Actress-turned-director Ku Hye-sun rolls out first full-length album

SEOUL, April 28 (Yonhap) -- Actress-turned-director Ku Hye-sun released her first full-length album, her talent management said Thursday.

The 31-year-old has released "And Spring" with 11 tracks, including the lead single "Stupid," according to YG Entertainment.

Among the 11 songs are rearranged pieces, including "Brown Hair" and "It's You," from her previous EPs.

The versatile actress wrote and composed 10 of the songs.

Ku has used many of her own songs in her films and appeared in many music videos of these songs. The new album's lead single, "Stupid," was on the soundtrack of the film "Magic," directed by Ku in 2010.

Ku debuted in 2002 in a television commercial and entered stardom through a number of hit shows, including MBC TV's sitcom "Nonstop" and KBS 2TV's romantic series "Boys Over Flowers."

In 2008, the actress made her directorial debut.

In 2015, Ku co-starred in a fantasy-medical series "Blood" with actor Ahn Jae-hyeon, three years her junior. Their romantic relationship began shortly after the show ended, and they made their wedding plans public on April 8.

The two will tie the knot on May 21.
