Rendezvous is the debut studio album by South Korean recording artist Shim Mina. It was released by J-Entercom Entertainment on November 7, 2002. The album spawned the single "Answer the Phone", which is a remake of the 2001 song of the same name by South Korean trio Kiss.

Background and release

[edit]

Shim Mina initially attracted attention as "Miss World Cup" following her Red Devils cheering attire during the 2002 FIFA World Cup. She gained attention as a singer with her rendition of "Answer the Phone", a remake of a 2001 song of the same name by the South Korean trio Kiss. The original plan was for Kiss to release "Answer the Phone" as a sequel to their debut single "Because I'm a Woman" from their first album, Kiss First Album. However, this plan was abandoned due to the group's disbandment five months after their debut.[1]

"Dreams Shall Come True" was released as the second single from the album.[2]

Reception

[edit]

Although Rendezvous was not commercially successful in South Korea, it saw success in China and the Philippines. The album reportedly sold about 200,000 copies in China,[3] while "Answer the Phone" was frequently played as background music in nightclubs in China and the Philippines.[3]

Covers

[edit]

Sandara Park, a member of girl group 2NE1, released a version of Mina's "Answer the Phone" while based in the Philippines.[4]
