Fans waiting for Lee Hyori's new album might have to wait even longer as it could be delayed till next year. Hyori's management, MNET Media announced today that her 4th album, scheduled for release this September would have to be postponed. This is because Hyori is currently looking into some new projects and she doesn't want to diversify her attention with multiple projects at the same time. It's understood that production on Hyori's 4th album hasn't started yet. Hyori's company representative said in an interview, "Hyori's 4th album scheduled for September might be delayed till next year instead because she is currently considering some new projects. Hyori wants to be fully prepared towards every project and doesn't want to just release an album just bcause it's nearing release time. She would rather delay her comeback and produce a better quality album instead." Lee Hyori had met with great success with the release of her 3rd album last year as her songs like U-Go-Girl and Hey Mr. Big reaffirmed her status as the sexy queen of the Korean music industry. Fans who have been looking forward to her comeback in the latter half of 2009 will no doubt be disappointed at this latest announcement. No mention was made of what the new projects might be although Lee Hyori is currently active and seen weekly on SBS Family Outing. Her increasing popularity has seen offers coming in from China, Japan, etc Asian countries, hoping to get her to perform. So the new projects that she is considering at the moment might be related to this. Lee Hyori was recently in Shanghai, China to film a CF, which can be seen below. credit: Barbie1r
