    Happy Halloween everyone! >:)

    @KyoRean awesome photoshop! And Congrats that your poster is getting a lot of love from DC fans..that is really awesome to see it at JNR DC :D

    When Nara started promoting 'I Only Think Of You' in Inkigayo and Music Core, I could sense that there is something wrong when her voice starts to crack up on higher notes. I felt too bad as a fan and when SBS and MBC posted the videos on YT, there are a lot of negative comments, some are even asking if she was even a singer (obviously, they're not a fan since they don't even know that she has been singing for more than 10 yrs already). At Inkigayo, I thought she was not in good condition because she had a minor car accident on her way from the Strong Heart set but her performance wasn't that good on the other music shows too. Well, that explains it...it's all because of her anxiety disorder. I hope she can go back to singing as well because for sure a lot of her fans do miss her singing. But I'm also very happy to see her being active in dramas again.

    @nakatsubebe: But RSY looked so happy when he saw NR getting the prize lol. His smile was so charming

    :)

    I wanted to pinch his cheeks lol

    :)

    ) But yeah, I get why. I thought they were okay though, from that interview they had after the series wrapped up (Ryu Shi-won hosted the show).

    Yeah, I saw that too :) RSY had a different smile like he's happy he saw a name of a friend in the envelope (like when Choi Daniel saw and read her name too when she won for School 2013). I was also expecting a hug (maybe) between them, but I think they just had a respectful bow. Could be that Nara was also surprised she won (by the look on her face) that's why she just wasn't able to really make an interaction with RSY. She hugged HEJ briefly though. It looks to me that she's more relaxed when she won for School 2013. I could feel there was more pressure on her when she did BFB. She may not have expected that it would be a success.

    @bjharm I think I also saw in an interview of her when she was younger that she had issues when people see her as someone younger than her age. That's why her favorite song, she mentioned, among all her songs was 'I am a Woman Too'. I felt like she can relate to that song and wants to be seen by the public as a woman in her 20s and not as a child or a teenager.

    @anopinion‌ I remember that 2011 kbs awards when RSY and HEJ were the presenters. If JNR is not close to JH whom she spent almost 90% of the time in Bright Girl, what more with the other co-stars. But I know how you feel because I'm such a fan of Bright Girl that I thought they were all close in real life as well, like on screen. I was surprised to know they weren't talking to each other with great chemistry of the whole cast. I was actually torn between Ki Tae and Seok-Gu oppa for Yang Soon LOL :))

    She said in an interview when she was promoting her digital single 'I Only Think of You' that it doesn't bother her when people always makes comments on her babyface features. In fact, as a woman, she said it makes her happy. But I think if it's just constantly been brought up wherever you go, it also makes you sick hearing it...I don't know...maybe Nara's just used to hearing it.

    @KyoRean I'm not sure if it's her cat in her autograph. She had that same autograph ever since she started in early 2000s. If I remember it right, she did not have a cat then, she had a small dog. But I'm not sure what kind of cartoon character she had in her autograph - maybe just a symbol of her cutesy image too or her playfulness.

Sorry if you were expecting it guys! I'll keep you updated with how it goes but otherwise I hope you all have an awesome weekend!  :)>-

    @nakatsubebe: 

    People at JNR DC are like... "Who's Jung Nara?", "정나라정나라..."

    Really, what a fail from MBC lol.

    Looking at screencaps, I don't know why I'm so bothered seeing that they misspelled her name in English. I know it doesn't matter in Korea because they don't really write names in English but they should just left it in Hangul if they're just gonna butcher her name..LOL :)) I know I maybe overreacting, forgive me, just a fan LOL :))

    Nice to see everyone's insights. I have the same observation too. I'm sneaking into FTLY thread once in a while but did not really bother to post comments anymore unless there's something about FTLY. I like JH but maybe it's better to post in his thread if they're just going to talk about him as I am also mindful not to post things only related to JNR at FTLY thread.

    @KyoRean it's ok chingu. When FTLY thread was just starting, there's also just a handful of us there. I never thought it's gonna be like this now (where there is 3M views with >1200 pages now)...so if Mr. Back is good, it's also gonna be popular eventually.

    Oh and dunno if this has been shared or not...

    Fans who went to support event found out, in 'Old Goodbye (or Hello whatever it is)', Jang Hyuk's character name will be Choi Soo Hyuk. Jang Na Ra's character name will be Han Chae Hee.
    And JNR will be calling JH oppa, JH will be calling JNR Chae Hee yah, in the drama. 

    Aww sweet! I think this is the first time JNR's character is calling JH's character 'oppa' LOL :) I remember at SSOBG, Yang Soon refuses to call Ki Tae oppa and insists on calling him 'ahjussi' then at FTLY, she just calls him Gunnie-sshi.

    Woah! With those BTS pics for Old Goodbye, I just faint :\"> the jjangs chemistry is just overflowing and it's just a picture! They're not even doing anything! I have to remind myself that the ship sank in 2008 LOL :))

    There are pictures of Nara in her blog/website during the script reading for Mr. Baek. I think she is sitting beside Lee Joon.

    bjharm said: nakatsubebe said: anopinion said: 4. PEAK OF HER POPULARITY 2002

    LKK: 12 years ago, you were at the peak of your popularity. It was in 2002 right?



    JNR: Yes.

    LKK: You won the Daesang for the KBS and MBC music awards. SBS drama, Successful Story of a Bright Boy.

