Loveholic (러브홀릭) is a South Korean modern rock group founded in April 2002 which released its first album in 2003.[1] The band successfully released six albums, including a short compilation album and a reissue of the original album with additional tracks before separating. The band is well known for its success, beginning with their first album and the success of its Pop song, "놀러와 (Come On)", and the cover of member Kang Hyun Min's song, "인형의 꿈 (Doll's Dream)" as well as having its songs featured in many films. The band's song "신기루 (Mirage)" also was used as the ending theme to the Japanese anime Black Blood Brothers soon after the song's album release. They have participated in many soundtracks for MBC and KBS.

After Jisun's departure, the remaining duo renamed the band Loveholics and now features guest vocals to supplement the band's sound.[1]

Former

Hwang Jisun (Hangul: 황지선; RR: Hwang Ji-seon; born October 23, 1979), who had been singing at Hongdae clubs was auditioned by Kang Hyun Min and Lee Jae Hak who had wanted to start a band. Jisun left Loveholic in 2007. Reasons for the split were vague but it was clear that the paths that both Jisun and the rest of the group wanted to go down differed.[4] She was later signed up by Woollim Entertainment, and her solo album was released in February 2009.
