Why I love Lee Hyori!
All about Hyori through my eyesLee Hyori (Korean 이효리, pronounced "E You Ree") is currently, and has been called for many years before, the Queen of Korean pop. She's born on May 10, 1979 in Cheongwon, a small city located in central South Korea. At age 19, in 1998 Hyori made a major step by joining a Korean girl group Fin K.L., who was extremely successful. Hyori was already outstanding in that time, her talents were noticed by many critics. In 2003 the group split up, although not officially. Some girls started to release their own albums, Hyori was among them. That's where Hyori's rise to fame has begun!1
HYORI AND I: I started to listen to Hyori in 2008, when she released one of her top hits U-Go-Girl. I remember watching Arirang, the Korean TV channel, that broadcasts outside of Korea, in English. They have a show called Pops in Seoul, where they show all the current top hits from Korea. When I saw that video, I was totally captivated. Not only was the song catchy, but Hyori looked so sexy, I thought she's out of this world. After I've seen that video, I started to google info about her, listen to some of her older songs and I was like: Wow, this girl can sing. And that's how I started to listen to her, I've become a fan. Although I admire her as an artist and I'm also a big fan of her radiant beauty (hey, I'm just a man after all), I'm still reasonable and don't take my admiration too far into some kind of creepy obsession. I love my girlfriend and Hyori will never replace her. I remember my girl once asking me, if I had a chance of spending a night with Hyori (in the case Hyori would want it, lol), would I sleep with her? I said no in an instant. Not even in theory I would betray my girl, even if she'd permit me. No way. Would you? (Women and their theoretical questions... sheesh... :-P)
HYORI'S BEST OF: Here's a list of my favorite songs from Hyori. If you're a fan, you know what I'm talking about. Let's start from 2003, from her first Album Stylish E. Hey Girl and 10 Minutes rock my world from the first album, but I also love Do Me and One Two Thre N'Four. From 2004-2005 I love Cleopatra and Together (this one especially is one of my all time favs) and of course AnyMotion, AnyStar and AnyClub. I really love the videos to the latter 3 songs, Hyori acts amazingly well. Then came 2006 and her second album Dark Angel. I love Get Ya and the video to the song. Woohoo, she's looks hot, although the style is not my favorite. I like Straight Up (and the video is lovely), Winter Freshness and EMMM. Then came 2007 and Toc Toc Toc, also one of Hyori's all time greatest songs. I love this one, too. In 2008 came It's Hyorish, a great album, where I truly love every song. And she also wrote some of the songs herself. I think U-Go-Girl will always remain my no 1, because that's how I noticed her. A special mention deserve the songs Unrivaled Lee Hyori, Lesson, A Barbershop's Daughter, PPP and My Life. Then came 2010 and I was so lucky to get her new awesome album H.Logic during my trip to Seoul. I love all the songs, it's really her best album so far. And the best songs are Scandal, Highlight and Get 2 Know, well, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is not bad either and deserves to be mentioned. Hyori is rightfully the Queen of Kpop and for me the best Korean female artist there is. It'll need years for someone to replace her. Hope that doesn't happen soon.
THAT'S WHY I LOVE HYORI, TOO: Here are some of my favorite photos of her.
