BIOGRAPHY

Lee Hyori was member of Korean pop girls group Fin.K.L. (Fine Killing Liberty) that debuted in 1998. FinKL later went dormant when 2 of the 4 girls decided not to pursue a singing career.

It was Oak Joo-hyun who first introduced her successful solo album before Lee Hyori solo debut that rocked the Korean music industry in 2003, with her album “Stylish E.”

Stylish E was a superhit, and Hyori went on to grabs 7 music awards at the prestigious Daesangs 2003.

In 2003, Hyori also starred in TV drama, “Three Leaf Clover,” and was quite a success as well. Hyori dominated the Korean entertainment arena that year, the Korean media actually joked that 2003 is “The Year of Hyori.”

Lee Hyori and former members for FinKL gathered shortly again in 2005 to produce an album before Chori released her 2nd solo album, “Dark Angel” in February 2006.

Hyori’s 2nd solo album however sparked some controversies with accusation of plagarism. Apparently her single “Get Ya” sounded too similar with a Britney Spears song, the issue was already settled and Dark Angel was quite a success with some great dance hits.
