Lee Chae Yeon (also known as Jinny Lee)

Born : December 10, 1978

Nationality : Korean

Her Career:

She returned to Korea with her first official album It’s My Time under her new stage name, Chae Yeon. Debuting late in 2003, nobody expected her to be successful as she is now. Initially, she was simply viewed as yet another "sexy concept" singer, as many female singers were at that time. However, unlike many others, she had a fairly successful debut. She proved to be a great dancer, and she showed off her vocals in her ballad songs and live performances.

Her title song (Dangerous Presentation) did well, but her real success came when her 2nd album released late in 2004. Two Of Us, the lead single, pushed her to #1 on many music charts in the spring of 2005.

Chae Yeon has managed to maintain her popularity by continually participating in variety shows, such as SBS's X-Man and Love Letter, where she portrays both cute and sexy images. Her appearances on these variety shows allowed her to display her bubbly and positive personality. She ended her official schedule with her last X-Man episode on September 25, in order to concentrate on recording her fourth album.

Although briefly hospitalised due to exhaustion, she was able to prepare for her comeback, which was at the end of March. Her lead single from her fourth album was "My Love", which was a Latin-tinged dance song. Although extensively performed, with a remix promoted from May onwards, the album failed to sell well, selling only 10,387 copies to date.

In addition to promoting her album, Chae Yeon has also joined the cast of Hi-Five, part of KBS's Happy Sunday line-up. On the reality-variety show, which also stars Hyun Young, the stars attempt to succeed in various tasks, including starring in a musical, becoming flight attendants, and performing action movie stunts.
