Maybee I’m Ivy..Or not

10.10 maybee and ivy

Ballad singer Maybee is confusing the reporters again because of her resemblance to sexy singer Ivy. At her 2nd album launch, a reporter addressed her as Ivy, which got everyone laughing except the singer in question. And it probably hurts her more that nobody mistakes sexy diva Ivy as the ballad princess Maybee. But despite the similar profiles, I don’t understand why people confuse the two singers. Ivy is totally sexed up while Maybee is totally covered up. Can you tell the difference between the two?

    A easy way to tell them apart is ones nose points up the others points down ^^

    i think ivy exudes more confidence and has sex appeal..

  3. 3 daneil October 11, 2007 at 4:25 pm

    shes just trying to get more media attention.
    shes been using the same “im not ivy im maybee” thing for MONTHS even after she met ivy too.

    its pretty lame

    I think Maybee more chubby ,I don’t see the resemblance in those pictures.

  5. 5 junsufan October 11, 2007 at 5:02 pm

    no resemblance at all..

  6. 6 Carol October 11, 2007 at 5:13 pm

    ivy looks
    REALLY old.
    and her hands show age.

  7. 7 sakura October 11, 2007 at 5:18 pm

    so easy… and the nose tip helps too ;)

  8. 8 sakura October 11, 2007 at 5:18 pm

    now I can’t stop looking at her nose… (Maybee)

  9. 9 daneil October 11, 2007 at 5:27 pm

    oh and its funny that you said ivy’s totally sexed up

    im guessing ur still not over that one performance?
    have you not seen any of her performances? when she was performing her first song she was totally covered up and it was all over the news.

    and people dont really confuse the two netizens have been saying its another cry for attention for myabee’s comeback.

    Maybee is okay though- but her voice doesn’t really stand out

  10. 10 oo October 11, 2007 at 5:29 pm

    i thought the whole i’m not ivy thingy had to do with the similarity between how their names were pronounced….not their looks

  11. 11 joyce October 11, 2007 at 5:45 pm

    i dont see any resemblance

  12. 12 joojoo October 11, 2007 at 7:25 pm

    I don’t find any appeal in Maybee at all.

  13. 13 Eve October 11, 2007 at 7:39 pm

    They don’t even look the same -__-;;

  14. 14 Naqiyyah October 11, 2007 at 8:10 pm

    A bit… I guess. Yeah, Maybee is soooo covered up~

  15. 15 Aya October 11, 2007 at 8:48 pm

    They both look terrible in those pictures. I could somehow believe it was the same person if you told me it was some kind of make over but really they dont look all that similiar, maybe just the eyes. The noses are extremely different, etc.

  16. 16 Em October 11, 2007 at 10:18 pm

    Ivy looks hella old in that photo like in the late 30s. She needs to do something more to her skin to look fresher and younger. Maybee should be insulted to be mistaken for that old woman cuz she looks really young in comparison

  17. 17 janepak October 11, 2007 at 10:27 pm

    you can totally tell the two apart! what’s so confusing?
    their concepts are totally different too!

  18. 18 se7enfan October 11, 2007 at 10:29 pm

    She sort of resembles Ivy but Ivy is prettier than her….

  19. 19 rocketfuel October 11, 2007 at 11:20 pm

    Maybe the Korean media is full of rednecks and think all asians do look alike.

  20. 20 KaWaiiMegaMi October 12, 2007 at 12:22 am

    i dont see any resembLance at aLL. they don’t Look the same to me…

  21. 21 sammy October 12, 2007 at 12:53 am

    Ivy is way prettier than Maybee, the difference is very easy to tell lol

  22. 22 ~HSG~ October 12, 2007 at 12:58 am

    I can tell the difference. Maybee has black hair Ivy has lighter hair. Maybee sings ballads Ivy sings a bigger range of songs. Ivy can dance Maybee can not. Maybee is conservative Ivy is sexed up. Plenty of differences.

  23. 23 happybi October 12, 2007 at 1:09 am

    maybee = much chubbier cheeks. Easy to tell them apart.

  24. 24 anna October 12, 2007 at 1:37 am

    i think ivy is prettier but maybee is cuter. i can tell the different between them

  25. 25 nacom202 October 12, 2007 at 2:05 am

    they don’t really look that much alike
    XD

  26. 26 sLaVe October 12, 2007 at 3:34 am

    You know, I thought Lee Soo Young was the ballad queen/princess… I’ve never even heard of Maybee. I’ll check her out since she looks pretty and she’s given that title though.

    I had no idea there were fans of Arrested Development in Korea…

  28. 28 soju October 12, 2007 at 6:00 am

    is that her cellphone she’s wearing around her neck? haaaa

  29. 29 Rayne October 12, 2007 at 6:28 am

    HOW can you get them mistaken? one definitely looks like one helluva sex kitty (IVY WOOT! she;s SOOO pretty!)
    and maybee is just pretty. most of the time. yup!

    haha noses are a bit different too! and their poses/looks. if you SEE maybee’s face, it’s like a nice girl thing, and then ivy’s like “come and get me!”

