Lina (I really hate calling her by this name), or rather Jiyeon, was originally in this duo before going into Cheon Sang Ji Hee (Tenjo Chiki). They were developed by the same company that gave us S.E.S., H.O.T, Shinhwa and BoA. Isak Kim stood out because of German-Korean heritage, but audiences seemed to consider her the ugly half of the two girls. Although, I think SM really wanted Jiyeon to be the spotlight by making Isak seem less attractive (those awful hairstyles they gave her are evidence enough). "Tell Me Baby" is their only successful single (they had three in total). It was an R&B ballad that grabbed many people's attention. Unfortunately, their album was really boring so I don't blame people for losing interest in these girls. On a somewhat related note, anyone else notice that Jiyeon got some "work" done before joining TSZX?

This B-side from Lina (Ji-yeon) of Tenjo Chiki was the most refreshing of each member's solo songs. It's a rich and staid power pop rock track sealed with Lina's forcible voice.
