Lee Hyori’s comeback could be postponed to next yearby leesa86 - Jul 12, 2012 at 6:35 pmThe release date of the Sexy Queen Lee Hyori‘s new solo album may once again be postponed.Originally, Hyori had planned on releasing a new album earlier this summer to make her comeback as a recording artist. However, the album release was pushed back to this fall, and now it looks as though it will be difficult for her to release anything new this year.An insider from Hyori’s agency B2M Entertainment remarked, “We are still working on releasing a new album, however, we have not finished gathering all the songs for the album and have still been unable to begin recording. At this rate, it may become difficult to release anything at all this year.”Knowing Lee Hyori’s perfectionist personality, the insider may be right. “We have yet to receive a song that [Hyori] likes,” the insider continued. “Hyori seeks perfection in everything she does, so she will not rush herself trying to release a new album in a hurry. Her being busy filming her new show ‘Golden 12‘ is another reason why the album got pushed back.”But a new release isn’t completely out of the question. It’s possible for them to begin recording the minute they find a song they feel is ‘daebak‘.“In the end, Hyori will be making all of the final decisions,” the insider added.Lee Hyori has temporarily stepped away from the music scene after her album ‘H Logic‘ release back in April of 2010 was swept up in a plagiarism scandal, and her temporary break had undoubtedly had affected the activities of other female solo artists.Representatives from the music industry are highly anticipating Lee Hyori’s comeback, as the market is currently being dominated by idol groups. A comeback by a sexy female solo artist such as Lee Hyori to the current music scene will not only help other female artists, it can be a chance for other genres of music to finally find some room to make a break through.In related news, Hyori began hosting her new show ‘You & I‘ with Jung Jae Hyung in February.Source & Image: SportsChosun via Nate
Out of all this week’s stories, up tomorrow in the Korean Gender Reader, probably one of the most important — but also the most under-appreciated — is the news that Lee Hyori (이효리) will no longer be doing any commercials for products that conflict with her animal rights, environmental, and/or vegetarian beliefs.This excludes her from working with so many companies, that her agency had to clarify that she hadn’t given up modelling or endorsements altogether.Certainly, she’s already well known — and liked — for being so outspoken and sassy, which is very rare for female celebrities here. But this is still a significant step, because it’s difficult to think of any other Korean celebrity explicitly rejecting the endorsement culture upon which their agencies so heavily depend. Let alone someone who was once the country’s biggest sex-symbol.
