Template:Hangugeo, known as BIN during her music career, is a South Korean actress, singer and model.[1] In 2002, she began her career as singer of the short-lived three-member girl group LUV, however the group disbanded the following year due to individual goals.
Following the disbandment of LUV, Jeon released her first solo album, Love Somebody on July 31. She ventured into acting and appeared in her first television drama, Sang Doo!
