[edit] Biography
Lim Jeong Hee grew up in a musical environment, in which her father was an ardent fan of pop music and a collector of countless music LPs. She was educated with classical music in her childhood starting with learning to play the piano. Despite this, as she grew up, she gained more interest in pop music, rather than classical music she had studied.
In high school, Lim participated in a song contest for teens held by Seoul City and won the grand prize. The experience of competing in the song contest and winning the top prize naturally led Lim to enter college to study popular music. She is signed with the same management agency as some of the biggest Korea pop stars, Rain and G.O.D.. However, Lim is more famous on the street music scene than on television or the radio. Even before she her official debut, Lim had held countless street performances on her own which led to the creation of her multiple fan clubs.
Recently, Lim has released an official album entitled “Music is My Life.” Through her street performances, Lim said that she has learned so much about music and found an increased love and passion towards music. Lim says that she will continue to hold street performance not only in Seoul but also all around the country.
