Singer Jeon Minjeong said, “My strength lies in a powerful vocal range with a solid mid-to-low tone,” adding, “I started singing in the drama club in high school, and after passing the preliminary round of the 2020 Yeongnam Song Festival, I gained confidence and began singing seriously.”

She continued, “My favorite music genres are diverse, including jazz, R&B ballads, rock ballads, and trot. My role model is singer Uhm Jung-hwa. My dream is to become a singer who can bring happiness to the public through my songs, and I want to try singing jazz-style dance songs in the future.”

Jang Untak, president of the Daegu branch of the fan club, said, “I think a newcomer showing the qualities of a major singer has appeared in Daegu after a long time. We will do our best to support Jeon Minjeong so that she can grow into a great singer loved nationwide beyond Daegu.”
