Sharp (South Korean band)

Sharp (stylized as S♯arp) was a South Korean pop music vocal group in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The group consisted of Chris Kim, Jang Seok-hyun, Seo Ji-young and Lee Ji-hye. A male original member, John Kim (UPTOWN, Slow-Jam) quit the group after the first album. They released five albums before breaking up. Their last album was "S♯arp Vol. 5 - StYlE." S#arp was a very successful group that won many 1st places on k-pop charts with songs like "Sweety", "백일 기도", "내 입술… 따뜻한 커피처럼", and others.

The group's breakup was attributed to the inability of the female singers to work together. This was largely due to Seo Ji-young bullying Lee Ji-hye to the point that the company was forced to disband the group. Lee Ji-hye was badly bullied by Seo Ji-young who had the other members bully Lee Ji-Hye as well. After the breakup, a greatest hits album was released on January 24, 2003.

Since the breakup, Seo Ji-young has released two solo albums entitled Listen to My Heart and Different This Time. Lee Ji-hye released a solo album entitled Without You (Korean: 그대 없이 난) and a special single with the lead song "Love Me Love Me". Chris Kim also released a solo album entitled Christopher. Jang Seok-hyun is yet to release a solo album but the public was startled by his weight loss, which is said to be 30 kg. He later admitted that he lost weight in order to debut as an actor. Unfortunately, the victim, Lee Ji-hye has not been as successful of a career post disbandment.

Blake

Blake is a surname or a given name which originated from Old English. Its derivation is uncertain; it could come from "blac", a nickname for someone who had dark hair or skin, or from "blaac", a nickname for someone with pale hair or skin. Another theory is that it is a corruption of "Ap Lake", meaning "Son of Lake".

Blake was the name of one of the 14 Tribes of Galway in Ireland. These Blakes were descendants of Richard Caddell, alias Blake, who was involved in the Norman invasion of Ireland in 1169. As such a long present foreign name it became known as de Bláca in Irish.

The origins of the name Blake are also considered to be Old Norse, first appearing in Yorkshire, England, possibly derived from the word Blaker, referring to a village and a former municipality of Akershus county, Norway (east of Oslo).

Blake often refers to the British poet, painter and printmaker William Blake (1757–1827) or to the contemporary figurative artist Blake.
