Fly to the Sky
Officially debuting on November 21, 1999, he released the album Day by Day alongside fellow member Brian Joo. In 2009, after releasing their 8th album, Decennium, the group decided its time to focus on their solo career.
Solo
In October 2009, Hwanhee released his first solo mini-album "H-Soul". The album, produced by Hwanhee was released on 22 October 2009. After 10 years of performing with Brian as Fly to the Sky, Hwanhee made his comeback as a solo artiste on MBC Music Core on 24 October 2009. His title track from the album was "심장을 놓쳐서" ("Because I Missed Your Heart"). He successfully hold a solo concert in Japan on 23 December 2009, captivating some 2,000 fans at the Japan's JCB Hall with his music. During his solo promotion period in mid December 2009, Hwanhee also participated in the solo album of Song Ji Eun from Secret. He sang a duet with Song Ji Eun. The title song named "어젠" ("Yesterday") was also written by Hwanhee. On 29 December 2009, Hwanhee's agency (H-Entercom) announced that Hwanhee would take a break from his first solo album's promotional activities due to an abrupt onset of health problems involving his vocal chords. After a hiatus of five months, Hwanhee released a digital duet titled "바보가슴" ("Foolish Heart") with female newcomer singer, 숙희 "Sook Hee" in May 2010. Hwanhee also sang "바람이 되어서라도" ("Even Becoming Wind"), the OST for the highly anticipated Korean war[vague] drama, Road No. 1 starring So Ji-sub and Kim Ha-neul. "내가 더 아플게" ("I Will Hurt More"), a digital single written by Hwanhee was released in July 2010 and it quickly climbed to top of various Korean online music sites. His second mini album "H-Hour", produced by Hwanhee was released on 5 August 2010. The title song of the album is "...하다가" ("...While Doing"). Hwanhee released a digital duet with May Doni titled "남남" ("Strangers") on 29 December 2010. On July 28, 2011, Hwanhee released his first official album. He worked with a number of renowned producers and songwriters to make this album. The music video of the title track "죽을 것만 같아" features actor Lee Jang Woo (이장우), who is his cousin as well. The original solo arrangement of 어젠 is also included in the album. A few weeks before the release of the album, Hwanhee and H-Entercom agreed to dispose of 20,000 copies of this album due to issues regarding mixing and mastering that did not meet the expectations of the artist.
Acting career
His acting debut was in 2006, when he starred alongside Kim Ok-bin in Korean drama Over the Rainbow as cocky rock star Rex. The rating of the show had been mediocre throughout its airing, plummeting to 7% at one point.[6] His performance received mixed reviews. (SBS) He continued to pursue his acting career by participating in a 2008 drama "사랑해" ("I Love You") alongside actor Ahn Jae Wook. In December 2009, Hwanhee signed an exclusive acting contract with KEYEAST Co., Ltd (previously known as Boundaries of Forest Entertainment "BOF"). KEYEAST will work with Hwanhee's current recording label, H-Entercom to manage his future acting, advertising, media publicity activities. Hwanhee has been cast in an upcoming MBC daily drama, "Stormy Lovers" (previously known as Love is stronger than Death). In the drama, he will be playing the role of "Im Hara", a prodigy PD with a playboy attitude. His attitude slowly changed after he met an older woman, Lee Tae Hee. The drama is scheduled to be air in mid November 2010, after "Golden Fish" "). Shortly after releasing his 1st album in July 2011, Hwanhee signed on for the production of the movie "Star". As of this writing, the movie is undergoing pre-production. The story will reflect on the life of Romi, portrayed by Hwanhee. Romi is an internationally renowned superstar, and the film will shed some light on the lifestyle and problems such individuals go through during the course of their careers. There is no slated release date at the moment.

‘Hwanhee’ by Hwanhee:
Hwanhee of legendary R&B duo Fly To The Sky has returned to his roots this summer, ready to serve us one sultry ballad at a time. These heart-wrenching R&B ballads are what Hwanhee does best, and boy, is it a treat to hear them again.
— Track List:
01 Temptation (Intro) 02 하루 종일 (All Day) 03 죽을 것만 같아 (I Feel Like I’m Going To Die) 04 모르게 (Without Knowing) 05 어젠 (Yesterday) (Original Hwanhee Ver.) 06 악몽 (Nightmare) 07 남남 (Strangers) (feat. May Doni) 08 T By Tears 09 사랑해 사랑해 (Love You, Love You) (feat. 세용) 10 그대가 가르쳐준 이별 (Break Up Taught By You) —
Hwanhee’s self-titled album opens with the intro track, “Temptation“, which has him belting out a quick sample of his epic vocals over a simple R&B production. The Intro is short, but to the point. It has the right amount of push and pull of Hwanhee’s vocals to segue into the songs where we can hear him properly in all his glory.
