lee junghyun names girls' generation as her top rival

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

The singer Lee Junghyun who has made a flashy comeback with a new album after 2 years and 7 months picked SNSD as her top rival.

Lee Junghyun appeared on KBS 'Celebrity News' on the 23rd and expressed her overwhelming thoughts on making a comeback in the national music industry. When the reporter asked how she was during the break, she replied, "I worked as a patriot of Korea in China. I earned lots of foreign currency also" and "I've gotten lots of fans due to lots of activity in China."

Lee Junghyun who is facing her 14th year since her debut stated, "My rival is SNSD. But I think I have a stronger charisma" and "When I was that age, I was scary and interesting instead of fresh" as she reminisced about her debut period.

Lee Junghyun is making a comeback to the Korean industry with her newly released album.

The title song 'Crazy' was written by the hit song writer who wrote SNSD's 'Gee'. The write, E-Tribe, was in charge of writing and producing the song and when the audition for the making of the music video was held, over 400 dancers signed up for the audition after just listening to the chorus part of the song. The song presents a strong and trendy sound. Also the song is a unique mix of R&B with hip-hop which was hard to come across in Korea and is something to be anticipating about.

I would think so, particularly with Son Dambi. Their styles are very similar, no? Maybe I'm just judging by Saturday Night. But yeah 8D idk.

8D It's really hard for me to believe she's been around as long as she has. She *does* look incredibly young.

>>; Yeah, I'm not sure where the R&B and hip-hop is coming from. Not to mention that's not really SoShi's style at all anyway

lol I think the comparisons are silly, because LJH has definitely been around long before Lady Gaga got big/became mainstream. But people rarely take the facts of chronology or time into consideration when they make comparisons - they only think whatever they saw first came first.

lol dayum

but lee junghyun can be that old and still look like this? 8D idek how that's possible.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

8D but 29 is so oooooooooooold

xD lol i am such a five year old.

but yeah, i think it helps how she presents herself. when i first saw her, though, i couldn't believe she was more than 22. that was a couple years ago, though.

lol isn't it weird to say your biggest rival is SNSD, then reflect on how you were when you were their age? (especially when your songwriter is their songwriter too?)

and whats with all these female celebs saying they're more 'whatever' than (insert rival's name)?

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

maybe the comparison is because of the songwriter? yeah idk how she's comparing herself to them at all. though she and the group both have a very young, fresh look to them?

[fashionbang.livejournal.com]

im confused, how old is she?
if i was a solo act like her i just wouldn't want to really compare myself to a what 13-member group of young girls? i dunno. thats just me. (either way i don't really follow her or snsd so..)

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

she's 29 years old 8D but she's known for being very cute and young looking

[jessilestrange.livejournal.com]

Holy shi-
No she is not!

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

yep 29

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

lol i didn't hear about her until... o was dropped? because yunho was making appearances on xman and she was one of the regular guests.

[canyoucelebrate.livejournal.com]

Cue insane SNSD fans taking this the wrong way and verbally murdering her.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

lol i think it's more likely they'd be wtf because the comparisons don't make sense

[x-neverbroken.livejournal.com]

her mini album is fierce as hale, i love her. it's kind weird that she would pick snsd as her rival though.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

yeah 8D it's also weird to hear her album described as r&b and hiphop

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

o rly? idk i've only heard crazy.

[hater-traitor.livejournal.com]

uh... no. def not rivals. i heart you lee jung hyun, but make some sense girl.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

8D there's a lot of stuff that doesn't really make sense in this article

[littleoldmanboy.livejournal.com]

o i thought she was like 39

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

*dies*

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

crazy is such a shitty song and her voice is horrid

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

i finally listened to crazy and gotta say i'm not mad for it

i do like some of her other songs, though, that she performed on xman.

[subpain.livejournal.com]

It seems like she's just fishing for attention by saying stuff like that, tbh.

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

eh, IA. It seems so strange to be comparing herself to SNSD.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

She will need much catchier songs if she's going to be rival for SNSD.
