[NEWS] Lee Hyori deserves encouragement on her current relationship

Singer Lee Hyo Ri is now in a relationship.

Her relationship with a singer-songwriter Lee Sang Soon is becoming a hot issue in the entertainment world since Lee has been popular and loved by many people regardless their age for the past decade.

Let’s take a close look of Lee Hyo Ri. She was just a high school student when casted by an entertainment agency for her good-looks in late 1990s. Lee soon debuted as Fin.K.L with Ok Ju Hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yuri in 1998.

Fin.K.L was featured as a group of “fairies” which seemed to be popped out of a fairy tale, earning tremendous popularity and building rival relationship with S.E.S. The group’s popularity must have been similar to the one of SNSD, the Wonder Girls, 2NE1, T-ara, and 4Minute today. If the Internet was more accessible by that time, Fin.K.L must have become even more popular.

The leader of that popular group was Lee Hyo Ri.

Many fans were interested in her because she had the best looks and talents. Because the agencies of those years were not as systematic as now, Fin.K.L was tempted to sign a contract with other agencies that came up with better deals when it finished activities of its first and second album.

However, Fin.K.L did not budge, and there was Lee Hyo Ri at the center.

As the group wrapped up its activities, members gathered to discuss over changing agency to the one that suggested a better deal. Lee did not learn about this topic until the meeting, and as soon as she heard of it, she left the room saying, “We wouldn’t have been able to come this far if it weren’t the boss and agency we’re now in. How dare you guys to think of signing a contract with other agencies?”

Daesung Planning, the agency which Fin.K.L worked with, did not have an official contract, so it could not pose a problem legally even if the group leaves the agency. However, Lee chose to be loyal and grateful. Fin.K.L’s other members eventually agreed with her and chose to be loyal, and their decision brought them a lasting life on TV.

Clearly, Lee had a strong sense of loyalty, but at the same time, she was very sensitive over many people’s eyes constantly watching her. Lee was too young to overcome and enjoy other’s attention in her early 20s.

Lee looks strong on the outside, but she gets hurt easily by vicious comments and articles. According to people who have known her for a long time say that Lee has cried a lot over those comments. If you take a step closer, you can see a tender-hearted star within her. She has been this way since 2003 when she released her first single, Ten Minutes.

Fans’ positive and negative attention both have contributed to Lee’s popularity and wealth today. Because she is “almost” a public figure, she might as well need to endure some of harsh critiques; that way, she can improve herself to become a better entertainer. But the equation “Lee Hyo Ri = I Hate Her” can never be justified, and it’s reasonable to be hurt by these postings because she is an ordinary women in her 30s when she is off-stage and camera.

Since her debut, it’s first time for Lee Hyo Ri to actually admit her relationship.

Regarding her present age, it is hard to say that she hasn’t been involved in any relationships before. However, looking back to the fact that she has not approved any relationships since the age of nineteen to this day, it is clear that she showed some courage this time. It means she needs some cheers from her fans. She may be crying already over some harsh comments.

Of course, this relationship might not continue and she could break up, but if you are her fan, you should hope that she keep her “Hyorish,” confident attitude and focus on her present love. Because she has made many people happy with her talents for the last ten years, those people are now encouraging her. There are many fans on her side.

The ‘Sexy Icon’ Lee Hyori (32) is dating the band Roller Coaster’s Lee Sang Soon (37). It has been reported that the two have met while working on their music and began to date soon after. The report has been confirmed by close associates of the two and from the on-location investigation done by Sports Seoul.

The two have met while working on the song, ‘Remember’, to help raise awareness about abandoned pets back in July. They hit it off right away and have been secretly dating for the past 4 months.

Lee Hyori has been rumored to be dating singer Kim Dong Ryul, but she was actually busy dating Lee Sang Soon. Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon both have busy schedules, so the couple mostly met at nights after finishing up their daily schedules. They would usually meet up at a park nearby Lee Hyori’s home wearing comfortable clothes and they walked their dogs together, go on a drive together and at times went to the theater. The two drove around in an inexpensive vehicle and you could hardly tell they were celebrities. Lee Hyori’s good friend, singer Jung Jae Hyung had also joined on the date a few times.

The two share a common interest, the love for animals and it seems like that is the pillar of their relationship. Lee Sang Soon comfortably went in and out of Lee Hyori’s home even when she wasn’t around and he would walk her dog as if he’d always done it. The two would wear comfortable training suits for the most part and they would always have conversation about animals. They frequented places where there weren’t many prying eyes.

A close associate stated, “The two have known one another for quite some time through their mutual friends Kim Dong Ryul, Jung Jae Hyung, and Lee Juk. However, they started to develop feelings for each other only after learning of their common interest of animal protection”.

While working on the song ‘Remember’, which sends the message to care for abandoned animals, the two had learned that they both were long time members of KARA, an animal protection agency run by civilians. Their similar values led to forming a strong trust and bond between the two and it eventually lead to the two falling in love.

Sooshim is always present on their dates, Soonshim of course is the famous dog of Lee Hyori, which has been adopted by her after being abandoned by its original owner. Another associate stated, “They look glamorous on stage, but in their daily lives and especially when they are on dates, the two are such down to earth people. Their favorite activity is walking Soonshim at the park”.

Lee Sang Soon’s personality is one of the traits that has attracted Lee Hyori. He’s a man of few words, but his thoughts are deep and insightful and he’s the sort of man who gets thing done. Close associates swear they had not known of the couple’s relationship, but they are happy to learn such good people are an item now.

Lee Sang Soon debuted as Roller Coaster in 1999 and his last project was with Kim Dong Ryul in 2010, the ‘Veranda Project’. He went to school in Amsterdam, Netherlands and he is considered to be one of the most skilled musicians in Korea.

People are voicing their opinions and saying, “I don’t know why it’s the day of the Millennium, its not every thousand years, but every hundred“, “It’s not even an important day like Mother’s or Father’s Day. They are making a big deal out of this, making us feel obligated to buy gifts for others“.

Netizens who saw Hyori’s tweet commented, “I feel like we’re congratulating the major companies that sell holiday goods“, “I agree. My parents told me not to buy anything today“, and “I think I may order some rice cakes and use it as an opportunity to do something nice for the community“.

Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine’s Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date “11/11″ resembles four sticks of Pepero. The holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts.” – Wikipedia
