Official Baby Vox Thread

OFFICIAL BABY VOX THREAD! Welcome to the Official Baby VOX Thread! Even though Baby VOX has broken up, you can still find good information here and occasional updates. 1997 was Year of the VOX. Baby VOX, the VOX standing for 'Voice of eXpression', debuted in 1997 with then members Jang Shieun, Jang Hyunjun, Yumi, Lee Heejin and Kim Eiji. The first single released 'Muhli Hah Neun Nahl', or 'Haircut' in English, was styled after a new English group, the Spice Girls. The song didn't do so well, only reaching 47th in the kpop charts. After releasing another single and two music videos, Baby VOX decided to make some changes. Three of the original members, Jang Shieun, Jang Hyunjin and Yumi were taken out of the group and three new, fresh faces were brought in. When Baby VOX's second album was released, the group was comprised of Kim Eiji and Lee Heejin of the original group along with three new singers, Kan Miyoun, Sim Eunjin and Lee Gai. Kan Miyoun had participated in some first album activities, as she was phased to make the member change easier. The singles released off this album were 'Ya Ya Ya' and 'Change'. These two songs fared much better with fans and Baby VOX reached as high as 7th in the kpop charts. Unfortunately, Lee Gai was unsuitable for the group, and she was asked to leave. It was time to find the final new member. In 1999, Baby VOX released their third album, titled 'Come Come Come Baby' and showed off it's newest member, Yoon Eunhye. Once Eunhye joined the group, the Baby VOX we knew up until 2005 was complete. With each new album, Baby VOX had become to be known as very verstile, and this new look was no different. The new, more mature look helped this album soar. The singles from this album were 'Get Up', 'Killer' and 'Missing You'. 'Get Up' topped the kpop charts and has remained thier best selling album to date. In 1999, Baby VOX also hit the Chinese market and has had a very strong fanbase ever since. The year 2000 marked another new album for Baby VOX, titled 'Why'. This album showed a very elegant and graceful look for the girls. Their fame was growing more and more. The singles released this time were 'Why', 'Baeshin', and 'Hu Rak' (Affection). By this time, Baby VOX had established themselves as one of the biggest Korean female groups around, comparable to SES or FinKL. Because they were so young and vibrant, Baby VOX made it a point to excel in dancing and performing, which added to thier popularity. In the fifth album, 'Boyish Story', Baby VOX did a complete turn around and featured a sharp, boyish look. Always amazing fans, the singles released were 'Game Over' and 'In Hyung' (Doll). In this album, Baby VOX stepped into the world of song writing. Each member wrote and composed a song on this album, showing strength and talent and that their sucess has not come from their image alone. May of 2002 showcased a compilation album, titled 'Special Album'. It is a box set containing three music cds with a VCD and a small photo book. The first two cds were comprised of past Baby VOX hits made into a non-stop dance mix. The third cd was full of ballads, with the VCD consisting of a music video for the new single 'Go', and fun self cameras. It is a nice set to show off all of Baby VOX's accomplishments. By this time, each member had started to branch off a little bit and do some projects that interested each person. Eunhye and Eunjin modeled for various companies, while Heejin and Eiji acted in a drama. Miyoun usually doesn't do advertisments or act, preferring to work on her voice. All members are always seen popping up on various television game shows and talk shows. While they are strong as a group, individually, each member shines. The next step for Baby VOX was to go totally live! In September of 2002, Baby VOX held their first, totally live full length concert. It was two hours long and a full stage production. They sang songs ranging from the second to special album. Each member also performed a small side production. For example, Kim Eiji did a ballet dance and Lee Heejin did a swing dance. The concert was released in VCD format and was a great sucess for Baby VOX. In the winter of 2003, Baby VOX launched a 'world tour'. They visited Hong Kong, USA, Thailand, China and other spots. Baby VOX was very well recieved around the world and the tour only furthered thier popularity. In March of 2003, Baby VOX released their first Japanese Mini Album. It's similar to a US single. It featured thier hit song 'Go' sung in Japanese. There were a few 'Go' remixes as well as a song from the fourth and fifth album. It was a sucess in Japan and another internation highpoint for Baby VOX. April of 2003 brought another musical release, the sixth album, titled 'Devotion'. Another spectacular change from past albums, this album is highly techo and trance in sound and style. The singles from this album are 'What Can I Do', 'Devotion' and 'I'm Still Loving You'. 'What Can I Do', is a cover version of a title by Kim Changhwan and 'I'm Still Loving You' is sung in Mandarin Chinese especially for all Chinese fans. While those songs are the released singles, Baby VOX performed many songs from the album, just a few times. Songs such as 'Majimaken' and 'Catch Me'. And music videos were made for the three released singles, a video for 'May Be Love' was also made and released. Baby VOX keeps changing and evolving and they keep coming out with widespread hits. Even though Baby VOX didn't totally enjoy this album, many fans think this is the best album to date and it turned out to be a huge sucess for Baby VOX. After a long and much anticipated wait, Baby VOX released their first ever Photo Album in May of 2003. It's a 93 page photo book filled with sexy and sometimes racy photos of each member of the group. It was a release filled with controversy, as many fans thought the group was going down a road that would lead to loss of innocence and unwanted attention. Attention focused soley on their bodies, and not talent. Baby VOX triumphed once again and showed the world that you can have everything you want - good music, talent and a good, fun and sexy image. Baby VOX's purpose for this photo album was to just have a good time and try something new, which they suceeded at greatly. The next release was in April of 2004, the seventh album entitled 'Ride West'. This was another extremely anticipated album, due to it being promoted as an English album, with collaborations with Tupac Shakur and Jennifer Lopez. Many fans agree that this has not been the best album for Baby VOX, it having only two songs sung in English, 'Xcstasy' with Tupac and 'Play' with JLO and the rest of the album consisting of unecessary remixes of Xcstasy and Play and remixes of older songs. Also unfortunately, due to the dead rappers song involvement, this album did not go over too well. Many fans of Tupac protested Baby VOX's company using Tupacs vocals and a video of him, saying it wasn't right and that Baby VOX was only using Tupac for financial gain. There was even talk of Baby VOX and thier company being sued by Tupac's mother, saying that Baby VOX took Tupac's song and image illegally, but Baby VOX's involvement in any lawsuit was non-existant. Another negative spin for Baby VOX due to 'Ride West' is thier new, very sexy image. While most fans have no problem with thier clothing and seductive dances, a member of the kpop/rap group DJDOC, angered by Baby VOX using Tupac, called Baby VOX richard simmons and denounced them. All the accusations from DJDOC caused Baby VOX to stop all seventh album activities and take some time off. Due to all the negative publicity, Baby VOX has put a US debut on hold. While on hiatus until the eighth album, Baby VOX has been doing some solo activities. In the past on breaks, the girls either act on tv or in musicals or model for advertisements. Lately, Eunhye has become a familiar face on TV shows such as game show XMAN and a news correspondant, even for the 2004 Olympic Games. Eunjin has joined up with a new group WaWa, participating in thier debut song 'BaBa' by lending her vocals and performing with them. In 2004 Baby VOX has made a few trips to Thailand and China and while on thier break, Heejin, Eiji and Miyoun have been relaxing and keeping out of the spotlight. In January of 2005, Baby VOX's contract with DRMusic was at an end. Lee Heejin, Kim Eiji, Kan Miyoun and Yoon Eunhye all re-signed with DRMusic. Shim Eunjin, however, did not, and split with Baby VOX to persue her own solo and acting career. In July of 2005, Yoon Eunhye split with Baby VOX to become an actress. Eunhye has become amazingly popular, staring in a full length movie and and a major drama, 'Goong' and 'Coffee Prince'. In March of 2006, Baby VOX broke up. With Eunjin and Eunhye gone, the other members started looking in to solo projects and eventually made the decision to disband. Fans around the world were heartbroken. Kan Miyoun recorded her first album that debuted in the late summer of 2006. Kim Eiji is currently training to be actress and had a long run on MNET. Heejin will soon make her cable tv debut in a drama and act in a musical. The girls still get together for events and to hang out, so they're not all gone forever! Baby VOX has always held a special place in the heart of fans everywhere and they always will.

