Jewelry

Jewelry is a popular Korean girl group that has recorded songs in both Korean and Japanese. Their Korean debut was in 2001 with their first album Discovery. After a less-than-stellar first album, two of the singers were replaced. A year later, their second album Again was released, with better results. Full of strong ballads (as opposed to the sexy dance songs that were popular at the time), the album quickly yielded two high-charting singles -- "Tonight" and "Again" -- which started the group's rise to popularity. This was quickly followed by their third album Beloved, which saw a continuation of their cute image. However, this image was heightened to the point of exaggeration. Their first single "I Really Like You" was very poppy and had Jewelry adopt a cutesy concept to match the song, with colorful outfits and perky dances. This single was popular, but their followup single failed to chart as strongly as their previous ones.



By the time the fourth album Super Star came out in the beginning of 2005, this cute image was no more. Following the trend in Korean pop, they became sexier and more womanly, and it helped bring about their current level of success. The first single Superstar (written by Shinhwa member Lee Min Woo) was a driven rock song and surprisingly became a huge hit. They followed this up with the sexy R&B number Passion, which also charted strongly. Both of these singles prominently featured "sexy" member Seo In-Young dance scantily-clad in short solos, which brought the group much press attention (both positive and negative). They have since been on a break from the Korean music industry in order to focus on Japan. Unfortunately, Ji-Hyun left in early 2006 to pursue an acting career, but Jewelry is still a group, and they are currently in the process of looking for another member. Their fifth album is expected sometime in the future.
