Do you know that the student Jeong Su-wan (02) whose major is music, plays in the Korean classic-music college?
The winner of KBS "Nation Amateur Singing Contest -The year-end" top prize (2002) and MBC "King of Singer" top Prize's hero, she is a girl who is full of talent.

Until now, How many did you appear in the showbiz?
2002 KBS 'Nation Amateur Singing Contest'  -The year-end top prize
    KBS 'Challenge 60 second Maximum Start' top prize
2004MBC 'King of Singers' top Prize
    KBS 'I am a TV Star' top Prize

How did you appear on TV the first time?
Because of my father. My father hoped that I would appear on stage rather than myself. That is when I began to learn Korean music too, and I got to interested in that. In fact I had a vague dream about becoming a singer.
Originally my character is free and easy and I was not ashamed to go on stage. To tell the truth, I learned Korean classical music too late. I started it in the third grade of middle school.
I didn't have the grades to enter an academic high school and commercial school was not to my parents' taste. So, I followed my father's advice, I entered a Korean classical-music high school, and I chose Korean classical-music as my major, too.
In my opinion, my father was well aware of my talent,

Who's the model of your life?
My mother. Do you feel the force from the word "mother"? People say that "a woman is weak but a mother is strong," I'll be a man that do it whatever seems like  a mother.
A mother can do everything and anything for her child. And, generally daughters think about I'll be a woman like my mother.

What is your plan for the future?
I'll make my debut in the musical world sooner or later. I want to sing trotsongs, but I'm not sure. Through my talent, I'll be a singer and hope to be an almighty entertainer. I want to a singer that sings well, not to well of speak humorous and does the natural acting. 
I should like to take the road of Korean classical- musicians. That is entertainer, feel uneasy job and, to tell the truth, hard to say professional job.
Anyway, entertainer is a flash and I do not need to do that  my all life. I think this is to store up something in my memory, and gain experience. Therefore, I got exposure on the TV Program without batting an eye, and am dreaming to be a singer Oh,! no~, entertainer. Now, I will do my best for my future.

How can you relax on the big stage?
Well, I am stronger in front of unspecific numbers than familiar faces. When I appear on stage, my talent flows out naturally. And I'm an expert to do Korean classical-music because, getting up on a stage is habituated. Probably, the big reason is that I had been good at going on stage through Korean classical-music performances.

Through the MBC singer king, you became  famous to people. What do you think about it?
One day, my father was watching TV, he looked at that program and he applied to my name. I passed the preliminary three steps and appeared in the main contest I never thought about the first prize. Really, first class is not thinkable.
At that time, I received many proposals f개m entertainment companies, but it did not suit  me. So, I am preparing it alone and it is hard for me in my own's way.

Do you have a plan to make a disk of Korean classic-music, or another plan?
When I appeared on TV, I sang the children's songs as the Korean classic-music version. People were very pleased to hear that. I would like to make a challenge in various fields using Korean classic-music, not only children's song but also Jazz, hiphop, or whatever.
This part is one of my merit. Lee Jea-eun is acting Bong-Sun in drama "To-Ji" using her merit as a Chung Ang university Korean classical-music college student.
I want to inform the Korean classical-music widely with my academic background

You have many fan-cafes and are so famous. What is your secret method?
I think that it is because of my free and easy character and husky voice and featureless face. Good and comfortable impressions seem to take a role that I can approach many students naturally

Do you have a plan to be active in the school, like during the festival?
I want! but, they do not call me. If I appear on the school's festival stage, it will be a good choice to come out for my image and my name.

Would you like to give come message to CAU Freshmen?
Of course I'm not a real entertainer, but I am working for being an entertainer. Being an entertainer seems like a very splendid and cool job, so you might think that you will be a entertainer, but that is your illusion. It is not easy,
whatever comes to depends on the person, it is hard to do everything and enjoy your freshmen life.  Don't be arrogant, but have a confidence in yourself.  I don't know other things.. because my freshmen's time was  a little regretful.
Anyway, congratulations and I hope you'll be happy freshmen! Take care.
