Career

2000-present: 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]

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" (Korean: 사랑난로). 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" (Korean: 니가 내려와) 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.

gollark: It's actually slower than the stupid wireless-redstone communication thing I made in Minecraft (modded Minecraft) ages ago, which is quite an achievement.
gollark: Probably not good enough for transmitting big documents or whatever, but that's fast enough for some things.
