Biography[edit]
Lee Sun-hee was born in 1964 in Boryeong, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea.[9] She was raised near a secluded Buddhist temple by her mother and her father, a Buddhist monk who belongs to a sect of the religion that allows monks to marry and have children.[10] She attended Sangmyung High School and graduated from Incheon City College in 1984 with a degree in environmental management.[11]
In 1984, she participated in the 5th MBC Riverside Song Festival as a team named '4막 5장' with Im Sung-kyun, senior of the same department of university, and made her debut earning great attention to win the Grand Prize with a song 'To J'. At that time, she had a perm in a hurry because she was afraid that she might be caught the fact that she competed in the festival without any permission by her parents. That's why she seems so out of place.
When Lee Sun-hee visited the music office of Jang Wook-jo, a South Korean songwriter, in the second year of high school to find a song to sing, a composer named Lee Se-geon was throwing bunch of sheet music away in the garbage can. Sun-hee asked him watching that scene, 'Can I use this?', and picked music with his permission. Surprisingly, the song in that music was 'To J', her debut and signature song which gave her grand prize of festival. There was a joke that Jeon Doo-hwan, South Korean president at that time, would ban 'To J' in radio because the song reminded the nation of the president because his family named starts with 'J'. In fact, this song was used when satirizing the news that always report their president at first.
She was famous for having female fans more than male fans even though she is a woman because of her explosive singing ability and the charm of her boyish attire. It is the beginning of 'sister unit'. At that time, video of her stage performance shows screaming sound of female fans like the sound coming out in the male idol's stage performance by yelling fans nowadays. The size of her sister unit of Lee Sun-hee was so huge, and the power of her sister unit was so great that there was a rumor that the company gave money and mobilized people.
Lee Sun-hee's round glasses and curt hair caused so-called 'Lee Sun-hee syndrome', which was popular among female students at that time. The unique image making that sticks to a course wearing pantsuit costume and her appearance like a shy boy attracted not only male fans but also female fans in 'Lee Sun-hee syndrome'. Social atmosphere that rejects the decadent trend set up the environment that singers with healthy image like her can succeed and stretch their wings. Additionally, Lee Sun-hee was able to make herself popular with her unique vocal ability expressing strong power at high notes and songs that stimulate emotions of young women.
Musical style[edit]
During her 30th anniversary concert tour, Sun-hee broadcast a clip during the intermission revealing her three biggest musical influences: Barbra Streisand, Madonna, and Whitney Houston.She has mentioned Korean vocalist 송창식 (Song Chang-sik) as one of her influences and role models. Sun-hee possesses a warm, lyric-soprano voice with sturdy lows and bombastic highs. In addition to being a vocalist, Sun-hee is also a songwriter, writing many of the songs on her later albums (including the celebrated hit 인연 'Fate').

Untitled[edit]
'The King and the Clown' is a feature movie that was made and released in South Korea in 2005.
The fictitious story of 왕의남자 (literally, 'the king and the man') takes place in Korea during the Joseon dynasty a few centuries ago. Two friends belonging to the low-status occupation of acrobat wind up being 'invited' to perform at the palace in Hanyang (Seoul) for the king. Difficulties ensue.
Somewhat more detailed summary:
WARNING: SPOILER---------------
One of the acrobats is very good; the other is a man who looks like - and performs as - a very pretty woman (and displays womanly behavior), though the fact that he is a man is revealed to the street audiences before the end of a performance. The two are held in the Namsadang troupe by the equivalent of a pimp. After a conflict concernng using the second performer as a male prostitute, the two escape and make their way to Seoul. Showing up another pair of street-performers, they and a small troupe they bring with them get called to the court of the bored king. The performers are scared out of their wits and can barely perform. However, the second acrobat saves them by making the king laugh. The troupe becomes the darling of the king. But this runs afoul of the queen, when she sees the king being (sexually) attracted to the pretty man. At about this point, intrigues follow, with a play-within-the-movie enlightening the king as to how his mother had died, revenge, attempted and successful killings, and the troupe being broken down by jealousy on various sides. The brutality gets fairly extreme, and at the end of the movie there is a revolt against the king.
The movie was the leading box-office attraction in January 2006.
Director[edit]

Cast (and Characters)[edit]

- Jeong, Jin-yeong 정진영 (연산) King Yeonsan
- Kang, Seon-yeong 강성연 (녹수) Nok-soo
- Lee, Joon-ki 이준기 (공길) Gong-Gil
Question: Isn't his name usually spelt Lee Jun Ki? sierraskyeshoei 17:27, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
It is but the U character in Korean sounds like a oo sound, so often times people will put the oo instead. I consider it incorrect myself but I won't touch it. But it is Jun Ki even his wiki article is named that. 70.127.190.51 04:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC) (shoot I'm not logged in)

Authenticity[edit]
The movie is not supposed to be a historical documentary. That said, I would say that there are some time inconsistencies.There appears to be red gimchee served at the feast. This would have to be after 1549, the earliest possible date for chili peppers being in Korea. There is also a key scene where an imitation loaf of bread is shown and named. Bread and the word for it were also introduced by the Portuguese not earlier than the middle part of the 16th century. But King Yeonsan(gun) (the only king in the movie) was deposed in 1506.-Kim Dammers
Title[edit]
I have added 'the king's Man' (singular), since this is the only title that I have heard from the many Koreans to whom I have spoken about the film, and it is what they spontaneously call it. (Korean does not usually differentiate between sg. and pl., so either word [man or men] is a correct translation from the orginal word. Which one to choose would depend on such factors as one's interpration of the movie and the working title's wording. ~~!~~
Finding this article[edit]
When I type in 'the king and the clown' i get a notice that there is no article on this topic.
- That's because they're all in lower cases.
- That's what I figured out, but I wonder how many potential users are lost, since lower case entries are accepted so widely on the Internet. What's more, when I type in 'iron,' I DO get the article named Iron! That's really inconsistent. Kdammers 09:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

'Yi' - the play[edit]
Do we have any information on the play upon which the movie is based? Author, date, publication, English translations? Thanks, Haiduc 16:16, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- apparently the play itself was based on one line in history books where it was said that the king 'liked his clown very much' --Akachan 03:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Summary[edit]
I am making a descriptive summary of this film and will post it on the article. -scotchMB
Plot[edit]
There's a mistake in the 'Plot' section of the article where it says that the queen arranged for Gong-Gil to be killed during the hunting trip. It was actually 2 court officials/ministers who plotted this almost assassination, not the queen. sierraskyeshoei 17:27, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Song 'In-yeon' (인연, 'Fate') by Lee Sun-Hee[edit]
This article features a huge soundtrack list, but I can't find this song in the list. Why? Is this song not on any soundtrack? (Possibly, though I'd be very surprised.) -andy 77.191.220.206 (talk) 16:50, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
