Singer /Singer-songwriter
Lena Park, also known as Park Jung-hyun, is a Korean-American singer-songwriter recognized for her soulful R&B and pop ballads. She made her debut in 1998 with the album “Piece,” quickly gaining popularity with hits like “My Day” and “PS I Love You.” Lena is praised for her versatile vocal abilities across genres including folk, jazz, and modern rock. She gained widespread acclaim through the show “I Am a Singer,” securing several first-place wins. She continues to be a respected figure in the music industry .
Sunwoojunga is an eclectic singer/songwriter, film composer, and producer whose solo material navigates earnest acoustic song, bright orchestral pop, soul music, jazz, and atmospheric alt-pop, often with a theatrical, retro slant. Making her solo debut in 2006 with Massige, she established a vibrant stylistic scheme that touched on trip-hop, ’70s piano pop, horns-injected pop-soul, and lush balladry. 2013’s It’s Okay, Dear was a more harmonically complex effort incorporating vintage soul, jazz, and arty songwriter pop, and in 2014, she had some minor commercial success with Riano Poom, a collaboration with singer/songwriter Yeom Shin-hye. She composed her first film score in 2017, taking an ambient approach to After My Death. Sunwoojunga returned to solo music with 2019’s Serenade, which resulted in her first appearance in Korea’s Top 50. Her fourth solo album, 2024’s Beyond, was followed by the 2025 EP chan rahn, with her music as capricious as ever.
