Lady (Hangul: 레이디) was a pioneering Korean pop ensemble, acknowledged as South Korea's inaugural transgender pop group. The lineup consisted of Sinae, Sahara, Binu, and Yuna, all chosen from a large pool of applicants. Originally intended to be a trio, the group expanded to include a fourth member shortly before debut.
The group's creation was inspired by the prominence of transgender artist and actress Harisu. Prior to joining Lady, Sinae had featured in commercials and appeared in a music video by Cho PD, while Sahara had won a 2003 beauty pageant in Thailand and worked as a jeans model.
In 2005, Lady launched their first album, self-titled, containing eight tracks with remixed versions of the singles "Attention" and "Ladies Night." Although their distinctive identity attracted considerable media coverage within a traditionally conservative industry, their songs and music videos garnered modest critical reception. Their appearances on Korean music television programs were limited. To enhance visibility, the group published a photobook featuring nude photographs of its members; however, this strategy did not substantially improve their popularity.
Lady officially ceased activities in early 2007.
