Life and career

Early life

Jang was born in Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do, South Korea, on June 6, 1991.[1] She began writing songs at 15. She was an outstanding student but chose to drop out of high school to pursue a music career. Her original first name was So-min, but she changed her name to Jaein (which means "talented person" in Korean). At 16, she moved to Seoul and spent time busking on the streets of Hongdae. After entering Howon University (music major), Jaein performed regularly in several live clubs in Hongdae.

Career Beginnings: Superstar K2

In 2010, Jang appeared on Superstar K2,[2] placing third. She led the online poll for four consecutive weeks before entering the Top 3 Week (in which she was eliminated) with second most online votes behind John Park.[3]
