Hallyuwood.com is running a contest in celebration of Chuseok holiday; the prize… a Korean pop star Lee Hyori’s style-book (five to be won).

Not sure how nice the book is, but it’s something that is not easy to grab hold of if you are not from Korea. It’s a chance not to be missed for Hyori and K-pop fans.

Just head over, follow the instructions and stand a chance to win the prize. The contest expires on the last day of Chuseok, which should mean by the end of Monday (Sept 15); the clock is ticking… hurry up :p

Korean pop star Lee Hyori has started promoting “Hey Mr Big”, her second track from her latest album “It’s Hyorish”. Her first track “U-Go-Girl” was quite successful, topping most of the charts for a couple of weeks before being kicked off by competitors, particularly by Big Bang’s “Haru Haru”.

Here is is, the English subbed music video for Hey Mr Big [via Coolsmurf]… The song is just ok for me, but I like the MV; it’s a showcase of different fashion and style (and a little cosplay)… totally Hyorish…

Korean pop diva Lee Hyori is back with her third album “It’s Hyorish”… it has been more than two years since she released her previous album.

Hyori made her comeback live performance last week (July 18) on KBS Music Bank, performing “Invincible Lee Hyori” and “U-Go-Girl”… [edited, video no longer available]

Frankly, I think the songs are just ok; like the live performance though.

There are speculations for the past year or two that Hyori is not as popular as she used to be… but with the charts-topping album sales and the media craze with her latest comeback, Hyori has just proved that she is still invincible.

Below is the full MV of U-Go-Girl, featuring hip-hop artist Nassun…
