Norazo (hangul: 노라조) is a musical male duo from South Korea, known for their eccentric stages and comical lyrics.[1] The two original members were Jo Bin and Lee Hyuk. They were also participants in the musical variety show, Immortal Songs.[2] The duo debuted in 2005.[3] After Lee Hyuk's departure from the group vocalist Won Heum joined as the new member.[4]

History

Jo Bin and Lee Hyuk met accidentally as they started to use the same practice room. Jo cited Lee's good physique and singing skills that first caught his attention. Jo decided to trick Lee into joining him by telling him they were to sing ballads. Later they decided to do music different from the usual K-pop sound.[5]

Lee Hyuk left the duo in February 2017.[6] Vocalist Won Heum joined as the new member and they released their first song together on the 21st of August, 2018.[4]
