Uhm Jung-Hwa Age: Know Her Height, Net Worth, and Husband
The South Korean actress, dancer, and singer goes by the name Uhm Jung-hwa. She defied all difficulties to become a role model for women everywhere. Despite suffering from hardship, she managed to build a solid foundation in the entertainment industry after losing her father at an early age. After an eight-year fight with thyroid cancer, she returned to the spotlight, appearing in films and TV shows and releasing CDs of her music. For her groundbreaking album “Prestige,” she was honored with the Best Electronic Dance Music Award at the Korean Music Awards.
Her award-winning performance in the film “Marriage is a Crazy Thing” recognized her innate acting talent, despite her aspirations to be a singer. “Princess Aurora,” “Dancing Queen,” and “Wonderful Nightmare” are among her other successful films. ‘You Are Too Much,’ ‘He Who Can’t Marry,’ ‘Get Karl! Oh Soo-jung,’ and ‘Mystery Melodrama’ are just a few of her many appearances in television serials. Corner Suite and ZHUM, her New York City clothing and lingerie lines, have been very successful for her.
How Old is Uhm Jung-Hwa?
The daughter of Yoo Gyeong-sook and Uhm Jin-ok, Uhm Jung-Hwa came into this world in Jecheon, North Chungcheong Province, South Korea, on August 17, 1969. Her musician father was her inspiration and mentor. Her mother brought her up alongside her brother, Uhm Tae-Woong when he tragically passed away in a car accident when she was six years old.
Career
‘Sorrowful Secret,’ her debut studio album, was released in 1993. A string of successful singles followed, solidifying her position as a leading vocalist in South Korea. “Invitation,” her fourth studio album, was the best-selling album of all time and a huge cultural phenomenon. She had five critically acclaimed albums under her belt by the year 2000.
Beginning with 1990’s “Sarang,” 1995’s “Remember to Love,” and 1997’s “Beautiful Sin,” she made appearances in a slew of television serials during this time. “How to Top My Wife,” “Blue Seagull,” and “Marriage Story” are among her film credits.
She dedicated herself fully to acting beginning in the year 2000, and she quickly rose to the position of leading actor in South Korea. Both “Marriage is a Crazy Thing”(2002) and “Dancing Queen (2012)”—the former of which won her the Best Actress Oscar—were critically acclaimed films. Princess Aurora, Five Senses of Eros, and Wonderful Nightmare are just a few of her other critically acclaimed and commercially successful films.
Her prime-time performances in recent years have been limited to a handful of dramas, such as “Get Karl! Oh Soo-Jung”(2007), “He Who Can’t Marry”(2009), and “Witch’s Romance” (2014). The 2017 TV serial “You Are Too Much” was her most recent appearance.
She began experimenting with electronica music, which is based on synthesized pop and is meant to induce both relaxation and dancing, as her career in the entertainment industry took off. The two-disc set “Self Control” was a critical and commercial smash for the artist.
Prestige, her ninth studio album, was launched in 2006, about the same time when her singles “Come 2 Me” and “Song of the Wind” were top sellers. She won the 2007 Korean Music Award for Best Electronic Dance Record for her groundbreaking sound.
The album she released, “D.I.S.C.O.,” which was a smash hit and paved the door for a remix version, “D.I.S.C.O. Part 2,” which was just as successful, was co-opted by members of the boy band Big Bang.
