Han Seung-yeon

In 2011, a few reports suggested that Han Seung-yeon was dating her dance instructor, but she never confirmed the news.

Han was born in Seoul, South Korea, on July 24, 1988. She later moved to the USA to attend Tenafly High School in New Jersey.

She dropped out of the high school to pursue a career in singing. She then returned to South Korea and joined the girl group, ‘Kara.’

She went on to clear a qualification exam called ‘College Scholastic Ability Test’ and then enrolled herself at Kyung Hee University, from where she majored in Theatre and Film.

Before joining ‘Kara,’ Seungyeon had already appeared as a child artist in films and TV series, such as ‘Dead Ends’ (1993), ‘Summer Showers’ (1995), and ‘Star in My Heart’ (1997).

She began her singing career as the lead vocalist of ‘Kara’ in 2007. The girl group comprised of four members.

On March 29, 2007, ‘Kara’ was featured on ‘M Countdown’ with Seungyeon as its main vocalist. Seungyeon then hosted ‘MSL Break’ in 2007, which earned her the opportunity to become a VJ.

In June 2008, she was asked to co-host ‘Boys & Girls Music Countdown’ along with Kim Hye-sung, and later with Kim Soo-hyun. In the same year, she became a part of MBC reality show, ‘I Need a Family: Season 2,’ in which celebrities live together like a family.

On November 21, 2008, she debuted as a pop correspondent for an entertainment news show called ‘Section TV.’ The show was aired on MBC.

In 2015, she won the ‘Best Couple Award’ along with Hong Jong-hyun for ‘Her Lovely Heels’ at the 9th Cable TV Broadcasting Awards.

In 2016, she bagged the ‘Hallyu Star Award’ for ‘Age of Youth’ at the 9th Korea Drama Award.
