The daughter of a pastor at a Korean congregation in Los Angeles, Park Jung-hyun,
also known as Lena Park, started showing talent in performance, especially
gospel singing and ballet, when she was very young. At age 16, the
Korean-American singer released an amateur gospel album and seven years
later in 1998 she came to Korea to begin her career as a professional singer
while also mastering the Korean language, a goal she hoped to achieve before
turning 25.
Her first album "Piece," mostly composed of R&B ballads, sold over 300,000
copies in 1998, when the Korean pop music industry was in its slump in the
wake of the Asian financial crisis. Park eventually ranked among the top
K-pop divas that are characterized by outstanding singing ability rather
than mere attractiveness, and her sweet yet powerful voice earned her the
nickname "Little fairy of R&B." However, her later albums, "A Second
Helping" and "Naturally," both of which sold over 400,000 copies, proved her
music was not confined to R&B. She has experimented with soul, gospel, jazz
to rock, funky and trip-hop. Park, musically and emotionally inspired by U2
and Bono, says her ultimate goal is to fuse the genres to one album color.
In 2002, Park participated in making the official album of the 2002 Korea
Japan FIFA World Cup with Korean duo Brown Eyes, Japanese duo band Chemistry
and Japanese singer Sowelu. The six artists sang "Let's Get Together" at the
opening ceremony of the 2002 World Cup Games in Seoul and also performed
together at an official World Cup concert at the Tokyo dome as well as at
the World Cup closing ceremony. With this rare opportunity, Park faced
potential to move into Northeast Asian markets such as Japan, Hong Kong and
Taiwan. Park consequently released her Op.4 album the same year and in 2003
her first live album entitled "Live Op.4 Concert Project Fourth Movement The
Album." Versatility best describes Park. Although she has written only a few
of the songs in her albums, her ultimate goal is to become a
singer-songwriter. She also wants to write literature, her "long-time
