“Director Park and his brother Park Chan-kyong have been working on Lee Jung-hyun’s music video for her mini album title since July 2,” an official from Lee’s agency said. The music video will be released at the end of July. The three had worked together on the 2011 short film “Night Fishing (Paranmanjang),” leading them to work together once again.
Singer and actress Lee is widely known as “the techno queen” as she introduced the techno music genre to Korea in 2000. She is making her comeback as a singer after a three-year hiatus since her seventh album in 2010.
