Hyolyn appeared in the variety show "Immortal Song 2" from June until September of 2011, and was crowned the top winner in the pilot episode. Due to her great vocal ability and stage presence on the show and other variety programs, she has been labeled as the Korean Beyoncé by some singers within country.
In March 2011, Hyolyn was a guest on Strong Heart where she revealed that she was born prematurely and weighed in at 4.2 kg (about 9 lbs) at birth. During her mother's pregnancy, water had filled Hyolyn's stomach, which led her to become a premature birth. Bile was unable to be passed through her intestines, which eventually damaged her liver, causing a biliary atresia. Although the required surgery had low chances of sustaining life, Hyolyn was able to survive the 10-hour long surgery.
A year later, however, she was diagnosed with intussusception (a medical condition where parts of the intestine folds over into another section of the intestine) and received surgery for enterectomy.
Hyolyn debuted with SISTAR in 2010, with the single "Push Push (푸쉬푸쉬)".
On October 17, 2011, she released featured single "Ma Boy 2" with Electroboyz.
As an MBC 2012 Lunar Year special, the variety show We Got Married spin-off "Pit-a-Pat Shake" aired its pilot episode featuring virtual idol couples experiencing dating life. Hyolyn's partner was revealed to be Super Junior's Sungmin. In the pilot, Sungmin and Hyolyn performed traditional Korean opera.
Recently, Hyolyn has begun an acting career starring in the KBS drama “Dream High Season 2” as Nana, a famous idol from the fictional girl group HershE.
In 2015, Hyolyn officially debuted as a rapper in Unpretty Rapstar 2.

이 밤을 헤맸죠 밤새
검게 번진 눈물에 취해서
한참 또 울었죠 oh
달이 참 차네요 기댈 곳도 없는데
말라가는 어깨를 감싸 줄 사랑을 찾아요
그대는 내 맘 알까요
Lonely heart, lonely heart
곁에 아무도 없는 난
오늘도 la la la lonely
La la la lonely
비에 젖은 내 맘을 이렇게
La la la lonely, la la la lonely
그대가 안아줄래요
쇼윈도에 비쳐진 내 얼굴이
좀 안돼 보여요 so sick
행복에 울고 웃던 내 모습
다 어디 간 거죠 oh
비가 또 오네요 그만 젖고 싶은데
이 눈물이 잠들 때까지 더 있어줄래요
Lonely you, lonely you
그대는 내 맘 알까요
Lonely heart, lonely heart
곁에 아무도 없는 난
오늘도 la la la lonely
La la la lonely
비에 젖은 내 맘을 이렇게
La la la lonely la la la lonely
그대가 안아줄래요
상처뿐인 사랑에 다친 여린 나지만
Oh 이런 나라도 사랑해줄래요
Oh oh oh oh
마지막으로 사랑을 믿어요
그게 그대라면
Only you, only you
이제 내 맘 알겠죠
Lonely heart, lonely heart
꼭 그대밖에 없는 난
오늘 밤 la la la lonely
La la la lonely
얼어붙은 내 맘을 이렇게
La la la lonely la la la lonely
그대가 안아줄래요 ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
The song "Lonely" by Hyolyn talks about the feeling of being lonely or feeling alone. The lyrics talk about someone who is walking unsteadily, lost in the night, and crying uncontrollably with tears that have stained their face. They feel lost and isolated, with nowhere to turn for comfort. They long for love to enfold them and soothe their troubled soul. The singer is honest about their situation, admitting that they are lonely, and they have a lonely heart, as no one is beside them.
The second verse continues with the singer lamenting the absence of love in their life and how they feel like they are not good enough to be happy. The rain showers match their gloomy mood, as they long for shelter from the elements and shelter for their heart. They share how their face "in the mirror" doesn't seem quite right, and that their face looks "so sick." The pain and hurt of a love lost linger on, leaving them insecure and vulnerable.
In the chorus, the singer expresses their desire for someone to understand them and their emotional state. They long for someone to hold them close, to love them and alleviate their sense of isolation and solitariness. The final verse sees the singer taking a chance on love, asking the object of their desire if they would love them despite their weakness. They ask them to embrace them, pledging their devotion to them. The song speaks directly to anyone who has felt like they are alone in the world, which is a message that resonates with many.

삐끗대는 걸음에 휘청이며
Staggering with each crooked step
이 밤을 헤맸죠 밤새
I wandered through this night, all night long
검게 번진 눈물에 취해서
Intoxicated by the dark, spread tears
한참 또 울었죠 oh
I cried again for a long time, oh
달이 참 차네요 기댈 곳도 없는데
The moon is so cold, when there's nowhere to turn to
말라가는 어깨를 감싸 줄 사랑을 찾아요
Searching for a love to embrace my withering shoulders
Lonely you, lonely you
Lonely you, lonely you
그대는 내 맘 알까요
Do you know my heart?
Lonely heart, lonely heart
Lonely heart, lonely heart
곁에 아무도 없는 난
I'm alone, with no one by my side
오늘도 la la la lonely
Today, la la la lonely
La la la lonely
La la la lonely
비에 젖은 내 맘을 이렇게
My heart soaked in rain like this
La la la lonely, la la la lonely
La la la lonely, la la la lonely
그대가 안아줄래요
Will you hold me?
쇼윈도에 비쳐진 내 얼굴이
My face reflected in the shop window
좀 안돼 보여요 so sick
Looks bad, so sick
행복에 울고 웃던 내 모습
My happy tears and laughter
다 어디 간 거죠 oh
Where have they all gone, oh
비가 또 오네요 그만 젖고 싶은데
It's raining again, but I want to stop being wet
이 눈물이 잠들 때까지 더 있어줄래요
Will you stay with me until these tears fall asleep?
상처뿐인 사랑에 다친 여린 나지만
Even though I'm a tender me, hurt by a love full of wounds
Oh 이런 나라도 사랑해줄래요
Oh, will someone still love even this version of me?
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
마지막으로 사랑을 믿어요
Finally, I believe in love
그게 그대라면
If that's you
Only you, only you
Only you, only you
이제 내 맘 알겠죠
Do you finally understand my heart?
Lonely heart, lonely heart
Lonely heart, lonely heart
꼭 그대밖에 없는 난
I have no one, except for you
오늘 밤 la la la lonely
Tonight, la la la lonely
La la la lonely
La la la lonely
얼어붙은 내 맘을 이렇게
My frozen heart like this
La la la lonely la la la lonely
La la la lonely, la la la lonely
그대가 안아줄래요 ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Will you hold me? Ah ah ah, ah ah ah

내가 효린 음악중에 가장 사랑하는 곡. 돌이켜 다시금 듣고, 보니 참 잘한 작업이었다 싶네.. 가장 예뻤던 순간을 좋은 음악과 함께 남겨두었으니 말야.. 다시 오질 그 시절에 말야. 언제 들어도 계속 좋을 거야 효린..

This mv is so artistic! People who have been through loneliness understand its meaning.
