Career

Aoora was the first to join the group. Looking for a company he could work with and make music he decided on Well Made STAR M. Aoora then brought Woosang to the group, asking him to do the choreography for his music. The company then later added Juwon and Hoik, who had aspirations to be singers and moved from Busan to Seoul to do so, and Kimchi, who had quit learning the piano and clarinet to his dream of becoming a singer.

The song "So Crazy" and its music video earned them much critical acclaim, with their debut marked as "sexy and charismatic". Despite Aoora being the oldest, Woosang became leader. On 4 November 2011 Double A performed their debut stage live on KBS's Music Bank. The group also performed "So Crazy" on various music shows in South Korea such as MBC's Music Core, JTBC's Music On Top and SBS's Inkigayo.

The song was banned and deemed unfit for broadcast by KBS and SBS. 27 March marked the end of AA's year and six-month hiatus with the release of their first mini album, Come Back. The six tracks that were included within the album were all composed, arranged and produced by Aoora.