    JNR: Boy?

    LKK: Girl.

    ~ I'm a woman too ~

    SYR: You made her a boy.

    LKK: (embarrassed) This kind of fatal mistake...

    KJD: He's always especially forgiving when it comes to his own mistakes.

    LKK: The ratings were at 40%. There was even the Jang Nara syndrome.

    JNR: I received more love than what I have. (She probably meant she received more love than she deserved.)

    LKK: What you have?

    JNR: Yes.

    LKK: I was at my prime in 2002 too, during the world cup. But I got a little less love than what I had.

    - Suddenly... reminiscing time! Confession + Sweet Dream -

    SYR: So cute! Ah, this song was really popular.

    JNR: Oh, that action.

    - Dramas... Nonstop + SSOABG -

    SYR: Jo In-sung ssi was in it?

    JNR: Yes. Omo, why did I do that?

    JNR: In-sung ya.

    JIS: Isn't it cold like this?

    JNR: How is it cold? It's just cooling.

    JIS: I'll go first then.

    SYR: I still remember that scene.

    CYS: What is this?

    HKT: My parachute was spoilt.

    CYS: This place is so big, why did you have to fall into my bathtub? You scared the hell out of me.

    NAR: Transformation start.

    (Note that CYS = Cha Yang-soon, HKT = Han Ki-tae, NAR = narrator)

    JNR: Hahaha. What to do? Aigoo... How? It's so embarrassing.

    SYR: He's mesmerized.

    JNR: How is he mesmerized? It's too...

    HKT: Go!

    CYS: Don't! That's enough! I love you!

    KJD: How are you feeling? How is it, seeing yourself of the past?

    JNR: At that time, JIS ssi and JH sunbaenim were all young. The two of them and I had one huge common point in that we take a long time to warm up to strangers. In the 10 months I spent filming Nonstop together with JIS ssi, other than "Hello, In-sung ssi" and "You've done well" we didn't say anything else.

    LKK: Why?

    SYR: Aren't you two of the same age?

    JNR: Yes, but we were awkward with each other. At that time, JH sunbaenim was really shy too. I couldn't really take the initiative to talk to others as well. Before I debuted I didn't even dare to sing in front of others. I always sang in front of the sound system. I couldn't even order Jjajangmyun. I felt that speaking to others was so embarrassing.

    LKK: Because you were shy?

    JNR: I didn't have the courage to speak. And I debuted when I was in that sort of state and met people who were shy just like me. We didn't converse at all. This time when we were filming we talked a lot.

    LKK: Really?

    SYR: JH ssi doesn't talk much right?

    LKK: When he came to our program he jumped on a spade! And dug up the ground! Jumping on the spade.

    SYR: But at that time weren't you really busy? You had to act, sing and film CFs. You went to the ER a lot right? And you were put on the drip quite often?

    JNR: It's not really like that. You know right?

    SYR: It's a good timing. (I have totally no idea what the two girls were talking about, I guess I'm not in their loop... :(( )

    JNR: At that time the amount of work was a lot more than normal. When I was filming SSOABG... after the shooting, I had to go film Nonstop. We just squeezed each of them into 3 or 4 days. Also, I had to participate in the music programs, activities, and host programs as well. I did all of this and it took a toll on my health. When I was filming the drama in Namsan, I just collapsed just like that.

    SYR: You fainted?

    JNR: Yes. At that time I didn't even think of washing my hair. When I saw Hyukie sunbaenim I'll ask "have you washed your hair?" We had this type of conversations. We were stinking. Really. We couldn't bathe, smelled bad and couldn't get to sleep either. And just like that, the body suffered.

    LKK: Very impressive, our Jjang Nara ssi. It's just like this that you filmed a lot of CFs right? So many sold out. Didn't you earn a lot at that time?

    JNR: Yes, I earned a lot of money. I don't know the exact amount.

    KJD: Is it?

    JNR: I'm not too concerned about the amount. Because I have desire in making more money.

    SYR: Really? I thought you'd say you had none.

    KJD: Shouldn't you say you're not concerned about money?

    JNR: No, no.

    KJD: Do you?

    JNR: Yes. I'm the type who likes money.

    SYR: This is the first time a guest said something like this.

    LKK: It's a reversal, a reversal.

    JNR: That's why, I'm afraid that if I took too much notice of it, there would be no end to my desire. So I might as well forget about it.

    SYR: What sort of CFs did you film?

    JNR: Food like biscuits, ice-cream. Vehicles, telcos, ready meals, makeup...

    KJD: The wearables, the edibles, the things you drive, you use... You really did everything.

    JNR: Yes.

    KJD: You filmed all of them.

    JNR: Yes.


    I'm afraid if her love for $$ gets out she'll get hate :( . LOL. Then again, who the hell doesn't like money? It's only natural.

    Thank you @anopinion for the translation of k-netizens comments. I knew about her panic disorder and fear of flying in an airplane but I never knew she had bulimia...so that was a revelation.
    I was looking at Naver and she is still at top 10 ranking for most searched...About 4 hours ago, she was at top 10 for both Nate and Naver. That was early morning in Korea and Healing Camp was shown the night before. Daebak! more people are getting interested on her again. Hope this continues because I'm just so happy to see her more visible in Korean entertainment world. She's one of the few who have a very successful singing career (impressive that she won Daesang awards just a year after debuting) and also regarded to have very good acting skills (and also won awards).
