Young Turks Club, also known as YTC, is a five-member Korean idol group that debuted in 1996. The group was produced by Lee Juno from Seo Taiji and Boys and had Lim Sung-eun, Song Jin-ah, Han Hyun-nam, Ji Joon-goo, and Choi Seung-min as its original members. As the word "turk" means "young dynamic person eager for change", their name Young Turks Club means "a group of active young people eager to change." On July 9, 1996, they made their debut stage on KMTV's Show! Music Tank with "Peek", the song didn't achieve success and failed to gain interest from the general public. They quickly changed to "Affection" a week later and rose to stardom. Their song "Affection" was their first release to become widely popular in Korea. In a 2023 post by Rolling Stone, the song was ranked number 58 in The 100 Best Korean Pop Songs Of All Time.
The group won the new artist award at the Seoul Music Awards in 1996.
