All hail to the King and Queen of kpop industry: Rain Bi and Lee Hyori !!!
After being on hiatus for quite some time, they both make their comeback last April with new albums both of which has gained much attention from the fans, Koreans and International alike.
Rain who real name is Jung Ji Hoon make his comeback with ‘Back to the Basic’. After being recognized as one of the promising Hollywood actor through ‘Ninja Assassin’ and following his mentor footsteps as a producer by forming MBLAQ, Rain is back again to where he started and loved most: singing. This mini-album consists of 5 new songs and the title-track ‘Love song’ is a heart-melting ballad song which shows Rain’s powerful vocal and also dance steps. ‘Love Song’ also proved Rain’s talent in composing as he himself wrote the lyrics.
Queen Hyori on the other hand makes her comeback with a full album consists of 14 new tracks. Despite the controversies and information leakage, Hyori is showing us a new side of her through ‘H-Logic’. The title-track ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ is a catchy song with strong lyrics that is sure to make anyone hearing to just tap their feet along. The MV itself is showing us a new side to Hyori that we never seen.

Since their comeback, they have been battling it out in the music shows;
Music Bank (KBS), Music Core (MBC) and Inkigayo (SBS)
The results are variable. The king might have conquered some trophies but the queen is also doing strong by winning quite a few for herself as well.
Rain is making fans especially girls out there scream their lungs out with his love song and powerful abs while Hyori is making everyone to watch her and be fascinated with her new charismatic and confident concept in ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’
Both of them have their own unique charisma that makes it hard to choose for me. But if I have to choose I personally think that Lee Hyori rules the stage with her powerful dance and concept.
However we must not forget King Rain also has his own charisma and not to mention his outstanding vocal skills.
Maybe it will be better if I let you guys choose which one of them is better.
