Harisu (album)

Harisu is the self-titled fourth studio album by Harisu, released in South Korea by Universal Music on January 24, 2006.[1] It was seen as her comeback album following a two-year absence from the Korean music scene, and marked a change in her image with an emphasis on being "cute" rather than "sexy".[2] The album itself features pop music that ranges in style between R&B, hip hop, disco and slow ballads. Harisu's then boyfriend (now ex-husband) Micky Jung also worked on the album, his contributions including a rap on "Winter Story",[3][4] which was released as a digital single in December 2005. A music video was filmed for lead track "Reaction", a song written by Shin Myeong-gu, who had previously produced albums for Diva and NRG.[2] The album peaked at #46 on the MIAK K-pop albums chart, selling 1,596 copies in its first month of release.[5]
