Jung Sung-min. He is the visual among the members of DKB. His beautiful eyes and god-like visuals explain his position. He says that his hobbies include watching movies and dramas. His childhood dream was to be like his dad. Aww! His 10 years vision for himself is also a really sweet one. He wishes to be recognized by everyone irrespective of their age or gender. This is especially important since people tend to assume that most K-pop fans are teenage girls. Although the truth is quite contrary to this fact, not many accept it. Also, Lune’s idol is BTS’s V.
Junseo
Next, among the DKB members, we have Junseo. Junseo was born on 16 January 2001. His position in the group includes dancing, rapping, and DJing. Freestyle dancing happens to be his specialty. He always dreamt of either becoming a Kindergarten teacher, idol, or an armed forces officer. It’s great that he has accomplished one of his dreams and doing great at it. Junseo’s nickname is fist, just because he has a big fist. It’s as simple as that! He hopes that in the next 10 years, he’d be involved in community services and will also travel around the world with his family. Furthermore, Junseo is an alumni of the prestigious School of Performing Arts in Seoul (SOPA). Junseo’s MBTI type is ENFJ.
Yuku
Yuku’s full name is Amanuma Yuku. He was born on 12 May 2002. Yuku is the only foreign member of DKB since he is Japanese. He is actually the first Japanese artist under Brave Entertainment. He is a vocalist and dancer in the group. Yuku specializes in kendama and dancing. His hobbies include watching animated shows. The idol doesn’t have a nickname and wishes to have one someday. You all better start brainstorming right away for a nickname for our Yuku. Although one of the unofficial nicknames that he has got from fans is ‘soft sun’. His childhood dream also happened to be a stage personality someday. Yuku should be proud of himself since he has made it. In the next ten years, he believes that he’ll be a member of DKB and will be known worldwide.
Harry-June
Harry-June was born on 1 January 2004, making him the maknae of the group. His given name is Han Harry-June. His name sounds very exotic, but he is actually a Korean native. Freestyle dancing happens to be his specialty. Harry-June always wanted to be an idol, and if not that, then a dancer or a basketball player. He is genuinely very interested in basketball. His members have given him the nickname Smurf. As he wears beanies a lot, his members think he looks like a Smurf. On the education part, he is currently attending the prestigious Hanlim Multi Arts High School. His favorite artists happen to be DPR live or Hong Da-bin (his real name). His passion for dancing existed from his elementary school times only. But it was only after he was in his first year of middle school that he started learning dance officially. Harry-June’s MBTI happens to be an ENFP. He currently also stars in the reality show “Be Mbitious”.
