Ha Soo-bin

Ha Soo-bin was born in Gangnam District, Seoul as the youngest child in the Ha family and was raised a Roman Catholic. At a young age, she suffered from minor illnesses due to her weak immune system. Ha started listening to a variety of music at the age of three, from children's songs to classical music and pop music. At the age of five, she learned to play the piano and took up the violin many years later. Ha started writing songs, essays, and short novels during her teenage years.

While attending Gyesong Girls' High School and modeling for a clothing magazine, Ha met American singer-songwriter Tommy Page, who visited Seoul to do a commercial. According to Ha, Page her the nickname "Lisa" after Lisa Marie Presley, as he was often said to resemble Elvis Presley. Ha released her debut album Lisa in Love in 1992.[5] The album features the singles "Deo Isang Naegeapeum-eul Namgijima" (Korean: 더 이상 내게 아픔을 남기지마; lit. "Don't Leave Me Any More Pain"), "No No No No No" (Korean: 노노노노노) and "I'm Falling in Love" - the latter written by Page and originally recorded on his 1992 album A Friend to Rely On.[6][4] Lisa in Love sold over 100,000 copies.[1][2] Her second album Ha Soo Bin II was released a year later to coincide with her 20th birthday and coming-of-age ceremony, but she suddenly left the music industry after the album's release.[1][3] Ha returned to the music industry in 2010 with her third album The Persistence of Memory, but disappeared again after a series of TV performances and concerts.[1][3][7][4]

Between the releases of Ha Soo Bin II and The Persistence of Memory, Ha moved to Canada to study music and was active in numerous business ventures in South Korea and overseas, from architecture to fashion.[2][1][7][4]
