Davichi (Korean: 다비치; RR: Dabichi) is a South Korean pop duo formed in 2008, consists of Lee Hae-ri and Kang Min-kyung.[1]

The duo has released three studio albums and six extended plays to date, and featured on several soundtracks for television dramas such as Big (2012), Iris II (2013), It's Okay, That's Love (2014), Descendants of the Sun (2016) and Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016). Since their debut with the single "I Love You Even Though I Hate You", they have experienced consistent commercial success, with seven number-one singles in Korea.
