I found this sort of interesting, with a lot of stuff I didn't know.

Sea, Eugene, and Shoo are the three female members of SES. You may have
noticed that the initials of each of their names is the basis of their
group name. The group came into existance through auditions held by the
Korean company SM Entertainment, who was looking to form a new girl
group to complement their already popular male Korean pop group, H.O.T.
When the three were chosen to form this new female group, Shoo said
that they were really close friends during the auditions, and that they
were always together. So when they heard that they were all chosen,
they were very excited and happy. It sounds like it was meant to be.
After a year, they debuted with an album titled 'S.E.S1' in late 1997.
The title song from the album, "(Cause) I'm Your Girl," became an
instant hit. Until then, no female group in Korea was ever able to
achieve such popularity. SES' success fueled the creation of many other
girl groups, such as FinKL (Fine Killing Liberty), Baby V.O.X. and
more. Near the end of 1998, SES had made their mark in Japan as well,
with the release of their debut japanese single "Meguriau Sekai.".
Having been born in Japan, Shoo is fluent in Japanese and so was the
main voice of the group as they made their rounds in Japan. The other
two, Eugene and Sea, began to learn Japanese in the middle of 1998. I
remember watching them on Hey! Hey! Hey!, seeing Shoo doing most of the
talking with Eugene and Sea doing a lot of nodding and saying the
Japanese phrases they knew at the appropriate times. Also, it must've
been quite a change for them performing in Japan, as unlike in Korea
where everything's lip-synced, they actually had to sing for reals when
they performed live. So for the first time, I actually heard them miss
some notes.
Early in 1999, SES went to Taiwan to hold a concert. Although they've
only visited Taiwan three times, they're purportedly quite popular over
there now too. As no one in the group can speak Chinese, they opted to
release their Korean and Japanese works there instead.
All in all, S.E.S has released 3 Korean albums, 7 Japanese singles and
3 Japanese albums so far. Their 4th Korean album is in the works and
we're looking forward to its release!
