Jang Nara

Cute, adorable, radiant, and lovable. These are the words that come to mind when thinking of her. She is as good hearted as she is pretty, star Jang Nara. Let's go on a date with her.

She's cute and she's got a great voice. She debuted in music with the 2001 album,First Story. Her name became well known with the songs Confession and the r and b title song I bury My face in Tears.

Three songs from the first album made the hit music charts and she became a star.

She says she always goes on stage as if it were her first time.

Perhaps that is why she remains fresh as a performer despite her four years of experience.

Then the next year, she brought us her second album, called It must be love. It was a cool r and b number. And this made her known for her singing as well as her cute appearance.

The song Sweet Dream made audiences feel as if we were getting a peek into her life, especially the music video.

This bright and energetic song was chosen as an official theme song for a drama, adding to its popularity.
She continues to be popular. What is the secret?


Along with her singing career, she's become popular as an actress as well. She said her original dream was to act. She is both a well loved singer and an actress for commercials..She was a regular face for many brands, appearing in numerous ads.

Her abilities to make ads come alive made her a valuable addition in acting. She earned a role as a goodhearted but bit kooky college student in a popular sitcom. With her comic and warm turn in the role inspired insiders to commend her as a talent. She also debuted on the silver screen with Oh Happy Day.

Jang is also a regional star. When she traveled to China to promote her album, the response was phenomenal. Music, movies, promotions took her to China and she was confirmed as one of the top stars of the day.

The Jang Nara craze has been taking China by storm since last year. She was chosen as the invited singer for the festival to promote Chinese culture.

She donates some proceeds from albums to the poverty and hunger stricken and sets aside her concert profits for the poor.

Her actions are as outstanding as her looks and her talents.

Her parents sometimes accompany her when she works. She says her family is the strength to keep her strong through her tight schedule. One of her strongest supports is her father, the stage actor Joo Ho Sung. The talent runs in the family, doesn't it?

She looks as if she lacks nothing. Is that why she seems so happy? Her tiny face, large eyes, cute image. Jang is a star that many fans adore and want to emulate. Does she have any issues?

Jang put out her third album last year, called I am A Woman too. Like the song says, as she desires, we celebrate her womanliness, her talent and passion and hope to see more of her in the future.
