Son Dam-bi (born September 25, 1983) is a South Korean singer and actress.
Son Dam-bi first came to fame when she appeared in a commercial for an MP3 player alongside Poppin' Hyun Joon.
Prior to her debut, MSN Japan made a video documentary capturing her pre-debut training and rehearsals, which attracted 480,000 visitors in 5 days. Son Dam-bi trained with a well-known American choreographer in preparation for this album, and people began calling her the female version of Rain.
Son Dam-bi’s debut single features five tracks that show off her vocal and dancing talents. Her debut single "Cry Eye" was produced and composed by Jang Joon Ho, who previously wrote MC Mong's "180 Degrees" and Jang Woo Hyuk's "Last Game". The lyrics were provided by Brian Kim, who also penned Shinhwa’s Once in A Lifetime.
Son Dam-bi joined MBC's reality show 우리 결혼했어요 ("We Got Married"), being paired with Marco, in late 2008 as part of the second group of couples. Their last episode was on February 2, 2009.
It was also announced that Son would be part of the cast for Hype Nation, a film that has been labelled a "world movie". However, as the movie was delayed, Son released a mini-album with the single "Toyoil Bamae" ("토요일 밤에", "On a Saturday Night").
The song became her first #1 hit, topping various on- and offline charts, including M! Countdown (within 20 days), two wins on KBS's Music Bank, and a 3-week chart-topping run on SBS's Inkigayo. The songs' routine features Son in various 80's fashions, transforming her into a "retro fashionista".
She then starred in SBS drama Dream with Joo Jin-mo and Kim Bum, marking her debut as an actress.