  30. 30 Rayne October 12, 2007 at 6:29 am

    OOH! plus. chin line. yeah. ivy’s chin line is SOO much better. really nice and slim

    maybee’s like moony face. >.<

  31. 31 puke October 12, 2007 at 6:37 am

    Ivy = much chubbier breasts. Easy to tell them apart.

  32. 32 Miss Katt October 12, 2007 at 7:32 am

    I think that the reporters are blind and Ivy is way better and has great sex appeal unlike Maybee. And maybe she should change her name she is nothing like Ivy..No offense but Maybee is not cute I LOVE IVY always

  33. 33 OR MAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE October 12, 2007 at 8:26 am

    they had the same SURGEON !!! :O

  34. 34 liquidhope October 12, 2007 at 8:58 am

    this is the result when u get the same plastic sergeant for ur face.

  35. 35 jane October 12, 2007 at 10:27 am

    ivy is soooo much hotter!

  36. 36 anna October 12, 2007 at 11:33 am

    ivy is only one year older than maybee. ivy looks her age while maybee looks younger than her age.

  37. 37 penguin_x3 October 12, 2007 at 11:46 am

    umm yeah…i didnt know Ivy was like that whole sex thing, I always thought that she’s was oneo f those conservative more intelligent person. they look nothing alike cause Maybee looks TOO much like a little girl, she could be one of those SNSD girls

  38. 38 akon October 12, 2007 at 12:58 pm

    Honestly, all korean celebs look similar to me. :p

  39. 39 honeyTHEhottest October 12, 2007 at 1:01 pm

    maybee should be flattered. she does NOT look anything like beautiful, sexy ivy. doesn’t even compare. wth is maybee anyway? another wannabe-yangpa who will never gain yangpa’s fame. ivy’s sooo much better

  40. 40 Narae October 12, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    hell yes i can tell the difference. They don’t even look like

  41. 41 Mut October 12, 2007 at 3:01 pm

    Honestly, I don’t know Maybee, and I only know Ivy from the song ’something Sonata’ that I thought was scary (I don’t enjoy hearing high pitched screech, no matter how perfect she hit the pitch)

    From this photo only I can easily see Maybee looks like 15 years old girl, while Ivy is 30 years old woman….

  42. 42 Gypsymm7 October 12, 2007 at 3:13 pm

    Ivy has a better nose job. hehehe…. Gotta Love her.

  43. 43 sun ya October 12, 2007 at 4:12 pm

    they kinda resemble each other… but if you look closely… their every single feature is different.
    nose, eyebrows, eyes, chin, cheeks…
    and maybee is cuter (baby fat?) and ivy… is … not, lol… ivy’s just sexy.

  44. 44 Bloo October 12, 2007 at 5:14 pm

    Well, some people actually look at their faces rather than their ’sex appeal’. From those pictures above, excluding the eyes, I would have thought they were twins, but if you keep going down, there’s a definite difference.

  45. 45 neko28 October 12, 2007 at 8:18 pm

    They’re actually implying about the name. I read it back a while ago. Somehow people get mixed between the two when saying it in Korean.

  46. 46 Ning October 14, 2007 at 8:30 am

    don’t like maybee, but love ivy thou~~~~~~~

  47. 47 Miss Katt October 14, 2007 at 1:42 pm

    Maybee still ugly needs a a new face

  48. 48 Mut October 15, 2007 at 5:29 am

    >>neko28

    Serious? They mixed up the name??? But Ivy and Maybee are not THAT similar….

  49. 49 iloveivy October 19, 2007 at 12:23 pm

    @ Mut.

    yeah. in english it sounds totally different, but in korean, it’s actually quite similar. koreans say “ivy” like “Ah-Ee-Bee” and Maybee like “Meh-Ee-Bee”.

  50. 50 protector_6 October 21, 2007 at 9:00 am

    They don’t look much alike.
    Yes Ivy is “sexier”… but MayBee is prettier.

    “Hot Girls Do NOT Equal to Beautiful Girls.
    Hot=Slang. a.sexually aroused; lustful. b.sexy; attractive.
    Beautiful= 5.(used with a plural verb) beautiful things or people collectively (usually prec. by the): the good and the beautiful.
    Hot means you just want to have something like a one night stand…
    Beautiful means you want to have a serious relationship with that female and would consider living your life with this love of yours…”
    Just a quote…
    But it goes back to my point. Maybee is pretty, being covered up isn’t bad. It just doesn’t get as many males who just want to look at the singer instead of listening to her..

    I have listened to Ivy songs and frankly I don’t like them. I like them less than Wonder Girl’s Song Tell Me which annoys me.

    When i first heard MayBee in “Letter Written to You Part 2″ with MC Mong i was like… woah she can sing.

    I then checked out a live performance they recorded on youtube… and the thing is. she sounded good! I think she has a beautiful voice.
    it is hard to sound good in a concert without all the state of the art recording systems.

    I can understand them being mixed up because of names… and their eyes. But that’s it.

    There is very little similar between the two.

    Thank you for reading this very long reply haha. ^_^

  51. 51 afroana October 29, 2007 at 12:32 am

    I agree with protector 6! :) And maybee is also a great lyricist. She’s definitely talented! Dun underrate her..:)) GO MAYBEE!
