Jang Na-ra (Hangul: 장나라; born March 18, 1981) is a South Korean musician, record producer and actress active in both the South Korean and Chinese entertainment industries since 2001. She rose to prominence with her hit studio album Sweet Dream in 2002, and since then has starred in well-received television series Successful Story of a Bright Girl (2002), My Love Patzzi (2002), Wedding (2005), My Bratty Princess (2005) and Confession Couple (2017).

Early life and education

Jang spent most of her childhood in her birthplace, Yeokchon-dong, Eunpyeong District in Seoul, South Korea. She appeared with her father, Ju Heo-seong, who is also an actor, in the play Les Misérables in her primary school days, thus sparking her interest to become an actress. Jang also went on to become a model for some television advertisements in her high school days before entering Chung-ang University's Department of Theater, Faculty of Fine Arts where she majored in Theater and Film on March 2000. Furthermore, she participated in band, performed instruments in musicals and acted in many plays. She graduated 10 years later, on February 19, 2010. The delay was due to her continuous work since her debut after she entered the university. She also received an alumni association award for her contributions to the university during the graduation rites.[1]

Career

Music

Jang made her debut in the entertainment world as a singer in May 2001. She started her singing career by becoming a trainee and signing a contract with SM Entertainment.[2] However, SM Entertainment dropped her due to assumptions that she would have lesser or no popularity than the other competing artists.

Jang released her debut album First Story with the title track Burying My Face In Tears. Initially, it was not well received and only reached number 12 in Korean music charts. After starring in the popular sitcom New Nonstop, she became more well known and released the other tracks in the album such as her pop ballad style song, Confession and the April Story, ranked at the top in various music charts.[3] The album sold 300,000 copies. Jang then became a host for MBC's music show, Music Camp[3] and KBS's talk show Love Story. By the end of 2001, she received several New Female Artist awards from year-end Music Awards ceremonies and New MC awards from Entertainment Awards ceremonies.[3]

In 2014

In October 2002, Jang released her second album Jjang Nara Vol.2 Sweet Dream. The song Sweet Dream became immensely popular and reached number 1 in Korean music charts, instantly making Jang a household name. The album also became one of the top selling albums of that year in South Korea. Jang's popularity after the release of Sweet Dream was massive, often dubbed as "Jang Na-ra Syndrome" and paralleled to that of the 2002 FIFA World Cup which occurred in South Korea that same year.[4] Due to the success of Sweet Dream, Jang won several awards including two Daesang awards or the Grand Prize (equivalent to Korean Top Artist of the Year) from MBC Music Festival and KBS Music Awards.[5][6] She also received the Korean Singer of the Year from China's CCTV-MTV Awards in 2003.[7]

In December 2003, Jang released her third album aptly titled 3rd Story which included top tracks I am a Woman Too and Is That True?. The music video for Is That True? was shot entirely in Switzerland while Jang was there to present an award at the Rose d'Or.

Jang released a Best Hits Album in 2004 consisting of songs from her 3 previous albums. She followed it up with her 4th album titled My Story released in December 2004, consisting of hit songs such as I Love School and Winter Diary.[8]

With her popularity in China, she also made a career in music overseas by releasing Chinese-language albums. Her first Chinese album was a huge success, making her the first foreign artist in China with over 1 million copies sold.[9][10] This was followed by the release of two more Chinese albums, Kungfu (2005) and Flying High (2006).[11]

She returned to the Korean music scene in 2007 with her fifth Korean album entitled She, which consists of medium tempo Masquerade and the dance piece You & I.[12] The following year, she released a multi-lingual album titled Dream of Asia, which includes 26 songs in 5 languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese and English. Jang held a mini concert in Beijing to promote the album.[13] During the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, Jang was the only singer from a non-Chinese-speaking country to appear in the 2008 Olympic song Beijing Welcomes You.[14]

In 2009, she released a duet with Jimmy Lin for the soundtrack of their film Flying With You. The track was produced by famed Singaporean musician JJ Lin.[15] In 2012, four years after releasing Dream of Asia, Jang returned to the Korean music scene with the digital single I Only Think Of You.[16] The same year, she released her fourth Chinese album Love Journey.[17]

In 2014

In 2009, she returned to the big screen with Sky and Ocean, playing a gifted violinist with a mental age of 6 years old, diagnosed with Savant syndrome.[29] The movie was a commercial failure, and was criticized for Jang's unfair nomination at the Grand Bell Awards even before the movie was released.[30] However, despite the controversy, Jang won the Best Actress for a Foreign Film Award at the 19th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.[31] The film also became the first Asian film to be invited to the 8th Tirana International Film Festival in Albania, where it won the Media Award.[32]

In May 2011, Jang starred in KBS romantic-comedy Baby Faced Beauty. This marks her return to Korean screens after six years.[33][34] The series averaged 10% ratings throughout its run and won favorable reviews.[35] She later won the Excellence Award for an Actress in a mini-series at the 2011 KBS Drama Awards.[36]
