Lee Yeon-hee sings for Super Junior
by javabeans
Well, I suppose it isn’t totally out of line, considering that Lee Yeon-hee, who is managed by SM Entertainment, was almost in Girls Generation back in her training days. But I admit I tire of singers crossing over as actors with mediocre acting skills, as well as the reverse, actors crossing over into kpop with middling singing talent.
In any case, the East of Eden actress will feature her vocals on Super Junior‘s upcoming third album, having lent her voice to the song “Club No. 1.” The album is also drawing notice for featuring DBSK’s U-know Yunho and Micky Yoochun, who will rap on the song “이별… 넌 쉽니 (Heartquake).” (What, with 13 members — or is it 14 now? — is Suju finding it difficult to fill out their songs with their own talent?)
Super Junior will kick off their comeback with an appearance on KBS’s Music Bank on March 13.

I was thinking the same thing. That's just way too many people. It's bad enough that not all of them might get a part in the song but add two more people...?
Well, I'm still anticipating their comeback.

Lee Yeon Hee's singing is pretty good considering she's an actress and not a singer. She did an opening performance for the MBC awards this year and it was really good. I think that people shouldn't judge til they actually hear her sing. I seriously can't wait to hear her sing!

I haven't hear about Lee Yeon Hee for a while. It's good to hear that she's helping out her SM family. I personally don't think Lee Yeon Hee is bad at singing. She's actually pretty decent compared to some other singers in the singing business. I can't for the track to be released! Lee Yeon Hee and Super Junior HWAITING!

Is she finally moving on from her horrible acting? (prays)
To fizzle: LOL, I used to like LYH but then I saw her acting. After that I didn't like her so much.

Isn;t she just narrating? ohhhhhh is she really gonna sing??
meheheh, 14 members XD
Now... thankfully she is female... because if she happened to be a male and participated, I really dont want to see the "Only 13" thing again (even though I secretly agreed with only 13 members and no more >.> still.... too much things going on -_-)
speaking of 13, I just killed the 13th stinkin' fly -_____- Why does this area have so many fly's >:|

I love LYH! I don't know what people are saying. I liked her until I saw her acting? She was always an actress!!! Her role in EOE different than her other roles but I still loved it. People really do have problems. If you can't do any better then don't talk.

Yea! LYH is singing with Super Junior? That's so cool. Lee Yeon Hee hasn't been doing anything with her fellow SMers for a while. It's good to hear they are still good friends and working with each other. I've always liked LYH. She's always been the girl next door type of girl. And I can't wait to hear her sing. Hopefully she'll get to shine on the track.

@#9 Love: please dont say that TT_________TT
As viewers, we have a right to express our opinions whether we like it or not TT___TT
If you heard a song and didn't like the way that person sang, does that mean you can't say you dont like that singer's singing? If you did say you didnt like it, it doesnt mean you have problems, but weren't you just saying how you felt? Of-course, it doesnt either mean you hate that person either... just dont agree with that person's talent.
It's not about being able to do something better (I mean, you have movie critics etc who aren't actors or never directed a film, etc XD) but it's about sharing with others and expressing one's opinion ^__________________^
I think that saying people who mentioned about her acting have problems was a bit mean TT_____TT
Some people might have seen her from cms and photoshoots and liked her, like for me, but when I saw her act.. for an actress I didn't find her that great, and I just simply didn't think highly of her as much as I did before :)

I've always like Lee Yeon Hee. Before and after I saw her dramas.
Lee Yeon Hee is just an all round likeable girl. I can never ever dislike her.
I give LYH props for continuing her role as YR on EOE despite criticisms and such from viewers. LYH isn't afraid to take on roles whether they are likeable or annoying and immature as some other actors and actresses may be afraid to take on such roles.I must say I think highly of LYH more now than before.
Looking forward to hearing Lee Yeon Hee and U-Know on SJ's album!

Good thing we get to hear LYH featured on a track on SJ's new album.
I have a feeling it's going to be a great track with LYH on it.
And we're also going to get to hear U-Know rap!
Hope the album doesn't disappoint.

Whenever you see someone in magazines or photo shoots, you automatically think highly of them? And now that you have seen her act you don't think highly of a person as you did before? That's really nice of you to say that.

@#16: ah. I didn't mean it that way.
I think "highly" was a completely wrong word to use, and since I'm not great in English I often use the wrong terms to express my opionions TT_____TT sorry. and I dont automatically think highly of people... but if what I said gave that meaning..I'm sorry for that too >_____.>) so I apologize for saying anything mean or offensive.

