Buzz's major success in 2006 was marked by three of the band's songs reaching the MTV-Korea top 10 list in a mere week, consecutively- "My Love," "My Darling," and "남자를 몰라" (You don't know men). In addition, the song "은인" (Savior) made it to the top 14 list. There were scandals among fans that in the 2006 winter discography awards in Korea, that their songs were not considered by the officials for they were a group which worked its way to the top, unlike many other singers/groups and that they did not "pay up".

The forming

The beginning dates back to 1998. Buzz's guitarist, Son Sung-hee, played the guitar since middle school and wanted to create a band. At that time, though, dance music had been dominating the Korean music scene with the advent of Seo Tai-ji and Boys in 1992. Son was further inspired to follow his own route, though, when he heard of Kim Ye-jun, who would become Buzz's future drummer and was popular for playing the drums very well at Sangmun High School, a neighboring school. After the two spent a year as a band made up of only guitars and drums, Son and Kim happened to hear about the story of Aiwon Entertainment, which was then a small, unknown company that had no other singers. Aiwon suggested working with Son and Kim to fill the rest of the band. Eventually, Son and Kim decided to work for Aiwon Entertainment, and met with the Yun Woo-Hyun, who signed the contract with Aiwon before the two. After some time, they hired Shin Jun-ki and Park Jung-hun.

In 2000, the pop-rock band Buzz was formed. They were not a band created by their agency, but rather a band formed by the long-activated youths in the underground market who all had the wish to perform in a band.
