Background information

The first lead track was "10 Minutes", composed by Kim Do-hyun, who also composed "That's Right" from Shinhwa's 11th album The Classic in 2013.[3]

"Hey Girl" was the follow-up single. The video was banned on some networks due to its sexual imagery, although Lee said that it was the same as her first video and therefore she did not see why this had to be banned. The single was not performed as frequently as the first one, and promotions for the album were completed soon after. The third single was "Remember Me".

Reception

The album was reportedly in such high demand that 70,000 copies were pre-ordered. The album's success allowed Hyori to become the highest-paid female artist in South Korea. It debuted at number three on the RIAK monthly chart for August 2003, selling 79,361 copies in the first month of its release.[4] The music video for "10 Minutes" received a Mnet Music Video Festival award for Most Popular Music Video in 2003.[5] In 2021, "10 Minutes" was ranked the 16th best K-pop song of all-time by Melon and Seoul Shinmun.[6]
