Mikeru On Korean Music Today

Isak N Jiyeon (이삭 N 지연) was a Korean female duo formed by SM Entertainment in 2002. The group has since been disbanded. Many think the disbandment was due to low album sales and lack of popularity, but that wasn't the case; the only problem with the duo was timing: Isak had to go back to her home in southern California because of her family situation (her American father and Korean mother separated). Although Jiyeon, the other member of the duo, is currently involved in SM's project named The Grace, a four-member Korean girl group that sings, dances and acts, Isak says that the duo is not done yet; "Nobody knows when the new album will come out, but we do talk about it a lot." Since Isak is still under SM Entertainment, she is featured in the SM Town albums and videos and continues to do a variety of different work, such as being DJ and VJ for Arirang TV, MC work for various networks, and small acting roles on network television.
