Harisu
Lee Kyung-eun (born Lee Kyung-yeop, February 17, 1975), better known by her stage name Harisu (Hangul: 하리수; Hanja: 河莉秀), is a South Korean pop singer, model, and actress. Assigned male at birth, Harisu identified as female from early childhood, and underwent sex reassignment surgery in the 1990s. She is South Korea's first transgender entertainer, and in 2002 became only the second person in Korea to legally change their gender. Her stage name is an adaptation of the English phrase "hot issue".
Harisu first gained public attention in 2001, after appearing in a television commercial for DoDo cosmetics. The commercial was a success and ended up launching her career, allowing her to branch out into other fields such as music and acting. So far she has recorded five Korean musical albums, switching genres between techno and R&B, and her overseas releases have featured songs recorded in Mandarin. Her first major acting role was in the 2001 film Yellow Hair 2, and since then her credits have included Hi! Honey, a Taiwanese drama series, and Colour Blossoms, an erotic drama by Hong Kong filmmaker Yonfan. On May 19, 2007, Harisu married Micky Jung, whom she had been dating for two years.
Harisu (album)
Harisu is the self-titled fourth studio album by Harisu, released in South Korea by YBM Seoul Records on January 24, 2006. It was seen as her comeback album following a two-year absence from the Korean music scene, and marked a change in her image with an emphasis on being "cute" rather than "sexy". The album itself features pop music that ranges in style between R&B, hip hop, disco and slow ballads. Harisu's then boyfriend (now husband) Micky Jung also worked on the album, his contributions including a rap on "Winter Story", which was released as a digital single in December 2005. A music video was filmed for lead track "Reaction", a song written by Shin Myeong-gu, who had previously produced albums for Diva and NRG. The album peaked at #46 on the MIAK K-pop albums chart, selling 1,596 copies in its first month of release.
Harisu was also released in Taiwan and China, with the addition of Mandarin-language versions of "Reaction" and "Sleeping Beauty". The Chinese CD omitted several other tracks, but was packaged with a photo booklet and bonus VCD, containing music videos and TV footage.

Love Will Never End
by: Hear'SayWhen you're down and you're lonely
You know that I will be there
Even though we've been around the world
Away from you
Just close your eyes
Dreams will come true
This love is now and forever
I found a way to your heart
Through the sunshine and the rainy days
This much is true
Remember
We love you
Join hands let go
Set the world on fire
You can believe that
Love will take you higher
I swear you'll never be the same
Cause this kind of love never ends
From all of us to all of you
Just close your eyes and let your
Dreams come true
Join hands let go
Set the world on fire
You can believe that
Love will take you higher
I swear you'll never be the same
Cause this kind of love never ends
Join hands let go
Set the world on fire
You can believe that
Love will take you higher
I swear you'll never be the same