“All Day” is reminiscent of the broadness from Hwanhee’s first mini-album, “H Soul“. The minimal details of this wispy track allow Hwanhee’s voice to glide in sync with the ethereal aspects of the instrumentals. There isn’t a second where Hwanhee lets you go as you float from one end of the song to the other.
–
The lead single,”I Feel Like I’m Going To Die“, is laced with the feeling of a R&B ballad from the early 2000s, which was present in the previous track, but got intensified here with a more colorful backdrop. We hear everything at a crisper level – from the strings to the guitar riff – and with additional drips of bells and whistles, this was definitely Hwanhee’s best choice for a lead single. Personal highlight: the gratuitous key change of the middle eight, which is an absolute staple in a ballad of this magnitude.
Speaking strictly on his singles, “Feel Like Dying” isn’t as perfect-pop as his first post-Fly To The Sky single, “Because I Missed Your Heart“. But what it lacks in pace and glamor, this song makes up in emotional investment. Hwanhee spills his soul into this piece – it’s not easy translating emotion through song, but the man does it with ease.
“Feel Like Dying” is darker in tone than Hwanhee’s previous mini-albums, and that sentiment is carried throughout the rest of this album.
—
“Without Knowing” is far more delicate than anything heard so far. The entire first verse is a simple duet of a piano line and Hwanhee’s voice. It’s overflowing with romance, and the subtlety of the instrumentals paired with Hwanhee’s tender delivery helps express those feelings incredibly well. These kinds of ballads are meant to tell stories, and the delicacy with which “Without Knowing” was pieced together does just that.
-
The following song, “Yesterday“, was sung as a duet with SECRET’s Song Ji Eun for her solo single back in late 2009, which featured two versions: a duet, and a solo version with just Song Ji Eun.
The one found on this album is also a solo version; this time, sung entirely by Hwanhee. So if you’re a fan of this song, you now have a whopping three versions to enjoy!
Having listened to the duet already, it’s difficult to strip this song of one complete voice, especially when it sounds like it was meant to be that way. But given the differences in their tone, they each bring a certain character to it that give this song a new angle, musically.
–
“Nightmare” is the shifting point of the album, where we are finally given a song with a little more movement. It’s by far the most explosive song on the album. Where songs like “Feel Like Dying” were grand and full of broad strokes, “Nightmare” follows similar veins. But what this song does differently is throw in a fierce beat.
It begins on a soft note, followed by a quick rap line, then begins a mountain climb to an explosive climax. All the little details – the backup vocals, shifts between loudness to softness in the instrumental, the guitar riff – it all comes together almost flawlessly. It’s also very Hwanhee. “Nightmare” is exactly the type of song that works for him – one which he can belt to the high heavens with, as well as dance to his heart’s content. It’s timeless, sophisticated, and powerful.
–
“Strangers” is a duet with chanteuse May Doni, originally released last year. The song is warm, soothing, and May Doni sounds amazing next to Hwanhee. Both singers have stunning vocals, and when “Strangers” reaches its peak at the middle eight, it’s a complete feast for the ears. Definitely one of Hwanhee’s most compelling duets to date.
—
The following song, “T By Tears“, has become a fan favorite, and with good reason. It’s slightly dark, and slightly full of attitude, which falls right in line with the sombre overtones of this album. There’s a shadow looming over these songs, and this one definitely embraces the depths of that emotion. The phrasing really drives this song home; from verse to pre-chorus to chorus, Hwanhee not only places the right amount of emphasis and punch where needed, but he also conducts his voice with ease over the gorgeous melodies.
–
“Love You, Love You,” featuring Seyong is another classic R&B track befitting of Hwanhee’s vocal prowess. While it’s not the fastest song ever, somehow it feels like we’re moving at a pretty fast pace, as the verses seem to last about two seconds before Hwanhee and a set of breathy backup vocals push us through this weighty song. The rap comes and goes, and before you know it, you’ve reach the end. One could say this urgency reflects the feeling of wanting to say “Love You, Love You” to that special someone once you’ve realized it for the first time, and I can certainly co-sign to that.
–
The last song of the album is “Break Up Taught By You“, a final ballad that leaves a slightly regretful note. It’s emotional and as regal as ever, but after the slew of incredible songs, but this one isn’t as stand-out as some of the others. It’s a nice ballad, but not as potent or memorable as it could be.
====
One thing worth commending is Hwanhee’s confidence as a singer. Credit it to his long run in the Korean music industry, or to the simple fact that he is all raw talent, but hearing Hwanhee in complete control of his voice is at times enamoring to hear. Hwanhee has a richness that really adds a velvety touch over his songs, and it’s this fullness in his voice that really carries the melody in his music.
The album ‘Hwanhee’ comes together like lines of a poem; there are sections of high tension, and sections of resolve. It’s full of emotion, and carries one of Hwanhee’s strongest collections of vocal performances. Even more inspiring is his knack for incorporating an old-fashioned R&B style through most of the tracks, and pulling it off with ease. Hwanhee is a master of the R&B genre, and this album proves it.
