Baby VOX - Yoon Eun Hye's once-popular girl group disbanded because she was insulted as a "prostitute"

Yoon Deung Ryong - former director of DR Music company recently revealed the truth behind the disbandment of the once-popular girl group Baby VOX.

He said, the insulting words of male rapper Lee Ha Neul (DJ DOC) was one of the main reasons pushing Baby VOX to the brink of disbandment.

Director Yoon said that the song "Xcstacy" released in 2004 was the cause of the conflict between Baby VOX and Lee Ha Neul. The song was born after the company suggested that the girl group try the hip-hop genre.

In the hope that the song can make a big impact, Director Yoon went to Interscope Records to buy the rights to the sample music, logo and image of the late rapper Tupac. The group decided to use Tupac's 30-second rapping in the song Xcstacy. The male rapper also appeared in the song's MV.

However, after its release, Xcstacy immediately faced opposition from the Korean hip-hop world.

"The Korean rapper community is very angry. They wonder how their god is included in the song and MV. They think the group insults their god," Yoon Deung Ryong shared.

In April 2004, Amaru Entertainment, the company responsible for part of Tupac's music product rights, announced that they would be taking legal action against Baby VOX for using Tupac's voice without permission.

Although DR Music confirmed that the company paid for the rights to the sample music, Amaru continued to threaten that they would sue. This led Baby VOX to face charges of plagiarism and illegal use of sample music.

Lee Ha Neul was among those who heavily criticized Baby VOX. On his social media account, the male rapper openly called Baby VOX "Miari VOX", matching the group's name with Miari - which used to be a famous red light district in Korea. He repeatedly insulted the girl group, insulting them to be prostitute singers. Since then, Baby VOX's reputation has stuck with its pejorative moniker.

"This nickname ruined the group, and the members decided to go their separate ways. Every day they cry a lot," Director Yoon shared.

Yoon said he even tried to meet Lee Ha Neul at that time, however, the male rapper always tried to hide.

In 2008, Lee Ha Neul first spoke out about the incident. He said, "I admit I was wrong, but the management company and the media made the problem bigger. I feel sorry for Baby VOX." Although Ha Neul apologized, he said his opinion about Baby VOX's use of Tupac's rap remained unchanged.

In 1997, Baby VOX officially debuted, the group consisted of 5 members Lee Hee Jin, Kan Mi Youn, Kim EZ, Yoon Eun Hye and Shim Eun Jin. The group's heyday fell in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Along with Fin.KL and SES, Baby VOX is recognized as one of the most successful first-generation K-pop girl groups, contributing to leading Koreans to enter the Chinese market.

In February 2006, the group officially disbanded after a period of hiatus. Each member continues to pursue their own solo career, in which, Yoon Eun Hye is the one who has achieved the most success as an actress. Some of her typical works include Goong, Coffee Prince, The Vineyard Man...

Kan Mi Youn became the MC for his own radio show Kan Miyoun's Love Night on SBS's Love FM. She is also a musical actress. Recently, she appeared on the reality show Kick A Goal season 2. Currently, Mi Youn is still remembered as one of the most beautiful idols in Korea.

After Baby VOX disbanded, Kim EZ decided to pursue an acting career. In 2010, she married stockbroker Song Hyun Seok and gave birth to their first child in 2011.

The other two members, Shim Eun Jin and Lee Hee Jin, also decided to become actors, however, only Hee Jin is still active to this day.
