Lee Jung-hyun is a Korean pop singer and actress, born on March 13, 1980 in Daegu, South Korea.

She made her movie debut aged 16 in Ggotip (꽃잎, "Petal").

Her early musical work is techno-style dance music. Her first single, Wa (와, "Come") topped the Korean charts for three weeks, while her third, Bakkwo (바꿔, "Change") won awards for Best Song and Most Broadcasted Song.

With her 5th album, Passion, she changed to a Latin style of music, complete with Spanish Guitar and flamenco-style tap dance.

Many of her songs are sung in an angry mood, from the point of view of a rejected lover.

"Wa" and "Bakkwo" were included in the Korean release of the game Dance Dance Revolution. Fan-made DDR dance steps of her other works are popular with players of DDR simulators.

Chinese singer Sammi Cheng has sung remakes of many Lee Jung Hyun hits such as Bakkwo (became Mei Fei Se Wu) and Neo(Nuh) (너, You), which became Tian Yi Wu Feng. The remakes have original (non-translated) lyrics sung in Mandarin.
