Korean pop star Lee Hyori was in Japan for series of event. She was in SG Wanna Be’s Japan concert on June 3, and then attended press conference for her latest TV drama “If In Love Like Them” on June 4.

Japanese press named Hyori the ‘next Koda Kumi’… not sure if it’s a good thing; I am never a fan of Koda Kumi although she is the top Japanese pop star at the moment.

Hyori, soooo HOT!
June 7th, 2007 at 2:23 pm
really? i live in japan but i didnt even hear this on news.
dont think she’s that popular here.
June 7th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Is it? Well, we can’t actually compare her with Koda Kumi or Ayumi… Hyori is a newbie in terms of Japanese entertainment world.
June 7th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
shes kinda dark for a krn.
June 7th, 2007 at 9:18 pm
Her dark skin is sort of her trademark actually… some people are getting tired with the typical white beauties.
June 7th, 2007 at 11:57 pm
She is pretty but i think she is somewhat overrated. As far as talent goes I think Korea has some much better musicians. But if you look at her as a pop idol type I guess you can compare her to them. Though I think they are much more talented.

she is pretty but sometimes she dressed kinda slutty not tryin to be rude ahe just shows off too much of her flesh sometimes and it seems unappropriate at times….
June 8th, 2007 at 1:13 am
jack… I won’t disagree that there are better artist and musicians when it comes to real talent. Hyori and her company know how to package her as a pop star though… lots of the time the packaging is more important than pure talent in the entertainment world.
shelshel… well, that’s just her style.

A beautiful girl is a beautiful girl regardless of how light or dark her skin is imo. I personally think Hyori is just a good looking gal. I’m sure that she may spend a little time in the tanning bed some as well. It’s not unheard of these days. :D But I see nothing wrong with the light-skinned Korean girls either. I love looking at all pretty women!!!! :)
June 8th, 2007 at 10:27 am
joe… I love looking at all pretty woman too lol.
June 8th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
i really love hyori… I like her style… it seems for me she’s a very simple type of girl…
June 9th, 2007 at 4:32 am
i like hyori’s “body”…
most asian celebrities (esp taiwanese, like angela) tend to be TOO skinny… like sticks… but while hyori is skinny, she actually has some flesh/muscle on her.
it makes her (or anyone) looks more real and healthy…
anyone agree?
June 9th, 2007 at 5:48 am
sun ya… true, lots of Chinese (China, HK, Taiwan) celebs are too skinny. Not just Hyori, Korean artists in general seem to keep a more healthy image and balance weight instead of going for the extreme.
June 9th, 2007 at 6:00 pm
i agree cos maby hk stars are way too skinny almost kinda lanky and some just look scary so skinny
June 10th, 2007 at 3:21 am
Hyori does have some nice curves on her! :)
June 10th, 2007 at 3:23 am
sexy smile too
June 13th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
do agree cause even hyori is so sexy (i’m not saying she’s perfect) she still has fats.. just look at her first pix with that beautiful smile… there fats on her stomach… its kinda cute seeing sexy stars with fats.. hehheheh
July 12th, 2007 at 10:53 pm
i agree to all of ya….
she has all the curves and smile….
and dont forget the moves
September 12th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
eventually, i’m ….coming
September 14th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
Hyori is (in terms of looks) one of the hottest females in the world IMO.. she is absolutely gorgeous… especially when she smiles and how her eyes have that perfect curve… a perfect 10 for me :D
October 16th, 2007 at 2:41 am
Lee hyori is beautiful and sexy, but men she’s a lousy actress. If not for Lee dong Gun no one will watch if in love like them sorry about my comment but it’s true
October 19th, 2007 at 10:43 am
i don’t watch korean dramas but i’ll take your word for it. and who’s koda kumi?
October 19th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Koda Kumi is Japanese pop star… arguably the most popular at the moment.
October 28th, 2007 at 12:55 am
I have to agree with Ms. Timid. Lee dong gun was fantistic in If in love like them, but Lee Hyori ruined it. But I still recommend it because it has a very touching ending…..
October 30th, 2007 at 12:31 pm
Lee Hyori is good actress ,that just my opinion of course.But the end was very touching .By the way those pictures of her are stunning.She looks so beautiful and sexy .Mammasita que linda (espanol)beautifull woman means in Spanish.
October 30th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
Habla espanol hombres?
November 21st, 2007 at 1:37 pm
all guys commenting again stop judging base upon on look more on talent.. if she didnt have the face i bet all u guys would hav commented negative… if u cant tell who is good actress and she she differently isnt
January 14th, 2008 at 12:10 am
What can I say, looks are what sells first in the entertainment industry, hate to say but it’s true! I mean, she doesn’t have the best talent but gosh, give her a chance, she ’s still very young and still has a lot of time to improve on certain issues but otherwise, she is HOT!
