Lee Hyori prepares to comeback on June

Lee Hyori is preparing to return to music industry this June. Last year she met with a plagiarism controversy as it was discovered that six tracks from her “H-Logic” album were plagiarized. The singer wrapped up her album activities earlier than scheduled, and the producer was eventually jailed for a year and six months.

Since then, it’s been rare for fans to see her on popular TV programs, as she’s been spending her time with charity organizations and occasionally MCing for gayo festivals.

The industry expected her to take a longer break before her next comeback, but Hyori has decided to break expectations and return earlier than planned.

The CEO of her agency stated, “She was a victim of the plagiarism controversy and was extremely shocked over it.  She took the time to work with charities to overcome the hardship.  Although she hasn’t completely overcome it yet, we feel that it is best to come back before it’s too late to regain her honor.”

He continued, “Since she was unable to leave with a clean end to her album promotions, she will be doing her best for this comeback.”

We’ll definitely be looking forward to hearing what Hyori’s got in store for us!
