Rain and Hyo-Ri practically dropping at the same time…?
Back at the beginning of February, Internet buzz was created by the announcement that Lee Hyo-Ri would be “coming back” with her fourth album, and that the style would be new and the title song might be a foreign one. » You can revisit that announcement on the K Bites blog (source: Sports Chosun) HERE.
And you all know that the news broke all over the place last week that a new mini-album from Rain would be dropping this coming April, the anniversary month of his 2002 debut. » You can read the story in KBS Global HERE.
Well, here’s an interesting revelation for you: The Daily Hankook (by way of Rain Europe) is reporting that, seeing as Hyo-Ri’s album release is slated for the end of March, the two ultimate superstars and close friends (and we do mean close) will have about a one to two week interval between their releases, and that their fans are highly excited. Will one star trump the other, or will they both be equally successful?
The first Hyo-Ri announcement in the Chosun did say “within two months,” so her drop date does feel consistent. But what a coincidence.
