Great coffee table book for the K-pop fan

Since her 1997 debut with premiere girl group Fin.K.L. and her subsequent solo career, Lee Hyori has been one of the biggest names in K-pop and anything she releases or appears in will be big in Korea. I was fortunate enough enough to pick-up a signed copy of this book. I found it at a small bookstore in Songtan, just outside of Osan U.S. Air Force Base. How the owner of the store ended up with it I have no idea. She probably wasn’t aware she had a signed edition and I just bought it without asking any questions.

Even though she conveys a sexy image, the book is fairly wholesome. Hyolee (sometimes spelled “Hyori”) doesn’t show much skin in this and I don’t really find the photos all that creative, but they are tasteful and this makes a good coffee table book because even the ladies can’t resist flipping through it when they see it sitting there.
