슈아이 SHU-I

Short form for So Hot Union of Idols, SHU-I signals the coming of a new breed of idol group. Five members of the group have trained for their debut for the past two years and their long training has put them in a level above other run-of-the-mill idol groups. Their single album features powerful rhythm and refined adaptation. Anyone who hears the album will be hooked onto the easy-listening melody. Since their debut on TV in mid-September, the group has been gaining attention of the younger generation.

박효신 Park Hyo Shin

Park Hyo-shin is a singer who has a deep and appealing voice that attracts many people to his songs. Rather than banking on his fame, Park likes to let himself be known as a singer with real talent. Just listening to his deep and appealing voice, many wouldn’t be able to guess that he’s only 23 years old. Maybe that’s why his fan demographic ranges from teenagers to thirty-somethings. Park has been training himself hard to become a top singer ever since he was 16. Park stood out as a promising talent by winning top prizes in various song competitions. Finally in January of 2000, Park made his debut as a professional singer with “Things I Cannot Do For You”. Upon his debut, he attracted attention and was praised by many people. From his debut album, two songs, “Things I Cannot Do For You” and “Fool”, recorded hits instantly, marking him up as one of the most exciting musicians to step to the forefront of the industry in recent times. Later, Park Hyo-shin actively performed in various events like participating in the musical “Rock Hamlet”, a tribute album for Deulgukhwa, “That Only Is My World” and as duetting with Lee Sora on her 4th album. In January of 2001, Park released his second album “Second Story”, in which top songwriters like Yoon Sang, Kim Dong-ryul and Yoo Hee-yeol participated, eliciting great responses from music lovers.

포미닛 (4minute)

The five-girl group “4minute” was so named to mean “showing everything within four minutes” and “expressing the perfection of the moment.” The musical style of the most anticipated new girl group of the 2009 is said to be candy funky, which supposedly expresses their sweetness and offbeat nature. Their single “Hot Issue” embodies the retro feel of the 1980s and 90s, but also mixes in a healthy dose of today’s unfettered rap, creating a new, fresh musical trend. They’re the group to watch in 2009.
