Singer Ivy is going through a rough patch after the arrest of a man named Yu (31) last week who had attempted to blackmail her with a revealing video clip showing him with the K-pop star. “It is possible that such video clips exist since Ivy slept over at Yu’s place quite often, but none were shot with her consent,” Ivy publicist Fantom Entertainment said Friday.

Ivy / 아이비

Ivy (아이비) (born 박은혜 (Park Eunhye), November 7, 1982) is a K-pop singer who debuted in 2005 with the album Vol. 1 - My Sweet and Free Day. Although she has a strong voice, the record company chose the "sexy" route by releasing "오늘밤 일 (What Happened Tonight) as her first single. Since the song was about her cheating on her boyfriend with a one night stand, it was accompanied by a suggestive video. The official second single "A ha.." continued this sexy style, and it was popular enough to be parodied by female comedienne Park Kyung Lim; however, her record company also released "바본가봐" (I Am A Fool), a ballad that gave Ivy a reprieve from her sexy image and a chance showcasing her powerful voice. This song was mostly promoted on the MBC music show Music Camp, known for its "live performances only" policy; "A ha.." was performed on the other shows. The album was not a breakout hit, but consistent sales allowed it to place 48th for the year[1], thanks due to the popularity of her singles and heavy promotion on the various music shows. Although inactive for most of 2006, she has collaborated with Shinhwa for their album State Of The Art on the track "Highway Star".

She was educated at Dongduk Women's University.

On February 14, 2007, Ivy's second album, Vol. 2 - A Sweet Moment, was released, with the lead single "유혹의 소나타" (Sonata of Temptation) featuring Wheesung, performing very well on the charts. Despite this, The song's music video has caused controversy, as it recreates a fight scene between Tifa and Loz from Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, apparently without proper permission (although a disclaimer appears on the video). In April, the Seoul Central District Court banned the music video from being shown on television, stating that "most of the clip is noticeably similar to scenes from the film". The story has received coverage on gaming blogs internationally, including Kotaku, which noted that the director has stated that he was unable to find the contact info for Square Enix.

She also performed as an opening act for Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics Tour along with Lee Min Woo of korean boy band Shinhwa in South Korea.
