Information

Dana was one of the numerous young female soloists who appeared in the K-Pop scene during 2001. Amongst her peers, Joanne, Hanul, and Yuri, Dana had the most experience. Most notably, before debuting as a soloist, she had caught people's attention in her leading role in H.O.T's Age of Peace movie. It's from this movie where she takes her stage name, Dana, from.

Dana released her first album at the age of 15 promoting the songs "Sesangkkeutkkaji", "Diamond", and "Pretty". Though she was under the label Shining Entertainment and not an official part of SMTown, she received promotional help from SM Entertainment. Sometime around 2003, she did become an official SMTown member. Also in that year, she released her second album Namgyeodun Iyagi. However, her second album did not fare as well as her first.

After her second album, Dana still appeared in the SM Town summer and winter albums. In April of 2005, she debuted with the group Chun Sang Ji Hee The Grace with the single "Too Good". The group released their first single, "Boomerang" in Japan on January 25, 2006.

It is unknown whether or not Dana will release any more albums as a soloist.
