Image:Vox-cute1d.jpg The "cute" Baby Vox: YaYaYa (circa 1997) Baby V.O.X is a popular Korean pop group. Their name stands for "Baby Voices of Expression." The group was formed in 1997. After the flop of their first album, three of the original five members were replaced, and their second album, titled Baby VOX II, was a much bigger success, hitting #7 on the Korean pop charts as part of the renaissance of girl pop groups in Korea. For the 1979 song by M, see Pop Muzik. ...
Baby V.O.X has gone through several image makeovers through the years, focusing on a "cute" image in their early years (apparent in their video Ya Ya Ya) but transitioning into a starkly different, hipper, sexier, more mainstream, and more internationally appealing image in later years.
Their album Ride West, released in April 2004, featured songs in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, as well as appearances by well-known American hip hop artists, such as Tupac Shakur, and Jennifer Lopez. The music video for the album's feature song, Xcstacy, was done in English, featuring expensive luxury vehicles and well-dressed, highly preened divas, apparently in emulation of the "Bling bling" style of hip-hop videos popular in the United States during the late 1990's and early 2000's. However, this release was accompanied by controversy as to whether their managing group, DR Music, could legally use Tupac's material in the recording, with Tupac's repesentatives claiming that DR did not have authorization. Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996) was an American hip hop artist, poet and actor. ...

However, in 2006, Baby V.O.X slowly imploded. Shim Eunjin was the first to leave the group, followed by Yoon Eunhye. Baby V.O.X continued for a while as a threesome, with their record company promising that Baby V.O.X would continue. However, as the months passed on, so did the members. Kim EZ left sometime in early 2006, with Kan Miyoun also leaving (and signing a solo deal on another label). Lee Heejin is the only current Baby V.O.X member, and it is unclear whether or not she actually remains. However, DR Music insists that Baby V.O.X will go on with new members.
