Actress Yoon Eun Hye has announced plans of making her official debut as a solo singer in Japan. She will be the first female Hallyu star to do so. A number of male Hallyu stars, namely Lee Byung Hun, Ryu Si Won and Ahn Jae Wook have debuted as singers in Japan holding concerts and releasing albums. Conversely, female Hallyu stars such as Choi Ji Woo, Song Hye Kyo, and Son Ye Jin amongst others have only ever been limited to fan meetings and fan signings. For this reason alone, Yoon Eun Hye is gaining public interest as the first female Hallyu star to become active as a singer in Japan. It has been reported that Yoon Eun Hye recently worked with a global recording agency and is currently undergoing preparations to release an album in Japan. Yoon will work with a famous Japanese producer by the latter half of the year's end and the album is scheduled for a release in early 2011. Yoon Eun Hye's agency, The House Company stated, "We have yet to finalize the contract so we cannot release the details, but we have completed discussions with a global recording studio. We have agreed to work with an experienced Japanese producer who has worked with many famous idol stars." Yoon Eun Hye became a big Hallyu star as her dramas�Goong (MBC),�Coffee Prince (MBC) and�My Fair Lady (KBS) became huge hits with viewers. Ever since 2008, Yoon has held 2-3 fan meetings per year and attracting close to 2000~3000 fans, showcasing her ticket-selling power. In her recent�Japanese fan meeting�which was held on September 18, she received praise for singing the theme of�Goong, "Perhaps Love", and two other songs during the fan meeting held in Tokyo Nakano Zero Hall. The audience especially showed a passionate response when Yoon Eun Hye displayed her guitar playing skills. The House Company stated, "After the success of the recent fan meeting, many people involved in the Japanese music industry approved and supported her. It also helped that her old girl group, Baby V.O.X., was popular as a Hallyu group in Asia." Meanwhile, Yoon will officially commence her acting activities in November, with the film, The Graduation League (working title), which will open in theaters in March 2011. This marks Yoon's return to the big screen in 5 years, which will then be followed by the melodramatically themed series Love Song, which is currently in the process of casting their male leads.
