Career
Toy started as a duo of Yoo Hee-yeol and Yoon Jeong-oh and was named after their two initials 'Y', as in Two + Y = Toy.
But after releasing Toy's first album, Yoon Jeong-oh left the band to study overseas and Yoo Hee-yeol joined the navy for his mandatory military service. Yoo Hee-yeol has been the sole member of Toy since 1996.
After his discharge from military service, Yoo released Toy's second album Fairy Tales for Adults. The title song Remember I Was Next to You sung by Kim Yeon-woo became a big hit and the album was a success.
In 1997, he released the third album Present and also started a record label named Toy Music (currently Antenna Music). After a six-year hiatus, in 2007 Toy released the sixth album Thank You with the title song '뜨거운 안녕(A Passionate Goodbye)' featuring vocals by E Z Hyoung.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”

—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