Isn't it a celebrity who would lend their vocal to an unknown/new vocal grup, so the group could be heard & known by listener/viewer (like YEH for Mighty Mouth, or LJK for Sori). But Suju did the reverse. So why did they do that for, they're famous enough without have to invite another famous singer/actor ? Isn't it a new strategy from SM entertainment to compete with DBSK & Big Bangs ?
Apart from that, I think Yunho & Micky are credible to be a guest singer in Suju's album since they're real singer, but I don't feel the same with LYH. I've heard her voice at the opening of MBC awards last year, & frankly her voice not that so special (just decent). Her voice seems fit as singer in vocal group, but as a soloist...I don't think so. It isn't that strong enough...I think, I feel the same as Javabeans, having tire of singers crossing over as actors with mediocre acting skills, as well as the reverse, actors crossing over into kpop with middling singing talent

This is not surprising at all. Lee Yeon Hee and SuJu go way back, having done various videos (i.e. Timeless) opposite Han Geng and Si Won. She seems good friends with them, and this seems like a club track.
LYH's kinda nearing "Leave Britney Alone" status for me. Sure, Lee Yeon Hee's been cast opposite Song Seung Heon, Park Yong Ha, So Ji Sup (grrr!!!!), Hyun Bin, Gong Yoo, Kang Dong Wan, Yoo Ji Tae, Jung Il Woo, Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed before she could legally drink. Sure, she's been the focal point of various EofE conspiracy theories (BTW kids, EofE is ending this week! Will Dong Chul and beat the crap out of his emo fake bro "Shin" Dong Wook? Will Shin Tae Hwan make it out of the show alive? Will we see Rebecca ever again? Will Dead Mike show up at Dong Chul/Grace's wedding? How many licks does it take to get the center of a tootsie pop? Tune in for the final -- MBC promises!! -- week of Al Este Del Eden)
All the same, she is still 21 years old and she's taken enough lumps for EoE, when she wasn't originally projected to be the lead.
"But I admit I tire of singers crossing over as actors with mediocre acting skills, as well as the reverse, actors crossing over into kpop with middling singing talent."
That's what makes Koo Hye Sun so scary. Exhaustion? Accident? Stitches in the mouth? CONCUSSION? Ain't no thang girlfriend!!

i do also hate actor/ress trying to sing when they have mediocre voice but i like it if they really have the talent. and LYH, she do have a very sweet voice. when i heard she's going to sing i tend to accept her like YEH ang GHS (they were a singer).

yeah, this girl has been paired up with lot of hotties! and she's only 21? she's pretty, can sing and quite good at acting (not the best but still convincing enough to make most viewers love her more than the lead actress (and kick her out) ).. man, im jealous!
and yeah, its not surprising she's going to sing with Suju. she appeared in their MV for quite of times. they are good friends. plus they're under the same company and she definitely have good voice. so why not?

Wasn't she the actress opposite Hyun Bin in A millionaire's first love? Cos I loved that movie and I liked her acting. I haven't watched EoE so I can't say anything about it or her acting in it. I also haven't heard her singing. We'll see how that turns out.
Personally, if someone can do more than one thing -and it do well- I don't see the problem. Thing is, most of those who crossover over don't have the talents though I'm not questioning their efforts.

if supermodels can sing, then why cant actresses sing...and i have heard lyh sing - its pretty decent. moreover its not like all the singers we have today are talented. she hasn't proved she s the best actress yet but i find her acting in eoe quite good. btw i think she was and is going to be in this industry for a long time without having to kick anyone out. actually i have begun to admire her courage becoz of the way she has handled herself despite being targeted & blamed for ldh's departure. i just hope that she stays strong and not take any of the vile comments personally.

I didn't say Lee Yeon-hee sucked, but the comparison to the supermodel isn't exactly apt, since that supermodel songwrites and plays her own instruments as well. Different class altogether.

Just because she gets to act with a lot of male hotties it does not mean that she's hiding behind them. Obviously if those males "hotties" and actors are making movies with her, doesn't it mean they feel like she's good enough to act side by side with them? So what you're trying to say is that you want her to act alongside ugly people? I'm sorry but does that make sense?

"yeah, this girl has been paired up with lot of hotties! and she’s only 21? "
I think being on SM Entertainment had a lot to do with it. They don't have many actors, and I think she may had the longest relationship with the agency. Go Ara, also on SM Entertainment, also has had an accelerated career, playing lead pretty much since her debut. Yoona's (who has talent as an actress) transitioning into lead/support lead status as well.

She looks like someone that you want to be friends with. Definitely of the more conservative actresses out there. But I hope she starts dressing out of her comfort zone and just experience more with fashion.
Hearing that she is going to sing on Super Junior's album is making me excited!
I've seen her MBC opening performance and she has such a sweet voice. I want to see what kind of tone she'll bring to the track. I just know that the track is going to be hot.
