Wanted Biography
Wanted, consisting of leader Kim Jae Suk, members Ha Dong Kyun and Suh Jae Ho and producer/composer Jeon Sung Hwan, first debuted in 2004 under M-Boat Entertainment with the album Vol.1 Like The First. Their leading single from their debut album 발작(發作) Baljag (Reaction), was reasonably popular and received considerable airplay and Wanted was invited to perform the song at numerous occasions. Having a unique balance of a high, clear voice (Jae Suk), a strong pleasant voice (Jae Ho), and a husky, powerful voice (Dong Kyun), they were touted as one of the hottest newly debuted groups. However, not long after their debut, Wanted met with a severe car crash. Suh Jae Ho unfortunately passed on, and Kim Jae Suk was left in a coma with massive injuries. Ha Dong Kyun and Jeon Sung Hwan were lucky to escape with minor injuries. Wanted's activities were thus suspended while bandmates and fans alike mourned for Suh Jae Ho. Kim Jae Suk recovered from his coma and had to spend a long time recuperating and treating the scars left from the accident. In between 2004 and 2006, there was no activity from any of the Wanted members. Ha Dong Kyun occasionally worked for one or two drama OSTs and Wanted seemingly had disbanded. In 2006, Ha Dong Kyun surprisingly released his Vol.1 Stand Alone which garnered attention and reintroduced him to the music scene. His album enjoyed reasonable success for a new (he was considered new) artiste. Kim Jae Suk, recuperating from his injuries, expressed his desire to sing again. In 2007, Wanted then announced their second album. Reunited with 7Dayz bandmate Lee Jung, Wanted's Vol.2 - 7Dayz & Wanted was released in July 2007. Lee Jung, former bandmate of Suh Jae Ho, Jeon Sung Hwan and Ha Dong Kyun in 7Dayz, had remained good friends with his bandmates even after disbanding and had decided to participate in the album as a tribute to his much-missed friend. Staying true to their R&B-esque roots, the album has powerful ballads such as I Promise You and more light hearted tracks such as Wonderful Day. Epik High also participated in the album. With the release of Vol.2, fans are hoping that Wanted has returned for good and there will be more album releases in the future.
