[x_clueless]

jangnara is cute.

[`s0ul*]

i like her song sweet dream. shes okay in dramas

[jahye]

Ah, what to do with dual stars?

Just to inform her fans, she also has a thread in the K-dramas & movies board: Jang Nara Official Thread

I hope you all will post there as well.
Even though she's very popular in Korea, it seems here at Soompi, her thread tends to get lost in the midst of all the girls posting in Korean male stars' threads.

Please post their as well!

On the topic of her music career:

I read in here that she started out with SM Entertainment (the huge factory that produces the popular teenybopper groups/singers).

Anyways, I read that they dropped her thinking she wasn't going to be very popular or sell.

Well, look at the HUGE mistake Lee Soo Man made!
I know her first album sold very well, in Korean standards of the music business.
And her latest album sold very well in China as well.

Go NARA!!!

[miyawoks]

is it okay to have two threads of one artist?

hmmm or it's okay, but should i only post stuff here about her music?

[J.lee]

But,There's a thread for Bi/M/hyori both here and k-drama,
I thought why not Nara?she is a singer too.^^*

IF not,maybe mods can close this one and so as the other singers who have
