Narsha

Career Debut with Brown Eyed Girls

She became a member of Brown Eyed Girls after a suggestion by JeA, who had been her friend since their high-school years. The four members held several small size concerts, and considered names like "Crescendo" or "Dark Angel" before officially debuting as "Brown Eyed Girls". After more than 3 years of training in singing and holding several small size concerts, the Brown Eyed Girls released their debut album Your Story in South Korea in February 2006, with the ballad track, "Come Closer" as their single.

M&N After Brown Eyed Girls' Kill Bill activities in 2013, the first BEG unit was announced. Miryo and Narsha formed M&N. The original name was '언니둘' (Two Sisters) and it was suggested that if JeA were to join them, they would switch their name to '언니들' (The Sisters).

M&N was introduced as a hip hop group as both Miryo and Narsha are avid fans of the Hip Hop genre, however their first digital single fell under the easy listening genre. The group has released a digital single named "Tonight" in both Korean and English.

The album contained a preview for "Mamma Mia", a collaboration with, at the time, fellow Nega Network group Sunny Hill, which was released fully on August 20.
