♪♫♪Yeah~
All my ladies and gents
Here comes the new Hyori!
Are you ready to rumble!♪♫♪

Referred to as the “Queen Diva”, Lee Hyori, now 30, made a successful comeback this year to reclaim her throne.

But before becoming the Queen of K-pop, she was an adoring princess from the popular and now defunct all girl group “Fin.K.L.”.

“To My Boyfriend” was released as the second single from their first album Blue Rain. It became the first of their numerous number one hits.

At 2003, Hyori decided that it would be in her best interest to pursue a solo career away from her fellow girl group members and  she released her first solo album “Stylish…E”. This was a breakout year for her and media also dubbed it as the “Year of the Hyori”. The first single was “10 Minutes” and the album sold more than 170,000 copies in South Korea.

By then it was clear that Hyori  was the main attraction of the group and following a number of album releases and TV and commercial appearance, she has sort to take the global entertainment scene by appearing in programs outside of Korea.

Her latest album “H-Logic” was released on April of 2010. Her single “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” made it to #1 in the charts upon release, and the MV of the song received a lot of good reviews.

Since she started off with Fin.K.L., she has become the highest-paid female singer in South Korea. She’s back and will continue to reign the K-pop scene for years to come.
