Lee Hyori to make comeback in early 2010

Lee Hyori has shelved her plans to make a return in 2009 and she will instead make her comeback in early 2010.

Since June, Lee Hyori had been working with Mnet Media to produce her 4th album for release in late 2009 ahead of her contract expiry with them this November. But it has been decided now that the album will be released in January or Feburary of 2010 instead.

According to a Mnet representative, “Our original plan was to release it in October or November. But in order to show the different charisma and style of Hyori, we spent slightly more time on collecting songs as we wanted to create a music album that sets trends. Although at this point, we have finished collecting the songs, but post-production work will mean that the album can only be released early next year.”

He added, “Although the release date has been delayed again and again, but we believed that the ample time we have will help in producing a good album.”

Lee Hyori is the overall producer of her album and had picked her own songs from all avenues, including personally making visits to song writers for songs.

The representative added, “Hyori had achieved great success with U-Go-Girl in 2008 and thus the fans have placed great expectations on her new album. Hyori has collected songs that will satisfy what the general public wants and also show her current status in the K-pop scene. It will also bring across her viewpoint about being in her 30s.”

And as mentioned before, there are no plans for Hyori to leave Family Outing.
