Nam Gyu-ri (Hangul남규리; born on April 26, 1985 in Seoul, South Korea) is a South Korean singer and actress. She was a former member and leader of the Korean female trio, SeeYa. In 2009, Nam Gyu-ri had a contract dispute with the group's management company and left the group.[1] Nam has also acted, most notably in the film Death Bell and the drama 49 Days. In 2012, she was ranked at #58 on The 23rd Annual Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces.[2]

Career

In April 2009, Core Contents Media, SeeYa's management company, announced that Nam Gyu-ri had violated the terms of her contract by refusing to perform her engagements as a member of SeeYa; the company also stated that it would potentially take legal action against Nam.[3] Although the company later announced that she would return, it was eventually revealed that the issues could not be fully resolved, and Nam left again.[1] In leaving the group permanently, Nam released a statement through her lawyers in which she said that she "could not possibly" return to SeeYa.[4] In the statement, Nam announced that the reason for her departure was that she was more interested in pursuing an acting career than singing. Because it was impossible to pursue both paths, she had decided that she needed to give up working with the group.[5] For this reason, she declined offers from all record companies that were interested in recruiting SeeYa, and would henceforth make a new beginning as an actor and not a singer.[6] Shortly after finding new management, however, Nam resumed her singing career as a solo artist.[7][8] Her new management company, Eyagi Entertainment, has confirmed that Nam would pursue a solo career in both acting and singing.[9] Despite the fact that Nam stated she wouldn't pursue her singing career as a solo singer, she managed to contribute in Ivy's comeback album "I Be.." in 2009.[10]

In 2011, Nam Gyuri returned to SeeYa temporarily during the group's promotion of its final album. SeeYa officially disbanded in January 30, 2011. Nam Gyuri had a new management company, Eyagi Entertainment, and later announced that she will pursue both acting and singing.

In 2013, she became the newest member of management company, Namoo Actors, joining the likes of actress Moon Geun-young, Han Hye-jin and Yoo Jun-sang.[11]

In 2014, she left her former agency Namoo Actors and signed with new agency SidusHQ.[12]
