Lee Hi: 20 on Billboard 21 Under 21 (2013)

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

Last Year's Rank: N/A

Birthdate: September 23, 1996 (Age 17)

Why She's Hot: During the past 12 months, K-pop newcomer Lee Hi racked up chart successes rivaling established Korean idols. The soulful vocalist first appeared on the K-Pop Hot 100 in October via a collabo with hip-hop trio Epik High, "It's Cold," a No. 1 hit. Lee Hi followed up with her Duffy-esque debut solo single "1,2,3,4," ruling three weeks atop the K-Pop chart. Fast-forward to March, throwback-inspired LP "First Love" spawned two additional K-Pop smashes: The catchy, No. 4-peaking "It's Over"; and melancholic dance track "Rose," her third No. 1. Plus, the songbird performed with PSY at his Happening Concert, where he unveiled his record-breaking "Gentleman" video.

Cant wait for her next record. First Love was amazng (faves are 1234,Fool for Love and Because).Hopefully her stage presences has improved some since her last promo cycle.
I keep forgetting how young she is.Only 16 and already kicking ass.

I feel so old when I see those 16 year olds looking so grown up

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

your icon unf

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

he is the reason I'm so attached to Win tbh

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

I'm recently crushing on him unf
He's so good looking and a good rapper.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

he reminds me of top so much and He is the reason I got into kpop against my better judgement

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I'm only a few months older than her and I feel like a failure when I see her slaying

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

then what about me -21, college graduate, jobless- how should I feel?

[150daysoffall.livejournal.com]

I'm still listening to First Love. The 2nd part is my fav actually.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Her stuff was pretty great. Am I Strange was perfection.

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

am i strange is my favorite too.

[tees2mai.livejournal.com]

her album was so good, esp "crush" (which should've been the title track imo) and "am i strange".

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

omg yea i agree crush is sooo good, i want to see her perform it live at least once.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

I hope they have a family concert soon and that she will perform in it coz i don't see her headlining a tour right now

[tees2mai.livejournal.com]

she performed it on a radio show once but the video's been deleted, unfortunately :(

[chibiyunie.livejournal.com]

Haven't had the chance to listen to the full album yet but "Rose" is still one of my favorite songs of the year. The way she sings it and the lyrics are so fricking beautiful and flawless <3

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

Listen to it it's flawless

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

irk. Teddy's best song in a while.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

I think you really should give it a try. one of my fave kpop album of all time i think

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

I think it doesn't sound too kpop and that's why I like it

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

you're right. it definitely doesn't sound like most of the other kpop songs. it's more like regular rnb, jazzy kind of songs i guess.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

yes I never want her to do the kpopy songs I want jazz and rnb plz

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

i am absolutely in love with her releases so far, i can't wait for new stuff~

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

When are they planning to release her new stuff like idt it's gonna be this year at all with how the things run in YG

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

yeah, probably not for awhile but i hope they don't wait too long. they should give her a CF deal or contribute to an OST since i just read that that's how you stay relevant to the rest of the country.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

they should make her the new queen of osts if they are smart

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

Well at least you're assured that YG wouldn't be overworking her like other rookies are, constantly releasing stuff to stay relevant. Maybe YG will be releasing Akdong's album first? They're contractually obligated to release an album within 1 year of finishing Kpop Star right?

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

well can't they work a place between overworked and being locked in the basement?!

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I've checked out that billboard list and many of them look WAY older ._. God, even that 10 y/o kid look 13-14 o_O.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

Ikr I thought lorde was in her 30s tbh and she is 16

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Same here. I thought she was at least 25, but she's only 16 o_o. I don't know why some people age so badly :/

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

But sometimes they'd have like that same adult face for like forever, and when they reach their 40s/50s or something people will be saying that their aging great!

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

when I was 14 people always thought i was 20 or something but now i'm 21 but people say i have the face of a highschooler~ I will never understand people (likedo i look old or do i look young?!!!)

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

she looks way older than 17

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

probably to make us elderly people feel better

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

aw

she's so sweet

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

if anything it makes me feel bad coz if 17yo look this old then i look ancient

[jaesoe.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize she's 17 O.o

Love her voice, love her face, love some of her songs, but she needs more stage present..oh well, she's young

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

My boo <3
I love her stuff. I hope YG doesn't fuck it up with her.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

I hope YG retires and leaves the company to SR to run it

[21banged.livejournal.com]

AMEN

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

you know SR is already preparing himself
