Park Jung-ah (Korean: 박정아; also spelled as Park Jeong-ah, Park JungA; February 24, 1981) is a South Korean singer, actress, entertainer, and radio DJ.
Career
2000—2014: Career beginnings, breakthrough success and Jewelry
Park graduated from Dongduk Women's University with a bachelor's degree in Applied Musicology and is also able to play the piano.
First debuting as a member of the girl groupJewelry 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, 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.
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.
