F-iV[1][2] (Korean: 파이브; RR: pai-beu; also stylized as F-IV) is a four-member South Korean boy band composed of Seo Ji Won, Jang Hae Young, Woo Jung Tae, and Kim Hyun Soo. Formed in 1999, the group became a popular boy band in the early 2000s in South Korea[1]. During their existence, the group released two albums and one EP.

Etymology

Although F-iV consists of four members, the group's name is pronounced like the word five in English. According to the group, the reason is that the F in the group's name stands for fan, where the group's fans are considered the fifth member of their group. Moreover, the group states that the iV in the group's name is supposed to be like the Roman numerals IV, which is equivalent to the number 4 like the number of members in the group.[1][3]

Career

1999-2001: Pre-debut Years

The four members of F-iV were first formed as a group by their label H&J Entertainment in 1999 due to the rise in popularity of R&B music from groups such as Fly to the Sky and Brown Eyes[1], and were recruited for their music talents such as composition and arrangement[2]. The group spent three years training in preparation for their eventual debut[1].

2002-2004: Active Years

On September 25, 2002, F-iV released their debut album F-iV [Faiv], which featured songs with R&B and ballad elements[1]. One of their songs, Girl, received critical success and was nominated under the category Best New Group in 2003 at theMnet Asian Music Awards (then called the Mnet Music Video Festival), one of the major music awards ceremony in South Korea. The group followed up the success of their debug album with their sophomore album F-iV Story on March 30, 2004[4].

2012: Ten-Year Anniversary

The members of F-iV came together after a seven-year hiatus to record an EP titled Thank You on February 6, 2012[5]. The album was released ten years after their 2002 debut album F-iV [Faiv][6] to commemorate their tenth anniversary as a group[6].

2016: Public Reappearance

After a four-year hiatus, F-iv appeared publicly again in 2016 on South Korean television channel JTBC's Two Yoo Project Sugar Man, where they made a special appearance as guests in Episode 37 of the show's first season [3][7][8].
