Discovery is the debut studio album by K-pop girl group, Jewelry. It was released on March 30, 2001 on Star Empire Entertainment.

K-pop is a genre of popular music originating in South Korea. While the modern form of K-pop can be traced back to the early 90s, the term itself has been popularized since the 2000s, replacing the term Gayo (가요), which also refers to domestic pop music in South Korea. Although it generally indicates "popular music" within South Korea, the term is often used in a narrower sense to describe a modern form of South Korean pop that is influenced by styles and genres from around the world, such as experimental, jazz, gospel, hip hop, R&B, reggae, electronic dance, folk, country, and classical on top of its traditional Korean music roots. The more modern form of the genre emerged with the formation of one of the earliest K-pop groups, Seo Taiji and Boys, in 1992. Their experimentation with different styles and genres of music and integration of foreign musical elements helped reshape and modernize South Korea's contemporary music scene.

A girl group is a music act featuring several female singers who generally harmonize together. The term "girl group" is also used in a narrower sense in the United States to denote the wave of American female pop music singing groups, many of whom were influenced by doo-wop and which flourished in the late 1950s and early 1960s between the decline of early rock and roll and start of the British Invasion. All-female bands, in which members also play instruments, are usually considered a separate phenomenon. These groups are sometimes called "girl bands" to differentiate, although this terminology is not universally followed.

Overview

Discovery marks the start of Jewelry's career. Members of the group at this time were Park Jung-ah, Lee Ji-hyun, Jung Yoo-jin, and Jun Eun-mi. Jewelry's current image was lovable and cutesy, and the album was full of cute pop songs about love and relationships. Because of the simplistic concept of the album, sales were less than spectacular, and is deemed as Jewelry's worst album to date, mainly because of the poor vocals, and Park Jung Ah's vocals were heavily emphasized, while the other members vocals were blended together as one. Promoted songs from this album were 사랑해 (I Love You) and 이젠 (Yet). After promotion of the album was finished, Jung Yoo Jin and Jun Eun Mi were replaced with Cho Min-ah and Seo In-young, and the new formation begun working on their next album.
