They then made their debut on June 20, 2013, performing their single "Don't Mess With Me (까불지마)" on the Mnet music program M Countdown. The single album and music video for "Don't Mess With Me" were released in July. The music video featured fellow SidusHQ artist, actor Kim Woo-bin. Their debut drew much attention from critics as their management agency SidusHQ was better known for managing some of South Korea's top actors and actresses rather than musicians.
Yeonjun left the group in 2014, through a company letter. According to her, she left for personal reasons and would like to focus on her career. They had no activities in 2014 because of this departure. After Yeonjun's departure, 2EYES decided to continue promoting as a four-member group. They made their comeback on August 24, 2015 with the single " PIPPI", which is based on the children's stories character Pippi Longstocking. The music video featured all for members dressed like Pippi Longstocking before transforming into beautiful young women. In September, their company SidusHQ received a complaint from the Swedish company Saltkråkan which owned the copyright to the character Pippi Longstocking over the group's use of the concept without permission.
2Eyes officially disbanded in early 2018. In Mixnine, Hyangsuk said they were already in the process in disbanding in November 2017.

The song PIPPI by 2EYES is an upbeat and catchy track that revolves around the persona of Pippi, who seems to be a confident and self-assured person. The lyrics start with the repetition of the word Pippi, which seems to be a reference to the persona or nickname of the singer. The persona is presented as a VIP who is unattainable and sought after, with the singer describing herself as "neon," which means "bright" or "luminous" in Korean. Throughout the lyrics, Pippi is described as a person who is confident in herself and takes risks, flying higher and faster than the wind.
The chorus of the song highlights the theme of physical touch, where Pippi seems to be in control of who can touch her and when. She seems to be communicating a message of empowerment and ownership of her body. The lines "You Can Touch My Body" are repeated multiple times, conveying a sense of confidence and control over one's body.
One of the interesting aspects of the song is its use of Korean slang, such as the word "pinggye" which means "to be successful" or "to be popular." This usage of slang reflects the contemporary Korean culture and adds to the uniqueness of the lyrics.

To anyone wondering, the original music video upload (along with any legal way to purchase the song) was most likely removed when the Swedish copyright holders to the Pippi Longstocking image more-or-less threatened legal action because they used said image without permission.
...Which is a damn shame. This song was by far 2EYES' best work and I absolutely love everything about it, and is one of my most favorite K-pop songs ever. These girls did amazing to sell this concept and make it as awesome as it is. After the threat of legal action, I'm thinking the couldn't promote the track anymore and not dress or be like Pippi, which kinda defeats the purpose of the song. I think this basically doomed the group in the long run.
This song could've been massive, and really should have been because it's incredible. A true shame it barely got the chance. But hey, at least it exists at all.

I also liked Shooting Star, but their debut song is ok at best for me

This is so dumb, this was a great publicity for the original character. Or the 1theK upload was probably removed because maybe something happened to the label so they decided to stop using 1theK to host their videos.

@Andres Solis Debutaron en 2013, pero no despegaron como se esperó y básicamente no tenían casi público ni se les conocía. Lo que es una pena porque tenían potencial
Victoria Hong
Sad that this is no longer on Spotify
