Ayumi Lee
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Ayumi Lee, born on August 25, 1984, in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, from former Korean girl-group Sugar.

Lee was raised in Japan for much of her younger life and is the reason for her Japanese accent, although she is now fluent in both languages. Although Ayumi's name is commonly believed to be Japanese in origin, she has explained that her name is hanja-based. She has also attended Korea Kent Foreign School.

When Lee was in her girl group Sugar, fans already favorited her as the 'sweet' one. By appearing in SBS's many celebrity shows like Xman and Love Letter, people were allowed to see even more of her bubbly and ditzy personality.

In the game of Dungyanhuji on Xman, people also saw that Lee was a tough competitor in the game. She was quickly dubbed the Secret Weapon because she was gutsy and barely lost. During the season 3 episode of Love Letter, she performed her Cutie Honey dance and many were surprised at her sexiness, though she was jokingly teased afterward to set the mood back. During the games, she usually likes to pair off with popular comedian and singer Kim Jong Min and they have become a notoriously funny couple as she was still learning how to speak Korean then and Kim Jong Min added a strange expression to his words. The both have made fun each other of it before but Kang Ho Dong teases them the most.

During the last episode of Love Letter where they were doing a send-off special for the main stars recounting their most famous moments, Ahyoomee was part of Kim Jong Min's as she was " ...one of the girls who helped Jong Min shine his best."

Lee stated on the 66th episode of SBS's Xman that she was discovered at a H.O.T. concert. The singer debuted in 2002 as part of the girl group Sugar, contributing to their 3 Korean and 2 Japanese albums. She has recently branched out as a solo artist, releasing two digital singles.

The first, a cover of the theme song for Cutie Honey (also covered by Koda Kumi), came out on July 13, 2006 with a lot of fanfare, as Ayumi was criticized for her heavy accent and the overall Japanese feel of performances on the various Korean music shows. However, the song became a hit online, and Lee performed the song for much of the summer. Her second digital single, (Wrongful Meeting) was released on November 7, 2006, and is a cover of Kim Gun Mo's hit from 1995. She switched label early 2007, moving to SM Entertainment.
