About Yangpa
Yangpa, which means ‘onion’ in Korean, debuted in the music world with this original nickname when she was just 17 years old. Although she was still a teenager, her voice was mature enough to sing romantic songs and leave everyone who listens to her more than melancholic. After releasing her second album, the singer suddenly announced that she would be leaving the stage to begin her studies at the University of Berkeley in the United States. But in 1999, while still pursuing her degree abroad, she decided to release her third album, which was one of the best-selling albums of that same year and among all her CDs. After finishing her studies, Yangpa returned to the entertainment world refreshed, with a better singing technique and more knowledge about music. Although the singer released only five albums in her thirteen-year professional career, she is undoubtedly one of the most beloved female solo artists in the world for.
