Lee Hyo Ri is a South Korean singer, dancer, and member of FIN.K.L (핑클). She graduated from Seomun Girls' High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Theater and Film from Kookmin University and a master's degree in Cultural Contents from Kyunghee University.

She made her debut in 1998 as FIN.K.L's leader, lead vocalist and face of the group with their first album, "Blue Rain". She was not part of the original lineup, as singer Annie Lee had been chosen. However, Yoon Mi Rae convinced Annie Lee to form a duo called TASHANNIE and a spot opened up once again. She was selected as a replacement after being scouted in a shopping mall, taking pictures with her friends.

The group was managed by DSP Media (DSP 미디어) and quickly formed a rivalry with S.E.S. At the time, the trend of the late 1990s was to have K-pop groups sing cute and catchy music. They were noticed for doing the opposite, as their debut album featured an R&B influence and powerful vocals that stood out above all the rest.

FIN.K.L has never officially disbanded, but their last studio album was released in 2002, and all member left DSP in 2006 to focus on their individual activities. They have reunited several times for variety shows or special occasions in 2003, 2005, 2009, and 2019.

In 2003, she made her debut as a solo artist with the album "Stylish", which won many awards. She made her acting debut in January 2005 with a role in the SBS series "Three Leaf Clover", but her role was severely criticized for her poor acting. But she continues to appear in variety shows, as a host and as an actress.

In early 2020, she appeared in the show "Hangout with Yoo" (also known as "How Do You Play?") where she decided to participate in two project groups. First, using the stage name Linda G, she joined the project group SSAK3 (싹쓰리) alongside Yoo Jae Suk and Rain, debuting in July of that year with the single "Beach Again".

Months later, she wanted to join a super girl group, and Yoo's show once again helped by creating REFUND SISTERS (환불원정대), using the stage name Cheon Ok. She joined Uhm Jung Hwa, Jessi and Hwasa and debuted in October 2020 with the single "Don't Touch Me". Both groups promoted for around 3 months and then ended activities.

She is married to musician Lee Sang Soon, and she is currently represented by Antenna (안테나).
