Singer Kang Su-ji debuted in 1990 with 'Purple Fragrance,' quickly becoming a symbol of innocent beauty and gaining immense popularity. Her signature look during her heyday included a natural, makeup-free face and long straight hair, with even minor hairstyle changes becoming a hot topic. She was considered one of the 'troika' of innocent female singers in the 90s, alongside Lee Ji-yeon and Ha Soo-bin, attracting a large male fanbase.
Kang Su-ji immigrated to New York, USA, in her second year of middle school. After winning a gold prize at the MBC College Song Festival preliminaries in the eastern US, she returned to Korea to release her album. As a singer-songwriter, she personally wrote almost all the songs from her first album, known for her clear, pure voice and gentle vocal style. Her lovely styling often incorporated large ribbon pins and hats rather than overly flashy fashion.
Kang Su-ji remarried entertainer Kim Gook-jin in 2018, and they are affectionately known as the 'Chihuahua Couple,' showcasing their happy life together. Both had experienced the pain of divorce, but their love blossomed after reuniting through the TV program 'Burning Youth.' Their story of becoming a couple after a long history together is often described as a 'real-life drama' by many.
