'''''Stylish...E''''' is the debut [[studio album]] by South Korean singer [[Lee Hyori]]. It marked her first solo musical project since becoming a member of girl group [[Fin.K.L]] in 1998
The songs "[[10 Minutes (Lee Hyori song)|10 Minutes]]", "Hey Girl", and "Remember Me" were promoted as singles for the album, with accompanying music videos produced for each single. The video for "10 Minutes" was described by ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' as a "choreography-packed music video that introduced the country to Western pop’s trends". To promote the record, Lee appeared and performed on several music programs in South Korea, with "10 Minutes" ranking atop the music program charts for multiple weeks.
==Background information==▼
The album was commercially successful upon its release and catapulted Lee to superstar status in the country; papers even dubbed her popularity the "Hyori Syndrome". "10 Minutes" won various prominent awards at domestic award shows, including the Grand Prize (daesang) at both the [[KBS Song Festival|KBS Music Awards]] and [[SBS Gayo Daejeon]], as well as the [[Mnet Asian Music Awards in the Music Video Awards Category|Most Popular Music Video]] at the [[2003 Mnet Music Video Festival|Mnet Music Video Festival]].

"Hey Girl" was the follow-up single. The video was banned on some networks due to its sexual imagery, although Lee said that it was the same as her first video and therefore she did not see why this had to be banned. The single was not performed as frequently as the first one, and promotions for the album were completed soon after. The third single was "Remember Me".▼
Lee became well known in South Korea as a member of girl group [[Fin.K.L]], who made their debut under DSP Media in May 1998 with the album ''[[Blue Rain (album)|Blue Rain]]''. However, the group's activities began to slow down following the release of their fourth studio album ''[[Forever (Fin.K.L album)|Forever]]'' in March 2002. The members of Fin.K.L began exploring individual activities beginning in 2003, thus putting group activities in a temporary hiatus.<ref>{{cite web |date=March 28, 2003 |script-title=ko:[신작 DVD 포커스] 핑클 라이브 콘서트 |trans-title=[New DVD] Fin.K.L releases live concert |url=https://news.naver.com/main/read.naver?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=105&oid=029&aid=0000022214 |access-date=November 30, 2021 |website=Digital Times |language=ko |via=Naver}}</ref> Lee embarked solo career with the release of her debut studio album ''Stylish...E'' on August 13, 2003, spawning the lead single "10 Minutes".<ref>{{cite web |date=August 13, 2003 |title=Stylish... – Album by Lee Hyori |url=https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=32463 |access-date=November 29, 2021 |publisher=[[Melon (online music service)|Melon]] |language=ko}}</ref>
