SeeYa (Hangul: 씨야) is a South Korean female trio made up of Nam Gyu-ri, Kim Yeon ji, and Lee Bo ram.
History
Their start came from the producers of boy band SG Wannabe, who decided to create a female version of the group. In 2005 they hosted auditions where Nam Gyu-ri, Kim Yeon-ji, and Lee Bo-ram were selected from a pool of about four-hundred hopefuls. The trio then received voice and dance training from k-pop's top producers and singers. It is rumored that up to ₩ 1,000,000,000 was invested on SeeYa to ensure their success.
Although their album 《The First Mind》 was released in early 2006, their first single already made it to the top of the charts by spring. They debuted with "A Woman's scent" (여인의 향기) and "Shoes" (구두). They have also performed "Because I Love You" (사랑하기 때문에), which features SG Wannabe. They have continued performing through the year with "Crazy Love Song" (미친 사랑의 노래) a song from The Invisible Man (투명인간 최장수) soundtrack. They also performed a dance remix of "Crazy Love Song" to showcase their dancing ability.
Their second album 《Lovely Sweet Heart》 was released on May 25, 2007. The album sold 81,723 copies in 2007, making it the fifth best-selling album in Korea for the year, according to the Music Industry Assocication of Korea. The title track is "Love's Greeting" (사랑의 인사), which is awarded in the many of music festival of Korea, such as Golden Disk Awards, MKMF. The following track called "Shall We Marry?" (결혼 할까요) and "Ice doll" (얼음 인형) is favorably commented upon.
On January 2, 2008 SeeYa released a special album with the title 《California Dream》. The album stands apart for containing famous songs that the band has remade in its own way, such as "The Day," which Kim Yeon-ji sang along with Brown Eyed Girls's Jea; "Flying in the deep night" (깊은 밤을 날아서), which Nam Gyu-ri sang for a movie's original soundtrack; an O.S.T. song "The First time in that place" (처음 그 자리에) from the TV drama "Full House" originally performed by Lee Bo-ram, and others. The new album will also include "Sad footsteps also known as Shoes II" (슬픈 발걸음), which has received a favorable response from listeners since its online release on December 17. They performed their next hit song, "I still like You" (그래도 좋아), on January 31, 2008 in the Seoul Music awards.
Their third album 《Brilliant Change》 was released on September 26, 2008. Their title track is "Hot Girl". The "Hot Girl" is an electronic and upbeat song and is different to the usual songs that SeeYa promotes.
Korean Top Artist Lee Hyori stated in an interview She said, "SeeYa are not only a group with singing talents, but one that has everything, I have seen their hidden talents because of the closeness we share from juniors to seniors ." And She added, "I previewed the full-length album and I was so surprised at their transformation, and This album is one in which you can see all of SeeYa’s charms."
