Known for their powerful vocals, impressive dance performances, and charismatic stage presence, Baby V.O.X played a significant role in shaping the landscape of K-pop during their active years.

Their name "Voice of Xpression" conveyed their intention to use their voices to express a wide range of emotions and connect with their audience.

The group made their debut in 1997 with the album "Equalizeher," which garnered attention for its fusion of R&B, pop, and dance elements. Their powerful vocals and synchronized dance routines quickly set them apart in the competitive K-pop scene. Baby V.O.X's early success was further solidified with the release of their second album, "Come Come Come Baby" (1998), and the lead single "Ya Ya Ya," which became a massive hit.
