South Korean singer and actress Jang Na Ra has talked about the emotional challenges of being called a "baby-faced" star throughout her long career.

In a video released on July 23 on the YouTube channel DOMINAS, titled "She's 43?! A Sweet Day Out with Eternal Youth Icon Jang Na Ra," the 43-year-old entertainer discussed the pressures that come with her youthful appearance.

"To be honest, it's been very difficult for a long time," Jang said when asked if she felt burdened by comments about her looks.

She explained that the roles she received often lacked variety because of how the public views her image.

"The characters that came my way were always similar," she said. "Because I have a very approachable face, it's been hard to make big changes. So I've had to make small adjustments over a long time."

Jang also shared how societal expectations shaped her professional and personal identity. "People expect certain things, like, 'She must be really nice,' or 'She'll never get angry,'" she said.

"Even if I voice a legitimate concern, if it doesn't match the image people have of me, it becomes a problem."

Jang Na Ra debuted as a singer in 2001 with "Burying My Face in Tears." She later ventured into acting, becoming one of South Korea's most beloved entertainers.

Despite her success, she admitted she still struggles with uncertainty about how to change. "I've worried a lot about my image and what direction to take. Even now, I'm not sure what to do moving forward," she said.

The video also marked the launch of her new series, Na Ra's Sweet Dream, giving fans a rare look at her personal thoughts and the challenges of her public persona.
