Ivy

Korean pop singer and accomplished musical theater performer Ivy was born Park Eun-hye on November 7, 1982 in Seoul. She signed to the talent conglomerate JYPE and launched her career with the 2005 single “What Happened Tonight”. That song, as well as the follow-up releases “A ha” and “I Am a Fool” appeared on her debut LP My Sweet and Free Day which climbed to number 14. Her sophomore effort, 2007’s A Sweet Moment, featured the single “Sonata of Temptation” and won Ivy various industry awards. 2009’s I Be included the number 1 single “Touch Me”. Although she had appeared in a handful of movies by this point, Ivy began a career in musical theater at this time, scoring her first major part as Lois Lane in a 2010 production of Kiss Me Kate. That was such a positive experience that she took on the role of Roxie Hart in Chicago two years later, and won a Best New Actress trophy at the Korean Music Awards. That same year she released the EP Interview and scored a top 5 hit with “Torn Heart”. Another EP, I Dance followed in 2013 and its title track gave her another top 20 hit. For the rest of the decade she concentrated mostly on stage work, starring in productions of Urinetown, Wicked, Aida, and Rent and more. After having gone nearly five years without releasing any new material, she dropped the single “Shi Zhong Qian Fu” in December of 2020.
