Lee Hi Named One of Hottest 21 Under 21 By Billboard
Another k-pop star has been honored as one of the hottest 21 stars under the age of 21.

YG Entertainment's solo rookie Lee Hi just made the cut, ranking in at #20. Lee follows in the footsteps of 4minute member Hyuna who made the list last year.

The following is an excerpt taken from Billboard on why Lee was chosen.

"Why She's Hot: During the past 12 months, K-pop newcomer Lee Hi racked up chart successes rivaling established Korean idols. The soulful vocalist first appeared on the K-Pop Hot 100 in October via a collabo with hip-hop trio Epik High, "It's Cold," a No. 1 hit. Lee Hi followed up with her Duffy-esque debut solo single "1,2,3,4," ruling three weeks atop the K-Pop chart. Fast-forward to March, throwback-inspired LP "First Love" spawned two additional K-Pop
smashes: The catchy, No. 4-peaking "It's Over"; and melancholic dance track "Rose," her third No. 1. Plus, the songbird performed with PSY at his Happening Concert, where he unveiled his record-breaking "Gentleman" video."

The Korean talent was honored alongside the likes of One Direction (#1), Justin Bieber (#2), Miley Cyrus (#3), Lorde (#6), and Bridgit Mendler (#13).
