뚜띠
On September 3, 1996, Tutti made their debut with their first studio album Kiss the Future and the title track "Vicarious Satisfaction". Later in June 1997, they released Kiss The Future (Promo), a repackage of their debut album. Sometime after this, the duo went on a hiatus to study fashion in Canada.
On January 11, 2000, Tutti returned with their second studio album True Colors and the title track "Baby I Love You". In December 2001, Tutti re-debuted under Laful Entertainment with the studio album Crazy, under the name Runa. The album consisted of songs from their second album and a new title track "첨봐 첨봐".
While they didn't promote on music shows for this release, they did film music video. On August 3, 2004, the duo completely rebranded themselves into a trot group and released the mini album Semi Trot Song No. 1 using the name Ttutti.
The duo promoted with the song "Clap Clap Clap", which got a lot of praise from the trot music scene. In July, the group announced plans for an album containing "Clap Clap Clap" in October, as well as advancing into the Japanese music market. On January 18, 2006, they released the studio album The Happiness and promoted with the title track "Three Hundred Won".
The album also included songs from their 2004 mini album. On December 12, 2007, it was reported that Trifecta Entertainment had filed a lawsuit against Ttutti for breaching their contract, demanding 110 million won in damages. In response, Ttutti's side stated in a press release on the 16th that they would be filing a countersuit against the agency for embezzlement, breach of trust, and intimidation.
They claimed that the agency failed to pay them properly for over 100 radio and TV appearances, withheld event appearance fees, ignored their health concerns and delaying their comebacks. In addition, when the members wanted to terminate their contracts, the agency threatened to sue them for hundreds of millions of won in damages by citing terms in their contract, which according to them was in fact no different from a "slave contract". On the 18th, Ttutti's side held a press conference refuting claims made by Trifecta Entertainment.
On December 25, it was announced that Ttutti had come to an agreement with their agency on the 24th. The contents of the agreement include the withdrawal of the lawsuit filed by Trifecta Entertainment against Ttutti, the termination of the exclusive contract between Trifecta Entertainment and Ttutti, and the resolution of the issue of compensation for damages, with Ttutti no longer obligated to pay compensation for damages. Additionally, the duo announced their retirement from the entertainment industry and subsequently disbanded.
- After retiring from the entertainment industry, the twins jumped into the fashion and cosmetics business in 2013. - In 2013, they worked as the CEO for Think2You and collaborated stylist Han Hyeyeon to develop a line of seamless leggings for the brand Leg House, which generated sales of over 400 million won. - They later launched the medical device and cosmetics specialty company CSINC and work as its CEO.
