Actress Min Hyo Rin almost debuted under a stage name inspired by Lee Hyori

On May 5th, actress Min Hyo Rin guested on KBS 2TV’s “Happy Together 3” and revealed that not only did she debut as a singer prior to her acting career, but that she almost debuted with a stage name similar to Lee Hyori’s.

MC Park Myung Soo began by mentioning that she looked a lot like Lee Hyori, to which she replied, “My agency told me that I looked like her as well, so they gave me the stage name ‘Lee Hyorin.’”

She went on to reveal that she hated the name and rejected it as strongly as she could, which eventually led to them just switching out the last name and changing it to her current stage name, ‘Min Hyo Rin.’



With her new name, she made her debut as a singer with a unique fantasy/space concept. Her stylists designed an outfit made from plastic to play up the futuristic concept, which unfortunately didn’t work out well with the sweltering summer heat.

Laughing, the actress revealed that her dress would fog up from her sweat.

Min Hyo Rin also talked a bit about her current concept, which is ‘mystery.’ Her agency told her to spare her words when in public in order to keep up an air of mystery. Min Hyo Rin took the concept to heart even in her auditions for movies, which eventually led her to becoming eliminated. The director at the time had stated, “If you speak so little at an audition, how am I supposed to know anything about you?!”

Rania’s Joy used to be a ‘Big Bang Girl’ for a Thai CF

Rania’s Joy recently expressed her disappointment in not being able to see the members of Big Bang after her debut, especially since they used to work together.

About a year ago, Rania member Joy took part in a Thai CF for “Eversense” with the members of Big Bang. In the CF, she was surrounded by the five men and received their full attention and affection. Joy herself received a lot of headlines prior to her debut for being a ‘Big Bang Girl’ since she was one of the top 10 finalists. Unfortunately, she hasn’t had a chance to meet them again since debuting last month.


She expressed, “The Big Bang seniors are so busy so there isn’t much of an opportunity for me to see them. I felt regretful that we haven’t been able to talk.”

Joy recalled some of the positive moments while filming by explaining, “Daesung was like a big brother, kind to everybody. Taeyang taught me some quick moves, thanks for that. I was worried what the fans would think of the CF at first, but they were all very kind to me.”

If you’re unfamiliar with the commercial film, check it out below!
