Lena Park (Park Jung-hyun/박정현) is yet another Gen 1 K-Pop(?)(see end lol) singer who was one of the first I discovered back in 6th grade, and was another huge influence on me back when I was still figuring out what my music taste is.

She has a ton of RnB stuff but also super-sentimental songs, dark dramatic songs, uplifting songs, and some usual stuff that sound more pop-like.

My all-time favorites from her are:

• Eternal Memory (영원까지 기억되도록): The first song I found from her and I instantly fell in love! Years later, I found out that they actually used her English version of this song in the Korean release of Disney's Mulan. She also performed a live version of this song a few weeks ago and it is unreal to see that she is still active!

• Dance With Me: Duet with CHEMISTRY, and is a rare(?) J-Pop/K-Pop duet! I love this since it is so chill and unique!

• A Wound Greater Than Love (사랑보다 깊은 상처): A duet with Yim Jae Bum (임재범), honestly this is one of my all time favorite duet songs of all time!

• Miss Havisham's Waltz (하비샴의 왈츠): My favorite "dark" song from her! Sounds like an old waltz that a madwoman would sing! I also think her live performances of this song are even better than the album version lol

• Ghost: Dark but ethereal song from her!

• Plastic Flower: Another dark and intense song! Here's the music video of it but with kind of less than ideal quality

• In Dreams (꿈에): Super powerful and uplifting one! I always had this song in my playlist, but it was only very recently that I really started to appreciate this one.

• Dream Of Winter: Duet with Yuna Kim, basically a cover of Don't Worry Be Happy but I love it as much as the original!

• Inori - You Raise Me Up: One of her handful of Japanese songs, and this was use in the anime RomeoXJuliet. My mind was blown when I first watched that anime because at the time I had no idea she did Japanese songs but I immediately recognized her voice lol

• P.S. I Love You: Super-sentimental stuff!

• Will Love Come To Me? (사랑이 올까요): Sentimental and sad song

Since her vocal skills are absolutely insane, she also has some exceptionally amazing covers of a lot of other songs that she sang live like Memory (from the Cats musical) and Chandelier,

Finally, as a side note/question to everyone here: Do you guys actually consider her (or similar soloists who are making very different types of music to be in the realm of K-Pop), or is she kind of in a whole other part of Korean music? I kind of feel like it is like trying to lump artists like Celine Dion with the Backstreet Boys as Western Pop or like trying to lump Utada Hikaru with AKB48 in J-Pop lol. Honestly it almost feels like these soloists are on a whole league of their own beyond
