Her music tends to be primarily dance with a heavy techno influence. She released her 5th album titled, Passion earlier this year and she incorporated Latin style of music, complete with Spanish Guitar and flamenco-style tap dance. Her first single, Wa (Come) topped the Korean charts for three weeks, while her third, Ba Kkwo (Change) won awards for Best Song and Most Broadcasted Song. Many of her songs are sung in an angry mood, from the point of view of a rejected lover.
Wa and Ba Kkwo were also included in the Korean release of the game Dance Dance Revolution. Fan-made DDR dance steps of her other works are popular with players of DDR simulators.
An interesting fact about Lee Jung Hyun is that when she performs on stage she attatches a wireless microphone to her finger, so that her dancing will not interfere with the sound. The action she uses when singing into her microphone has became a trademark of her style.
She may be petite, but the energy she exudes is powerful and passionate. She enjoys wakeboarding, skydiving, scuba Diving and sattelite Observation. In late 2004, Lee Jung Hyun debuted in Japan with the single Heaven. Her album hit number three in Japan and it's no wonder. Fans there adore her as much as her fans in Korea.
