Jang Na Ra's Past 'Controversial' Remark Resurfaces
Jang Na Ra had a huge fanbase in China during her early years in showbiz.
In particular, between 2004 and 2008, her career expanded in the country, earning her many working opportunities there.
According to a source, at the present year, she is being boycotted in the industry, but her fan-following seems to have regained their support for her. Her 2021 series "Sell Your Haunted House," received a high viewership rating on the Chinese social networking service Douban.
But still, after years of her controversial remark, a fresh wave of hate and criticism has hit Jang Na Ra after the Chinese media platform Sina accused her of "badmouthing" the Chinese entertainment industry.
On November 7, the said media claimed that back then, the Korean star not only made the statement above but also said that while working in China, she had to comply with lots of restrictions. The difficulties while filming left her with no time to use the restroom.
What's Next for Jang Na Ra
Furthermore, though Jang Na Ra's career in China was successful, the boycott from the Chinese netizens didn't stop her growth and popularity in her home country, South Korea. She continues to enjoy popularity among K-drama fans, both in Korea and abroad.
On the other hand, Jang Na Ra is returning to the small screen with "My Happy End," alongside "Go Back Couple" co-star Son Ho Jun. The mystery series is expected to hit the screen sometime in December.
