NEWS: After the May 16 live recording of SBS Inkigayo, Lee Hyori immediately boarded a plane to Bali. This time, she left to shoot a magazine cover. However, since she is in the middle of her fourth album's promotions, this trip has special meaning for her.

On April 12, Hyori released her fourth album's title song "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" which also reigned Inkigayo and took home the triple crown.

The award-winning title song is different from recent digital sounds in the music world. Hip-hop songs are Hyori's new challenge. However it seems that fans haven't been adapting to this new image, since fans' reactions weren't as great as predicted. Hyori's activities weren't that much as predicted either.

And that's why Hyori's follow-up song is making people more curious than ever!

Hyori's promotions for her follow-up song has been decided for the last week of May, without any mention of which song it may be. Some possibilities are "Highlight" from the fourth album or a track from the repackaged album.

However, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" emphasized Hyori's independent personality so fans and enthusiasts alike are looking forward to what the next song may focus on.

A representative from her company said, "'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' can be considered a success in terms of music and sales, but we're still regretful about the difference to our expectations. The follow-up song will definitely reconfirm Hyori's status."

Hyori has always gotten her inspiration overseas. This time, everyone is anticipating what she will bring from Bali after her departure on May 20. After Hyori returns, she will be recording the music video for the follow-up song.

He had said that during his appearance on MBC ‘Come To Play’ aired on 17th May. Rain said, “She did not, for once, went after any guy.

Even though it was not on purpose, Lee Hyori noona has the ability to attract men.”

With that Lee Hyori asked, “Have you thought of me as someone of the opposite tender?” And Rain replied, “Well is there anyone who do not think of someone called Lee Hyori as a woman?” And Lee Hyori seemed happy with Rain’s answer.

Meanwhile, the 2 of them also talked about coming to promote in the same time period after 7 years since it also happened in 2003, “Personally it is good. It is fun to promote in the same time period 7 years since we last did in 2003.”

Lee Hyori added, “Now I don’t have many friends, and when I go to broadcast centres, almost everyone who greets me are juniors so I feel lonely. But luckily there is JiHoonie these days who will ask me ‘Noona have you eaten?’.”

And also on the show, Lee Hyori talks about her ideal type, “A while back I said on a show that I want to meet someone who is not working in the entertainment industry, but now I feel like I want to meet someone who is works in this industry. I want to meet someone who can understand me and whom I can share what I’m going through with.”

Rain also revealed, “Someone with split personality.” And guest appearance Son HoYoung asked, “Have Rain been in a love relationship before?” Rain’s reply was, “Honestly, the most recently one was about 4 years back.”
