History
Click-B formed in August 1999 under Daesung Entertainment (now DSP Media).
The band split in 2002, with 4 members remaining. In 2003, the 4th album was released with Woo Yun-suk, Oh Jong-hyuk, Kim Sang-hyuk, and Kim Tae-hyung. In 2004, they joined the k-pop duo, J-Walk (consisting of two previous Sechskies members Jang Suwon and Kim Jaeduck) to form a project band, JnC. After JnC, member Kim Tae Hyung left the group to pursue personal interests.
In 2006, Click-B (with the previous arrangement of 3 remaining members Oh Jong-hyuk, Woo Yun-suk and Kim Sang-hyuk) released their 5th album "Smile".{{cite web|url=http://mnet.interest.me/album/119228|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130616145822/http://mnet.interest.me/album/119228|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 16, 2013|title=Entry at Mnet|access-date=2013-05-24|language=ko}}
In 2011, Click-B (with all seven members) got together for a brief comeback with two new singles, "To Be Continued" in April and "빈 자리 (Empty Seat)" in November.{{cite web|url=http://www.allkpop.com/article/2011/04/8-years-later-click-b-reunites-to-make-their-comeback|title=8 years later, Click-B reunites to make their comeback|date=2011-04-07|access-date=2013-05-24}}{{cite web|url=http://mnet.interest.me/album/217796|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130616145745/http://mnet.interest.me/album/217796|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 16, 2013|title=Listing at Mnet|access-date=2013-05-24|language=ko}}{{cite web|url=http://mnet.interest.me/album/235758|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130703025803/http://mnet.interest.me/album/235758|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 3, 2013|title=Listing at Mnet|access-date=2013-05-24|language=ko}}
On December 14, 2013, DSP Media organized a concert 'DSP Festival' at Jamshil Arena where Click-B performed as a group along with other artists under the same management. A few members were absent for various reasons: Evan (Yoo Ho-suk) was still serving his military obligation, Kim Sang-hyuk was on hiatus from the entertainment industry and Kang Hoo (Kim Tae-hyung) was busy with his acting career.{{cite web|url=http://www.soompi.com/2013/12/03/kara-rainbow-a-jax-and-oh-jong-hyuk-wants-to-see-you-at-the-dsp-festival/#.U0bq0uJhCW8|title=Kara, Rainbow, A-Jax, and Oh Jong Hyuk Wants to See You at the DSP Festival|date=2013-12-03|access-date=2014-04-10}}{{cite web|url=http://www.soompi.com/2013/12/07/click-b-releases-a-photo-of-their-concert-practice-11-years-later/#.U0bomuJhCW8|title=Click-B Releases a Photo of Their Concert Practice, 11 Years Later|date=2013-12-07|access-date=2014-04-10}}
