Sexy pop icon Lee Hyo-ri was originally planned to make a comeback to the stages starting in November, but postponed her schedules a few months. Thus, Lee is less likely to appear in various year-end events such as awarding ceremonies and special performances. An official of Lee¡¦s management agency said, ¡§Lee Hyo-ri has postponed her comeback until early next year. We feel sorry to the fans, but in order to present perfect new music and performances, we¡¦ve decided to work on the new album more. Following the decision, Lee will not be able to attend various annual awarding events to be held at the end of the year.¡¨ Lee¡¦s originally planned comeback in November was expected to put a full stop to the current sexy trend in the local pop music scene. However, in order to maintain her position as the ¡§queen¡¨ of the sexy wave, Lee has decided to prepare more until she appears on the stage with a collection of new music. When Lee Hyo-ri comes back on the stages early next year, the competition among female singers who pursue the sexy trend is predicted to grow even more fierce than now. credit: KBS World Radio
