10 years, Hwayobi reached her 10 years since debut.

Her debut...
The fans went wild after listening to her debut song ‘Lie’ in 2000. She was 18, but the title of R&B queen was not to be regretted. That was how an outstanding young talented female singer who can represent Republic of Korea was born. Let’s recall Hwayobi in the past 10 years.

“I have faced many difficulties debuting at a very young age. It was tiring but now I have become indifferent/numb(used to it). 10 years may not seem like a big number, but I am proud to be able to make regular album in a long time.” she comfortably said.

On “We Got Married”…
There are masses of people who had difficulty in accepting Hwayobi but they rejoice at the MBC’s “We Got Married” coupling of Hwayobi and Hwanhee. Wacky Hwayobi has gained  popularity. Hwayobi said, “We got married” has a wide fan base. I am not 4-Dimensional, anyway I have peculiar expressions..(laughing) yet lovingly thank you for that” with a smile. She think of it as a way of  entertainment for those who watched “We got married”. It is well received because “We Got Married” doesn’t have any script. I am not good at production” in laid back manner.

On her relationship…
After “We Got Married”, Hwayobi has been with her real boyfriend. Hwayobi’s boyfriend, Sleepy has been announced to the public. The mass tried to applause when the couple had a kissing scene for the music video. She said that nowadays they can’t meet often because of individuals busy schedules.

On her new album…
The latest album 7th album, includes 10 songs written and 6 songs composed by her. Her boyfriend didn’t take part in the album because the music orientation is different. She said, “I want to do something that I clearly have and this time the technic is that I should refrain from. The kind that I would like to perform live in concerts.”

She also mentioned that during her comeback, Gummy, Lyn and those young idols will be performing. So instead of thinking of them as rivals, she would love to perform together with them and enjoy performing with the junior singers.

Seeing both Hwanhee and Hwayobi being chart toppers, I bet there are many fans who are hoping that they will have a duet someday. As we have witnessed that their duet chemistry is remarkable. It will definitely be a chart topper. I do hope that one day these two with heavenly voices will work together again to produce a beautiful duet. Are you missing their duets ?
