Lee Mi-joo is best known among the K-pop fans community for her hilarious and outgoing personality that makes everyone fall on their backs laughing. Owing to that, she found success in variety shows like Sixth Sense and Hangout With Yoo which made her a household name and even got her Female Rookie of the Year Award at the MBC Entertainment Awards.
Although she has made her impression as an entertainer, Mi-joo started her career as a K-pop idol in the group Lovelyz under Woollim Entertainment. Along with Baby Soul, Jiae, Jisoo, Kei, Jin, Su-jeong and Yein, she made her debut in 2014 and has had hit songs like AH Choo, Destiny and more in their discography. However, the members are now signed to different agencies and focusing on solo activities.
Therefore, Lee Mi-joo is also making her debut as a solo singer this year and reaffirming her status as an idol, contrary to how she is jokingly called a comedian-singer by popular MC Yoo Jae-suk. Her first single album is titled Movie Star and is set to be released this month. Prior to it, concept photos have been released that reveal the singer in a glam-chic avatar.

In the pictures, she is seen wearing a black dress with a big white bow, accessorised with white gloves and a black bow ribbon keeping the hair together. Titled as a classic version, she truly exudes a retro celebrity photoshoot, especially the bathrobe look with sunglasses and leisure around.
Earlier, the modern version of concept pictures was released in which she was seen donning glamourous outfits, that are in the trend nowadays. While this version has more of a neutral yet alluring look, the classic version gives her more edge and feels closer to her celebrity persona.
Along with the pictures, story films about her album were also unveiled to give a glimpse into the upcoming song & what it will be about. In the first film, an already debuted start Mi-joo checks on her recent event pictures before getting a call from her mother. It soon flashbacks to the past, when she first debuted as a K-pop idol.
The second film shows more about her life as a celebrity who has to go to practice, right after her schedule gets over. While working on her music or recording, many thoughts go through her mind as she contemplates her work. The last film shows how as a kid, she used to dance in front of the mirror, imagining introducing herself to the crowd. On the other hand, the grown-up Mi-joo is doing everything she imagined but can’t seem to feel a part of it.
One line of the song can be heard at the end, which says ‘Gosh, I seem so real’, which could imply that Mi-joo is yet to feel like she made it and has reached the place she aspired for. The song will definitely have an upbeat melody but deep lyrics that would express her state of mind and experience as a public figure.
