Hi Everyone..
I think I need help from all soompi-ans here
Im a big fan of the Korean female RnB singer J or her full name as i got to know so far is Jung Jae Young.
I heard her couple of songs like Faith and its quite an old song from her but I still like the song even until today
Also, she has this nice and clear voice whenever she sings and I personally think she has the potential to make it big.
Anywayz, she had a new album early in January and she did a duet with howl for the Goong S soundtrack, I was really glad coz I got to know her latest song and all.. but that was it.. it's very hard to find informations about her online, ive typed it everywhere in search sites to know about her official website or something but i come to nothing

so i hope anyone here can help me.... THANK U!!!

[youngnottheold1]

does she not have an official thread here on soompi? I tried in the sticky but came up with nothing. Just wanted to comment on how awesome her new song "With Tears" is

[nalya]

I really like With Tears
all the perfs she does with Lee Jung are awesome
I like Father's Song, too.

Her winning streak didn’t stop there and went on to win a talent show held at her school and won the Korean-American song contest in the same year. ‘J’ then came over to Korea and made her debut with the 1st Album ‘Gold/Blue’ in 1998 and secured a distribution deal with BMG Japan in 1999.

Jung Jae Young (born May 2, 1978), better known by her stage name J, is a K-pop singer. A Korean-American, she was discovered in a beauty pageant for Koreans in Washington. That allowed her to travel to Korea to become a singer, with her first album Gold/Blue coming out in 1998. It wasn't until her second album In Love, though, that she achieved great success, with her single "어제처럼" (Like Yesterday) going to #1 on the various Korean TV network charts. Although she has released many albums since, her second album and third albums have been her biggest hits. J released a digital single in 2006 and sang the duet "Perhaps Love", the theme song for Princess Hours (Goong), with new singer HowL; due to the show's popularity, the theme song became popular as well. She has also contributed to other soundtracks.

She released her last album, In My Lifetime, in early January 2007

hmm i still can't believe there's isn't much information on her...
Anyways I LOVE her current song With Tears. The song is nice to listen to and its a great collab with Lee Jung.
It was awesome when I saw her perform this song with Fly to the Sky on the special stage.
