A singer combining sexiness and charm - Um Jeong-hwa, the Korean Madonna
Um Jeong-hwa first started out in the entertainment business by joining the MBC Choir in November of 1989. However, it was not until she participated in a television program entitled “Sharing love with Choi Jin-shil” in 1991 that Um engaged the entertainment world in earnest. In 1992, Um made her first appearance in the movies “Marriage Tales” (1992) and “She should be in Apgujeongdong whenever it’s windy” (1993). Um Jeong-hwa released her first album in April 1st, 1993, featuring the song “The Apple of My Eye”. But the response from the public was disappointing, causing Um to suspend her singing career for a while. Instead, she concentrated on acting, appearing in television dramas like “Good-bye Yeongdong”and “Police”. It was in 1996, 3 years after her music debut, that Um Jeong-hwa made a come-back with her 2nd album. Songs from that album like “Sad Expectation” and “Love approved only by the heavens” gained a good response from the public and gave her renewed confidence as a singer. Um subsequently embarked on a successful singing career. With her 3rd album released in 1997, Um found herself at the height of her singing career. She also became a cutting-edge fashion leader with the new styles she presented in her 4th and 5th albums. For “Poison”, the title song of her 4th album, she presented herself in short bobbed hair along with sexy outfits. For “I don’t know” the title song of her 5th album, she transformed into a futuristic beauty wearing outfits and unique accessories in a ‘cyber style’. With “Escape” the title song for her 6th album, Um also gained popularity with the so-called ‘nobility look’. Sometimes in provocatively sexy and sometimes pure and innocent, Um Jeong-hwa remakes herself with each new album release. With this chameleon-like ability to transform, Um Jeong-hwa has become one of the representative top female singers in Korea.
