Son Dambi’s breakthrough hit was meant for Ivy?
With “Saturday Night” sweeping the #1 spots on music programs, the new hit maker has become the reigning queen of dance. Although I feel that “Saturday Night” does not deserve the recognition, Dambi definitely does. Woman has worked her booty off in incredibly short skirts and showing off her curves at every turn. Last year along with her rising popularity on the now declining, “We Got Married,” Dambi’s “Crazy” chair dance became a huge sensation and made Dambi a bona-fide diva. Yet, it has recently been revealed that the producers of “Crazy”, The Brave Brothers, created this song for the fallen sexy dance icon of Korea, Ivy, in mind. Dambi’s management, however, heard the song first and scooped it up. Ivy has been out of the limelight for the past two years due to a sex tape scandal unleashed in 2007.
For those of you who don’t know, Ivy debuted in 2005 and rose to prominent fame for showing great potential as a female pop act. Her biggest hit was “Sonata of Temptation,” shot her to fame. She was a BIG NAME and rising toward A-List status, but then suddenly her ex-boyfriend came onto the scene, and threatened to release a sex video of her and there were huge allegations that Ivy had cheated with her ex-boyfriend on Wheesung. The supposed sex tape was never made public, but her success took a nose dive nonetheless.
Although her ex-boyfriend was arrested and sentenced to jail for just a year, Ivy was forced to stop all activities. The fallen pop act was also slapped with a 120 million won fine for tarnishing her endorsement with Reebok, in addition to litigation with her management company, Fantom Entertainment. Not only that, her music video for “Sonata of Temptation” got a lot of bad press because, apparently, the director decided to simulate the fight between Tifa and Loz from Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, which by the way is just a pretty movie with no substance, without proper permission from Square Enix. So poor girl has been through a lot of crap. How much she brought onto herself is debatable, but still that much bad press could kill somebody.
Luckily though, at least she has found love. Earlier this year, reporters found out Ivy was dating songwriter Kim Tae-song frolicking happily in the snow. It has also been reported that Ivy plans to come back into the music industry, but there has been a lot of negativity by antis, protesting her return. There has also been random speculation that Ivy was dating Kim to boost herself, but songwriters barely get notice and don’t make a lot of money.
Well, despite the new man, Ivy is staying under the radar, as revealed by the lyrics she wrote for Girls Generation’s (SNSD) “Dear Mom” under the pseudonym, “The Lighthouse.” Current boyfriend Kim had composed “Dear Mom,” which is off of SNSD’s latest mini-album, “Gee.” The song is pretty simple, yet touching, and you can feel that Ivy feels bad for not being a better daughter and woman in the past.
But she has the future to make it up, right?!
I would have hated to miss out on that song. I’m glad Son Dambi took it on; she did a good job and it really put her up there, but I definitely see Ivy singing this one too. I think she would have done it pretty well.
I’m not a huge fan of Ivy, but I really hope Ivy comes out on top and puts this scandal behind her. In my opinion, she’s the only one that comes close to “taking over” Lee Hyori’s position. (Lee Hyori said this herself too.) It’s died down and if she makes a good comeback, she can save her career. Look at Baek Ji Young; her scandal was much worse and she’s overcome it all.
As for her love life, I think it’s absolutely adorable, those pictures!
i’m glad that son dambi got the song
she completely deserves it. she’s gone through so much and tried really hard to get to fame. i’m happy for her! although i do hope that ivy comes back into the public eye more…
Im 3rd.. yehey!!!
Oookay..at least someone benefited from it.
Ivy’s been through a lot, keep your head up!
I think that the antis should go away and leave Ivy alone. So what, she made a mistake and she has definitely paid for it. Let the girl start her life anew and fresh. Good Luck to her and I hope she makes a comeback like no other.
ivy’s gone through alot of crap she doesn’t deserve…she’s so down to earth and chill…th antis need to get a life! i’m happy for her an tesung!
just be confident…
i agree
both Son Dambi and Ivy aren’t worth the attention in my opinion. They really need more vocal training and practice~
I would’ve loved to see Ivy sing that song cause she’s got a great voice and girl can sure dance!

Bye
That’s too bad cause Ivy is quite talented!
I could totally see her singing and dancing that song!
Hoping she’ll come back soon!
Ivy could totally rock that song! I’m pretty sure she can have another successful comeback…..she always has!
I’m not sure about how she’s gunna go about and comeback because Son Dambi has definitely filled the void she left. It used to be Chae Yeon (kindof…), Hyori, and Ivy battling head on for sexy, but now, it’s like Hyori’s the one and only reigning queen (although I’ve always thought she was anyway). Chae Yeon’s coming back they keep saying, but where is she now??
Dambi is an amazing dancer, too, and she’s gained so much popularity only from a short time from her debut. I mean, she’s still the lead for this American film coming up. Whether it’ll be a good movie or not, that’s still a feat up.
But Ivy would’ve totally pulled off “Crazy”! I remember her chair dance during “A-ha”, and it would’ve totally fit the choreo for “Crazy”, too. I went to go watch it just now, and I even noticed similarities in its choreo to “Saturday Night”. ^^
Ivy is an amazing performer and I’m pretty sure if she comes back it’ll be successful….I mean all of her comebacks have been successful!
As for Chaeyeon, she was supposed to comeback in March, but I guess she’s waiting for all the big competition to leave the scene first! lol
aha! So she been low key smooching around these past months. Least she got someone. I’m still waiting for the comeback though -.-. Ivy, yes you can!!
What’s with PopSeoul’s recent extremely long articles?