Especially, her eyes and her nose are a masterpiece, often mistaken for fakes (plastic surgery).

I saw the post with the bio of your first two members; EZ & Mi Youn,

so I was wondering why hee-jin wasn't there. :P

ooo i've liked them a lot! i wish they werre all back together T__T

I love baby vox. They were better as a 5 member group tho. Most of their songs are catchy and nice. I love Eunjin..she's so pretty :)

*sigh*......i wished they were still together!!!

i saw them in person when they came to malaysia for the ROK-Asean concert thingy. they din sing though, which was a pity. they jsut showed old video clips -.-;;

yeh i like them tooo... dere reali cute ahaha im listenin to der songs atm lol

yea i like dem too wen dey were 5 last tym n love their songs!!my 2 fav.members Eunhye n Eunjin oso left oredi....

I love Baby Vox. They were my fav. Korean female group/singers. I miss seeing them all together but time has to change. I wonder, are they going to comeout with another album with just the three members that are left? I want to see more pictures of them...their photos haven't been too good lately...I like thier photos during thier 5th the most. Wish them all the best of luck! <3 baby vox!

i do like BBVox too..and it's sad to see eunjin and eunhye left the group..:(

what three members left only how sad!

:(

actually, it's more like.. eunjin went solo, AND then eunhye went solo..

man.. i don't blame eunjin and eunhye going solo after "ride west". That album sucked major toe jam.

I've met them when they come to Malaysia recently. They seems nice. But when they don't perform when

they should perform. The fans are really sad. When we know the reason. It really hurt. There is a clubbox

link during their entourage to Malaysia and Myanmar.

first there's 5 members, they were going well and now they're only 3 members left =(

Why did Eun Hye left? does anyone know?

my favorite members were shim eunjin and eun hye but they had to leave=[

i personally think that kan miyoun, lee heejin, and shim eunjin sing really well live.... lol

lee heejin is the lead vocal right?
