Lee Kyung-eun (popularly known as Harisu, in Korean hangul: 하리수, hanja: 河莉秀) (born February 17, 1975) is a singer, model and actress from South Korea. Her stage name is a Korean adaptation of the phrase "hot issue".
Harisu was born Lee Kyung-yup in Seongnam, near Seoul. In 1997-98, she moved to Japan. While there, she had male to female sex reassignment surgery and began studying to become a hairdresser. She also began singing in Japanese clubs. It was while singing in Japan that she got her first break, being recruited by an agent in 1999. In 2001 she adopted the stage name Harisu, just before featuring in an advertisement for Korean cosmetics company DoDo. It turned out to be a huge success and ended up launching her career.
Since then, Harisu has branched out into music and acting, among other fields. She has recorded five solo musical albums, switching between techno music and rhythm and blues. In 2001, she starred in the film Yellow Hair 2, for which she also recorded the soundtrack. Harisu has also had brief forays into other areas — having danced in a video clip for the group 'Turbo', as well as having written a book/photoessay about herself in 2001.
On December 12, 2002, the Inchon District Court recognized her as legally female, and she changed her name from Lee Kyung-yup to Lee Kyung-eun.
In mid-November of 2006, it was reported that Harisu will be marrying her current boyfriend; the wedding will apparently take place in early 2007.
