Biography
Nicole was born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Glendale. In February 2006, Nicole left the United States to South Korea to become a singer. She signed with DSP Entertainment and debuted in 2007 with KARA as a vocalist, rapper, and the maknae. When member Sung Hee withdrew from the group, Nicole's role in the group changed. She was no longer the maknae which went to Kang Ji Young, and she became a lead vocalist. She featured on Sunha's first album Fahrenheit in the song "String." Korean name Jung Yong Joo (정용주), she wrote the rap lyrics for KARA's first album and also came up with the "Yo Jump" for Rock U in the choreography. Jung also joined Star Golden Bell, hosting a segment "Let's Think Alike (Season 2)" in which the guests have to guess a term or title from her clues; the challenge comes due to her comparative lack of skill and experience with the Korean language. She debuted on December 20, 2008 and continues to host the segment as of April 2009. Jung also sang a duet called "해피앤드 (Happy And)" with Noel member Kang Kyoon Seong.
