From the lead vocal of the female trio S.E.S., Bada (birth name Choi Seung-Hee) has successfully transformed into a solo singer. With a powerful voice rare to singers who perform in teams, Bada is actively and successfully performing in the pop music scene all by herself. Born on February 28, 1980, Bada showed her talent in singing from a very young age. Having entered a high school for arts, Bada majored in Korean traditional vocal music, which later became a foundation for her singing career. Bada first made her debut in the Korean entertainment world as a member of the female trio S.E.S. in 1998. As the eldest member and the leading vocalist, Bada’s singing talent was highly evaluated. She played an important role as the leader of the trio not only in domestic stages but also in Japan, opening an era for Korean pop musicians to enter overseas markets.

In 2002 when S.E.S. disbanded, Bada started to prepare for a solo debut. She maintained the musical style of S.E.S. while adding some elements to make her music sound more complete. For her solo debut album “A Day of Renew” released in 2003, Bada participated in the making of the album as a co-producer and also wrote the lyrics of some songs. Bada’s musical style is not limited to certain areas but it encompasses various beats like dance, funky and house. Bada is considered as a very successful case of transforming into a solo singer from a member of a team. Recently after releasing her 2nd single "Queen", Bada also started her second career as a musical actress, which has always been her dream.
