Bio.
This is going to be a very simple pimp post to get the boys' names out there, okay?
Now, I am in no way an expert on Dragon N Tiger. I cannot find a single good source that agrees about their past i.e. their member changes. Hence, everything written below is my understanding of what went down. If you have any corrections to the info below, please comment and I will edit this post.
Dragon N Tiger debuted in 2008 as a four member under Orange Entertainment with the concept of fusing together dance and ballad music. Dragon N Tiger was made up of two subgroups- Dragon, the dance group and named after Joonyoung the leader (Taeku being the other member), and Tiger, the ballad group named after Chiho the lead singer (the other member being Byungkyu). They came out with a mini-album, but then earlier in 2009 Chiho dropped out. DNT then continued as a three member group and released a single single. In Summer 2009 Orange Entertainment that DNT would be having yet another comeback as a four member group. Former model Dongwook, who'd trained with DNT under Orange Entertainment, was added to make them four members once again. They debuted with their new digital single "Crazily Pretty," which has gained them a great deal of popularity.
After releasing a ballad single in 2009, DNT went international and spent a good deal of time promoting in Thailand. A while after coming back, Taeku left the group and entered the army. Karin was then added to the group. DNT then did some small promotions as four members, until announcing in Summer 2010 that they would be having a comeback- not as four, but as five members. Fans then got a look at Min, the latest member. In July they released a new dance digital single, "Knock Knock" along with a music video with all five members.
Sometime between July and August, Min left the group. As this is very recent news, the reason for his leaving are unknown. Jungjo was then added to the group and they started new promotions for "Knock Knock."
