Korea is lighting up Chinese screens after popular singer and actress Jang Nara(張娜拉)arrived in the country last week．
Having been awarded(授予)the title of South Korea’s(韓國的)most beautiful smile in October, she is here to tell fans about her new album, “Friend”, and comedy(喜劇)film, “ Oh!Happy Day ”．
“I was really impressed by the naughty teenage girls she has played in TV series and films,” said Wang Wei, a senior high school student in Tianjin．
“Her natural smile is better than those of other Korean stars who got their beautiful faces through surgery(手術)．”
The 22-year-old, who was named best artist in Asia at the CCTV Music Awards this year, has become very popular in China．While adults enjoy listening to her music, teenage girls like to copy her clothes, hairstyle and even the childish tricks she plays in her films．
This got out of hand at an event in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province earlier this year, as excited fans ran onto the stage to meet her．
“I didn’t realize there were so many people in China who loved my songs and films,” she said．“Maybe I shouldn’t play so many naughty tricks in my films in the future．” but behind this fun-loving face is a young woman who takes her career very seriously．Jang turned down a trip to the Grammy awards in America this February to be at a fans meeting in South Korea．
“Entertainers should always bring hopes and dreams to the audience,” she said．She also gave US ＄150,000 of her own money to help starving children in Democratic People’s Republic of Korea(朝鮮)．
If she has time, Jang enjoys life as a normal art student at Chungang University(中央大學)．“I like to go to class and eat with my friends,” she said．“But nowadays, I’m happy just to get some sleep．”
