Park Jung-ah (; also spelled as Park Jeong-ah, Park JungA; February 24, 1981) is a South Korean singer, actress, entertainer, and radio DJ.[1] [2]
Career
2000—2014: Career beginnings, breakthrough success and Jewelry
Park graduated from Dongduk Women's University with a bachelor's degree in Applied Musicology[3] and is also able to play the piano.
First debuting as a member of the girl group Jewelry in 2001, she became the group leader. In 2003, she debuted as an actress and has since appeared in a handful of movies and dramas.
Since Jewelry went on hiatus, Park took the opportunity to debut as a solo singer. Her first solo album Yeah was released in the fall of 2006, showing an edgier side that Jewelry single "Superstar" hinted at. The title song Produced and Co-Written by Hit American Producers Ian (iRok) Scott and Mark (MJ) Jackson A.K.A. MJ&iRoK was her first single, and it allowed Park to become more of a rock singer. The album also featured production from #1 Billboard Producer, Eddie Galan of Mach 1 Music. To move away from the manufactured pop image she developed in Jewelry,[4] she has performed this single live at every performance, and it has subsequently made the song a strong chart hit.
From November 2006 to 2009, she had been hosting her own radio show, On a Starry Night.
In 2013, Jung-ah left Star Empire and entered a new contract with WM Company. Their new partnership was announced on May 10, 2013.[5] [6]
2014–present: Solo activities and acting
In June 2014, Park released Because of You which is part of South Korean drama Doctor Stranger's OST.[7]
On December 15, 2015 Jellyfish Entertainment released their Jelly Christmas 2015 – 4랑 single album featuring the song, "Love In The Air" . The announced participating the Jellyfish artists were Park Jung-ah, Seo In-guk, VIXX, and former K-pop Star 4 contestant Park Yoon-ha.[8] [9] The single placed at 14 on the digital Gaon Chart.[10]
Park participated in Jellyfish Entertainment's winter project, Jelly Christmas 2016, with her label mates Seo In-guk, VIXX, Gugudan, Park Yoon-ha, Kim Gyu-sun, Kim Ye-won and Jiyul. The title track, "Falling" was released digitally on December 13, 2016.[11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
Personal life
Park was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and received surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in May 2013.[16]
On May 15, 2016, Park married pro-golfer Jeon Sang-woo and gave birth to a daughter in March, 2019.
