Im a foreigner . Forexample i know someone like iu is sooo famous there but with hwang jungeum i have a feeling like she is probably so hated and unapporeciated..i fell for her in secret. And since she doesnt recieve works from famous writers and directors i really wnna know how she is known in korea because in my country she is so loved and her dramas .


Just cerious... no hate ..she deserves better

She was once an idol before, she has a solid fanbase in Korea. Now she’s a stable actress that made a name in the industry already. She have a lot of endorsements and her works are always the talk of the town once airing. 

She was an idol?  Which group?  I always enjoy seeing her in dramas...she's just about perfect in each and every scene!  (Although she did scream a bit much in early eps of Kill Me, Heal Me...but I think that may be partly because of the direction.)

This is what I found on google about her being an idol:

Sugar's Hwang Jung Eum, Park Soo Jin, and Han Ye Won
Sugar debuted in 2002 and was under SM Entertainment. They promoted in both Korea and Japan until they disbanded in 2006

The source is soompi, which is pretty reliable as far as I know.

I couldn't find the group on Spotify, but Hwang Jung Eum does have one song called good person on Spotify.

I don't know how deep you want to go into this but, I hope this was at least useful or interesting

I was wondering the same. She seems popular in the industry, but she does not seems one of the most popular in term of following, especially on social Media, She seems very private and very quiet unless she has a drama coing out and she has to do PR for it. But she does not seems someone who is much in the gossig etc. She is private while it does not look like her personality is that private lol.  She speak most of the time candidly and she is frankless, She is know for that. I was even surprise by some of her interview when she was younger, She seems to be a person people like in the industry.
