Rising Female Singer Becomes YouTube Sensation with ‘Ex-Boyfriend Exorcism Song’ Covers

Singer Ailee is a leading figure in the music industry, widely recognized for her fierce and powerful voice. Recently, she graced the red carpet event of “KBS Immortal Songs 2022: King of Kings” held at the Songdo Convensia Convention Center in Incheon on the 5th. Ailee was among a stellar lineup of artists, including Jung Hong-il, Hwanhee, Monni, Eun-chul Oh, Stephanie, Seo Eun-kwang, Kim Ki-tae, Kim Jae-hwan, Forestella, Kim Joon-hyun, and Lee Chan-won.

Just recently, Ailee concluded her performance for the “2022 Ailee National Tour Concert: One More Step” on the 3rd at Changwon and is currently gearing up for more diverse and spectacular performances across her upcoming concert locations.

The talented singer is now affiliated with A2G Entertainment (Pop Music), the agency run by Yoon Sang Kei from Lovelyz, after completing a one-year exclusive contract with THE L1VE, which was founded by Ravi from VIXX.

Despite her impressive legacy as a singer, Ailee recently garnered attention by sharing insights from her pre-debut days that may surprise many fans. In her appearance on TV Chosun’s “Huh Young-man’s Food Travel” , Ailee disclosed that she held dual citizenship and had received numerous offers from agencies in the U.S.

She elaborated, “I wanted to be a singer when I was young, and I had many offers to pursue a singing career in the U.S., but my heart was set on doing it in Korea.”

Ailee explained her choice by stating, “I grew up watching popular music programs such as ‘Inkigayo‘ and ‘Music Bank‘, which fueled my love for Korean culture.” She also noted that during her early days on YouTube, her videos drew significant attention, leading her to receive offers from various Korean agencies.

Interestingly, Ailee initially began her career as an actress, not as a singer.

In the past, Ailee played a member of an idol girl group in the drama “Dream High 2” but chose to shift her focus primarily to music, expressing her strong passion for it. However, she has not ruled out the possibility of acting again, stating that she might explore it when she feels “greedy” for that artistic avenue.

When questioned about her interest in becoming a musical actress, she replied, “It’s challenging for me as I worry that acting or performing in musicals alongside my music activities might be detrimental. I’ve had numerous casting offers, but many of them fell short of my expectations,” she confessed.

Alongside her music career, Ailee is also a popular YouTuber with a following of 720,000 subscribers, though she has temporarily paused her content creation on the platform.

Ailee is set to make a vibrant comeback with a new song, and there’s no need to mention her “ex-boyfriend” anymore, as she has announced her upcoming wedding scheduled for May 2025.

Previously, Ailee shared details about her relationship and engagement with Choi Si-hoon, who is recognized for his appearance on Netflix’s “Solo Hell” , receiving an outpouring of congratulations from fans.

As Ailee prepares to embark on a joyful married life, moving on from her past relationship, fans are eager to see what her next song will bring.
