Park Jung Hyun Releases Diva Project

On August 24th the production company Monster World Entertainment Park Jung Hyun released the album “Diva Project” which is a collaboration album with Big Mama’s Lee Young Hyun and So Hyang. This album is receiving a lot of attention because this is Park Jung Hyun’s first project after MBC’s “Survival: I Am a Singer,” and because she is collaborating with other top divas. The title song “Mermaid” portrays the feelings of the Little Mermaid who cannot fulfill her love. The song is set on the night before the Little Mermaid turns into a water bubble because she does not achieve love.
A production representative stated, “Because the best vocalists had gathered together it was very difficult to put all of their unique voices together.”
