History

Green Flame Boys were formed in 2012 by Cho Kicheol and Yang Jeonghyeon.[3] Yang Jeonghyeon and Cho Kicheol met for the first time each other at the rock festival,[4] and they were the same ex-members of the band Cheolnam in 2010.[5] Their band name is derived from an Italy fairy tale of the same name.[4] In 2015, they released an EP She Was Just A Cute Tsubomi (그저 귀여운 츠보미였는 걸).[3] The single is a song about Japanese adult actress Tsubomi.[6] In 2017, they released their first studio album, Greenroom on The Valiant.[1][7]

In 2022, they released their second studio album Greenflame, which received good criticisms.[2] Visla Magazine described the album as an experienced performance melting the right strength and weakness for each track in the right place.[8] In 2023, they performed at the Keunsori Festival with Fishing Girls, Walking After You, 2Z, Badram, and Deluxe X Deluxe, which hosted by Korea Popular Music Culture Promotion Association.[9] They won third place in the 2023 Pentaport Rock Festival Super Rookie Competition, and they performed at the festival.[1][10]
