Ivy missed out on “Crazy”

Son Dambi’s breakthrough hit was meant for Ivy?

With “Saturday Night” sweeping the #1 spots on music programs, the new hit maker has become the reigning queen of dance. Although I feel that “Saturday Night” does not deserve the recognition, Dambi definitely does. Woman has worked her booty off in incredibly short skirts and showing off her curves at every turn. Last year along with her rising popularity on the now declining, “We Got Married,” Dambi’s “Crazy” chair dance became a huge sensation and made Dambi a bona-fide diva. Yet, it has recently been revealed that the producers of “Crazy”, The Brave Brothers, created this song for the fallen sexy dance icon of Korea, Ivy, in mind. Dambi’s management, however, heard the song first and scooped it up. Ivy has been out of the limelight for the past two years due to a sex tape scandal unleashed in 2007.

For those of you who don’t know, Ivy debuted in 2005 and rose to prominent fame for showing great potential as a female pop act. Her biggest hit was “Sonata of Temptation,” shot her to fame. She was a BIG NAME and rising toward A-List status, but then suddenly her ex-boyfriend came onto the scene, and threatened to release a sex video of her and there were huge allegations that Ivy had cheated with her ex-boyfriend on Wheesung. The supposed sex tape was never made public, but her success took a nose dive nonetheless.

Although her ex-boyfriend was arrested and sentenced to jail for just a year, Ivy was forced to stop all activities. The fallen pop act was also slapped with a 120 million won fine for tarnishing her endorsement with Reebok, in addition to litigation with her management company, Fantom Entertainment. Not only that, her music video for “Sonata of Temptation” got a lot of bad press because, apparently, the director decided to simulate the fight between Tifa and Loz from Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, which by the way is just a pretty movie with no substance, without proper permission from Square Enix. So poor girl has been through a lot of crap. How much she brought onto herself is debatable, but still that much bad press could kill somebody.

Luckily though, at least she has found love. Earlier this year, reporters found out Ivy was dating songwriter Kim Tae-song frolicking happily in the snow. It has also been reported that Ivy plans to come back into the music industry, but there has been a lot of negativity by antis, protesting her return. There has also been random speculation that Ivy was dating Kim to boost herself, but songwriters barely get notice and don’t make a lot of money.

Well, despite the new man, Ivy is staying under the radar, as revealed by the lyrics she wrote for Girls Generation’s (SNSD) “Dear Mom” under the pseudonym, “The Lighthouse.” Current boyfriend Kim had composed “Dear Mom,” which is off of SNSD’s latest mini-album, “Gee.” The song is pretty simple, yet touching, and you can feel that Ivy feels bad for not being a better daughter and woman in the past.

But she has the future to make it up, right?!
