Baby V.O.X. days

When the girl group Baby V.O.X dropped a member due to a scandal,
Yoon Eun-Hye was chosen to replace her. Yoon Eun-Hye was by far the
youngest member in the group, debuting at the age of 15. She recorded
four albums with the band before leaving the group in July 2005 in order to pursue an acting career. While with the group, Eun-Hye
quickly became known as the "cute" one not only for her young age, but
because of her bright personality. However, she was also criticized for
her weight, as she looked overweight compared to her very slim band
mates. Although she debuted a new, skinnier body in early 2005, she
appeared to be experiencing a "yoyo" effect, as noted by various Korean
netizens.
Eun-Hye suffered in the hands of detractors Baby V.O.X.
when she joined the group to produce their third album. In a water gun
incident, Baby V.O.X. was scheduled to appear on Gyun-Ahn Broadcasts Music Engine
and was waiting inside their van when Eun-Hye was shot by a water gun
by an unidentified man. The man pretended to be a passionate fan of the
group and attempted to offer a Pikachu
doll as a present. Suddenly, he took out a water gun and shot Yoon
Eun-Hye right in the eye before fleeing. After being shot, Eun-Hye
expressed severe pain and could not open her eyes for a long period of
time. Baby V.O.X. had to cancel their performance and Eun-Hye was taken
straight to the hospital. There, Eun-Hye was informed that her cornea
was damaged. The members of the group claimed they smelled soy sauce
and vinegar from the water that came out of the water pistol. No
further information regarding this incident was released.

Music career


Besides singing in the band, Baby V.O.X, Yoon Eun-Hye lent her voice
to Mighty Mouth, for their song 'Sarang Hae,' better known as 'I Love
You.' She however, DOES NOT appear in the music video.

Acting career


Yoon Eun-Hye has played a small role on the sitcom "Nonstop Four", where she had a small role with MC Mong, before moving on to became a regular guest for the variety show X-Man on SBS. While on "X-Man", she became involved in a romantic scandal with popular K-pop singer Kim Jong Kook
which received coverage from a local newspaper. Although "X-Man" raised
her public profile, she left the show a year later in order to pursue
acting. Eun Hye also played Kim Jong Kook's love interest in his music video "Saying You Love Me" which was released in July 2006.
Eun Hye had her first major acting role in popular Korean drama, Princess Hours (also known as Goong). Initially, however, fans of Goong had questioned her acting ability leading to controversy.^[5][6] The success of the drama also appeared unclear as it competed with My Girl which also boasted casting of popular celebrities such as Lee Jun Ki and Lee Dong Wook.^[7]
The drama began with average ratings, but as it continued, viewership
increased to 28.3% nationally, leading to an extension of the first
season (from 20 to 24 episodes) and a Princess Hours special on MBC. Although Yoon and the other main actors initially agreed to work on a second season of Princess Hours,
only one of them officially agreed to do so. Another director of a
different company eventually filmed a spin-off series with brand new
characters, known as Goong S which was not to be confused with the actual Goong sequel planned by the original director and company.
Due to the success of her first drama, Eun Hye has been able to continue acting in other dramas such as The Vineyard Man. Like most Korean dramas at that time, The Vineyard Man initially suffered from low ratings due to strong competition from the MBC 45th anniversary drama Jumong; however, the drama ratings gradually increased and reached a successful 15.6% on its finale.
Eun Hye returned in the lead actress role for MBC's Monday/Tuesday drama "The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince"
that started airing in July 2007. In this drama, Yoon plays an employee
'Go Eun-chan' at a coffee shop, who was once a master of Taekwondo.
With her short haircut and tomboyish ways, she is presumed to be a boy
by the owner of the shop, thus leading to romantic complications
The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince garnered higher ratings than her first series Princess Hours.
Coffee Prince reached the viewership ratings as high as 32.1% in Seoul,
making it number one for it's timeslot in MBC and 29.9% nationwide
It has been reported that Eun Hye has been paid 20 million won per
episode for starring in Coffee Prince, enabling her to join Korea's
A-list of stars who also are members of the 20 million won club. This
"club" consists of Bae Yong-joon, Kwon Sang Woo, Ko Hyun Jung, Song Il kook and Yoon Eun Hye, to name a few.

Controversy with management


The chance for Yoon Eun Hye to act in Goong 2, if it is ever
produced, seems unlikely because she has feuded with her management
company, Eight Peaks which is producing Goong.
Eun Hye, who has gained enormous popularity through her role in
"Coffee Prince", had filed the second certification of contents (COC)
to cancel her contractual agreement with her management company, Eight
Peaks. When asked to reveal the information behind the second COC, Eun
Hye's counsel stated, "if Eight Peaks refused to cancel the contract
then they would not hesitate to file a lawsuit, suing them for their
refusal."
The contents of the first COC stated that in January 2007 Eun Hye was confirmed to be starring in the MBC drama "Que Sera Sera"
and had even participated and completed the script reading and
rehearsal for the upcoming shoot. However, Eight Peaks had cancelled
Eun Hye's involvement in QSS in order for Yoon to star in Eight Peaks'
self produced drama.
Consequently, after the cancellation of Eun Hye's QSS involvement, Eun Hye took a two day vacation to Kangwon-do
in March. Eight Peaks claimed that they had no knowledge of this
so-called incident and spread a rumor of Eun Hye's irresponsibility
online which damaged her reputation.
Yoon's manager, Park Geun-Soo has stated "the second COC includes
evidence to support the disagreeable actions made by Eight Peaks."
Those actions included the improper handling and distribution/division
of earnings and proceeds as well as the unilateral (one-sided) manner
of making and carrying out decisions which caused immense problems^]
It had been reported that, while Eun Hye was enjoying enormous fame
and popularity through her role in the "Coffee Prince", she was
suffering mental and emotional problems from the conflicts with Eight
Peaks.
Yoon has been diagnosed with Pernicious anemia.

New management


After having settled the disputes with Eight Peaks through careful
negotiation, Eun Hye then signed with her new management agency, Kraze Entertainment. As a result, Eun Hye was able to focus on her acting career, which will be Kraze Entertainment's focal point of attention.
Her successful performance in 'Coffee Prince', has put her in the
list of being one of the best actresses in Korean entertainment.
