Turtles (Korean: 거북이) was a South Korean hip-hop group which debuted in 2001. The single "Airplane" (bihaengi) from their fourth album topped the KBS chart in September 2006.[1]

The lead singer and rapper of the group, "Turtleman" (born Lim Sung-hoon), died of a heart attack on April 2, 2008; he was found by his manager at his apartment.[2]

On September 4, 2008, the remaining members (Geum Bi and Z-E) announced their official disbandment.[3] On April 2, 2011, the group released "Aigoo", a posthumous single found on Turtleman's computer.[4] On April 18, 2011, they announced they would be returning on April 28, with a new male vocalist and single titled "Protagonist".[5]
