Lee Hyori is a member of the Korean pop group Fin. K.L. but also went solo in 2003, Fin. K.L. stands for “Fine Killing Liberty”, which loosely translates into the “fin” (i.e the end) of “liberty killing,” which means that the girls will stand up against and put an end to anything that will “kill (our) liberty.” The name was chosen for the band by DSP Entertainment even before the members were chosen. Lee Hyori, who would become the group leader due to Lee Hyori being the oldest, was discovered while taking sticker pictures with her friends and was actually the last to join the group, just before their launch in January 1998. Fin. K.L. debuted officially on May 22, 1998 with their first single “Blue Rain.” It was received quite well, but it was not until their second release from their first album: To My Boyfriend, that Fin. K.L. truly proved their popularity and “To My Boyfriend” became the first of their numerous number 1 hits. Following their fourth album Forever, Hyori launched her solo career: first as an MC, of “Time Machine” and “Happy Together” and then with the release of her first album, Stylish E.
Lee Hyori swept the Daesangs, the most prestigious of Korean music awards, of 2003, winning more than 7 ‘artist of the year’ awards. Her first solo album, Stylish E, sold more than 170,000 copies in Korea alone. She also appeared as the lead female actress in the SBS drama Three Leaf Clover co-starring opposite Ryu Jin, Kim Jung Hwa, Kim Kang Woo & Lee Hoon. Hyori’s popularity, in her various activities, eventually came to be dubbed as “Hyori Syndrome” in South Korea, and the Korean Media nicknamed 2003 “The Year of Hyori” as she was rarely out of the news all year.
While the debut solo album of her teammate Oak Joo-hyun has been so well received, it is high time Lee Hyo-lee, who is the leader of the Korean female quartet Fin.K.L. (Fine Killing Liberty), bombarded the Korean music industry with her premier work “Lee Hyo Lee Vol.1″!
August in 2003 seems to a year full of new surprises for Hyo-lee (a.k.a Chori). It is the month not only for her solo album to be released but also for her debut movie “Sam Soo Sang’s Love Story” to begin shooting in which she plays YooNi, an innocent and beautiful art student. As the first project to be presented between her two debuts, this very first album abounds in musical genres of different sorts including hip-hop, funky, dance, ballad, trendy R & B, trance and many more. Together with her own contribution, Hyo-lee this time is joined by Ahn Jung-hoon, the former Position member, as the producer, Cho Kyu-man, Kim Do-hyun, Yun Il-sang, Lee Hyun-do and a lot more top elite in the local industry.
This lady representing the color of red in Fin.K.L. is not going to spare her red hot heat in the summer of 2003 and all that begins with her title track “10 Minutes”, a mid-tempo hip-hop tune with overwhelming background music and groovy rhythm that keeps your body moving along.
Did you know That Hyolee can drink a lot? She’s friendly and very open. She likes asian-americans and loves to dance!
