Harisu is the self-titled fourth studio album by Harisu,released in South Korea by Universal Music on January 24,2006. [1] It was seen as her comeback album following a two-year absence from the Korean music scene,and marked a change in her image with an emphasis on being "cute" rather than "sexy". [2] The album itself features pop music that ranges in style between R&B,hip hop,disco and slow ballads. Harisu's then boyfriend (now ex-husband) Micky Jung also worked on the album,his contributions including a rap on "Winter Story", [3] [4] which was released as a digital single in December 2005. A music video was filmed for lead track "Reaction",a song written by Shin Myeong-gu,who had previously produced albums for Diva and NRG. [2] The album peaked at #46 on the MIAK K-pop albums chart,selling 1,596 copies in its first month of release. [5]
Harisu was also released in Taiwan and China,with the addition of Mandarin-language versions of "Reaction" and "Sleeping Beauty". The Chinese CD omitted several other tracks,but was packaged with a photo booklet and bonus VCD,containing music videos and TV footage.
