Career
After debuting as a commercial model at the age of 13, she released her first album in 1997, titled Haneulsaek Ggoom (하늘색 꿈, "Sky Blue Dream"). Her hit singles "Haneulsaek Ggoom" from her debut album, "Seonginshik" from her fourth, and "Nam Namjaya" from Man, receiving a lot of love from fans.
However, due to creative differences, Park left JYP Entertainment after her sixth album; she felt that instead of showing her true self as an artist, she was being controlled by producer Park Jin-young. Park then took an extended break from singing and entered the film and musical fields.
After 6 years, Park returned with her seventh album, Ggot, Dashi Cheotbunjjae (꽃, 다시 첫번째, "Flower, Again for the First Time"). Leaving behind her sexy image from "Seonginshik", Park attempted to put her experiences of being in her 20s into this album, writing three of the songs on it and having creative input in producing the album and designing its cover. She made her comeback with the song "Baraejin Kieukae" ("바래진 기억에", "In My Fading Memory") on MBC's Show! Eumak Jungshim on May 2, 2009 and on SBS's Inkigayo on May 3. The song was written and produced by Dear Cloud.
