Ahyoomee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ahyoomee Lee (Hangul: ì´ ì•„ìœ ë¯¸, born August 25, 1984) is a K-pop singer, dropping her surname for the music industry. Although Korean, she was raised in Japan for much of her younger life and is the reason for her Japanese accent; Ahyoomee is now fluent in both languages. Although Ahyoomee’s name is commonly believed to be Japanese in origin, she has explained that her name is hanja-based. She has also attended Korea Kent Foreign School.
Music
Ahyoomee stated on the 66th episode of SBS’s Xman that she was discovered at a H.O.T. concert. The singer debuted in 2002 as part of the girl group Sugar, contributing to their four albums. She has recently branched out as a solo artist, releasing two digital singles. The first, a cover of the theme song for Cutie Honey (also covered by Koda Kumi), came out in the summer of 2006 with a lot of fanfare, as Ahyoomee was criticized for her heavy accent and the overall Japanese feel of performances on the various Korean music shows. However, the song became a hit online, and Lee performed the song for much of the summer. Her second digital single, “ìž˜ëª»ëœ ë§Œë‚¨” (Wrongful Meeting) was released in early November of 2006, and is a cover of Kim Gun Mo’s hit from 1995.
