Davichi (Hangul: 다비치) is a South Korean pop-ballad duo that consists of Lee Haeri (이해리) and Kang Minkyung (강민경). The duo was formed in 2008 by Mnet Media. Davichi was derived from the word "Davichi" which means the light to shine over the world, illustrating their voices to be spread over the world, explained by Lee Haeri during one of the episodes of Pops In Seoul.
The duo released their debut studio album, Amaranth, on February 4, 2008. The promotional track "I Hate You, I Love You" won 'Rookie of the Month (February)' from the Cyworld Digital Music Awards. After finishing promotions for "I Hate You, I Love You", the duo went on to begin promotions for the song "Sad Promise". On July 8, 2008, the duo released a repackaged edition of their first album, Vivid Summer Edition, with "Love and War" as the promotional single.
In the final months of 2008, Davichi won 'Best New Artist' at the Mnet Asian Music Awards, Golden Disk Awards, and the Seoul Music Awards.
