Lee Soo-young (Korean: 이수영; born Lee Ji-yeon, 이지연 on April 12, 1979) is a South Korean ballad singer.
She debuted in 1999 with the hit album I Believe and quickly gained popularity due to her strong singing skills.
During the mid-2000s, she was one of South Korea's best-selling singers, selling more than 700,000 albums in 2004 alone despite a recession in the music industry at the time.
In 2001, she sang the official Korean version of the Final Fantasy X song "Suteki Da Ne", titled "얼마나 좋을까" ("Eolmana Joheulkka").
She released her seventh album, Grace, on January 21, 2006; it performed very well and shot straight to the top of the charts.
The album's popularity led to a limited edition repackage of Grace, of which only 30,000 copies were produced.

She married her boyfriend of one year in October 2010 and has one son, born in July 2011.
