Black Eyed Pilseung (Korean: 블랙아이드필승; lit. "Black Eyed Victory") is a South Korean music production and songwriting duo made up of Rado (Song Joo-young) and Choi Kyu-sung, formed in 2014.[1][2] They have produced hit songs such as Sistar's "Touch My Body"; Miss A's "Only You"; Twice's "Like Ooh-Ahh", "Cheer Up", "TT", "Likey", and "Fancy"; and Apink's "I'm So Sick", "Eung Eung", and "Dumhdurum".[3][4][5][6]

Before the duo's formation, both members often collaborated with Shinsadong Tiger. Rado worked on hit songs such as 4Minute's "Volume Up", Apink's "My My" and "Hush", and Trouble Maker's "Trouble Maker" and "Now", while Choi Kyu-sung was involved in T-ara's "Roly-Poly", Hyuna's "Bubble Pop", and Beast's "Fiction".

In August 2017, the duo joined forces with CJ E&M to launch a new entertainment company called High-Up Entertainment,[7] which became an independent company in 2018. In February 2019, the duo debuted their first boy duo 415 (Korean: 사이로).[8] In November 2020, the duo debuted their first girl group STAYC (Korean: 스테이씨).[9]
