DEUX is a pioneering name in the Korean music scene, renowned for their significant contribution to the early wave of modern K-pop and Korean hip-hop. The duo, consisting of vocalist Lee Hyun Do and the late rapper Kim Sung Jae, first took the music industry by storm in the early 1990s with their fresh blend of hip-hop, new jack swing, and pop. DEUX quickly became the embodiment of cool for Korean youth, with their stylish fashion choices and danceable beats.

Despite their disbandment and the tragic passing of Kim Sung Jae in 1995, DEUX's music continued to influence generations of Korean artists. Over time, their work has been revisited and celebrated through various compilations and remastered releases. Albums such as "Deuxism", "Rhythm Light Beat Black", and the nostalgically titled "2008 The story of winter" serve as timeless testaments to the duo's originality and enduring appeal. With "Live 199507151617" capturing the electrifying energy of their live performances and "BEST" curating their greatest hits, DEUX's legacy continues to resonate, illustrating their status as true icons in the history of Korean pop music.
