Oak Joo-hyun releases first single in more than five years

Oak Joo-hyun, who is better known recently as a musical actress, has released her first single in more than five years.
The song, titled “Hemostasis,” was released online Jan. 17 through various music Web sites and is a fusion piece containing elements of pop, ballad, musical and classical music.

The song was given its unusual name as it draws parallels to a heartbroken lover who tries to stop the pain of a break up.

The single will be contained on Oak’s album, with a release date yet to be announced.
Oak made her debut as a member of the girl group Fin.K.L back in 1998 and after the group broke up in 2002, she pursued a career in musicals.

She was named one of the two best-selling performers for 2012 by the ticketing Web site Interpark recently. The other winner was JYJ’s Park Jun-su.
