Sharp (South Korean band)
Sharp was a South Korean co-ed pop vocal group that was active from 1998 to 2002.
The group initially consisted of Lee Ji-hye, Seo Ji-young, Jang Seok-hyun, John Kim and Oh Hee-jong. Chris was introduced as a guest member during this time. John and Hee-jong left the group after the release of the group's first album, The S#arp, in 1998. New member Sori and Chris officially joined the group in 1999 for the second album, The S#arp+2. Sori later left the group, and Sharp went on to release the albums, The Four Letter World Love, 4ever Feel So Good, Flat Album, and Style. The group disbanded in 2002, reportedly as a result of ongoing conflict between Ji-hye and Ji-young, including verbal and physical assault.
