Jung Ha-na

Jung Ha-na (; born 2 February 1990), better known by her former stage name Zinger and mononymously as Hana, is a South Korean singer, television personality, and YouTuber. She is best known for being a member of the South Korean girl group Secret.

Early life Jung Hana was born in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi, South Korea on 2 February 1990. Her mother worked as a singer in the 1980s and her father worked as a bodyguard. They released their debut single "I Want You Back" in October 2009.

In April 2010 Secret released their first mini-album titled Secret Time which spawned them the hit single "Magic" and served as their breakthrough song in South Korea. In August 2010, they released their second mini-album titled "Madonna" and the title track continued their success as it topped the Gaon Single Charts.

In January 2011 the group deviated from their "sexy" and "sassy" image and released "Shy Boy", a "cutesy" and retro-inspired song.

The same year Secret began a foray of Japanese activities with the release of "Madonna" and Shy Boy.

2015–2021: Internal discord allegations In 2015, during a variety-show discussion about the four Secret members' drinking habits, Jung described Han Sun-hwa as being "dissatisfied with the world and prone to grumbling." Han subsequently responded on Twitter, stating that what had been characterized as complaints were instead instances in which she had sought advice and support from Jung and other members, and that she felt burdened by maintaining an agency-imposed variety-show persona that did not reflect her actual personality. Han added that Jung’s remarks were made without full context and that she responded publicly on Twitter to address potential misunderstandings. TS Entertainment denied that there was internal discord, stating that the matter was not significant. Following that, Han left Secret and TS Entertainment in 2016.

The agency later became involved in multiple legal disputes with its artists, including Jun Hyo-seong and Song Ji-eun, who subsequently left the agency in 2018 following the disputes. Some media reports and commentary later revisited the incident, with commentators suggesting that it reflected broader concerns about TS Entertainment’s abusive management practices and that Han’s statements had not been fully taken into account by Jung and other members at the time. TS Entertainment later ceased operations in 2021, with Jung being the last member of Secret to leave the agency.

2022–present: Career hiatus and recent activities After Secret's activities became inactive, Jung took a hiatus from music activities. In August 2022, she signed an exclusive contract with entertainment agency Uzurocks to manage her activities. She did not release any official solo songs, albums, or other music projects, instead focusing on YouTube and variety show appearances.

Jung started her YouTube channel '정하나 ZINGER' and started posting beauty creator content. However, she later said that her YouTube activities were unsuccessful and difficult to sustain due to inconsistent income. In 2025, she appeared on Sixth Sense: City Tour, where she discussed her career uncertainty and revealed that she was considering opening a kimchi-jjigae restaurant as a means of livelihood.

In June 2026, it was announced that Secret would make a comeback under RBW, marking their first group promotion in approximately 12 years. The project featured Jun Hyo-seong as the group’s leader, alongside Jung and new member Yebin, who is significantly younger than the existing members, forming a reorganized three-member lineup. Song Ji-eun and Han Sun-hwa were not part of the 2026 group activities. The group released the special mini album Secret Flavor and resumed promotional activities, including reinterpreted versions of their earlier works. Leader Hyo-seong asked the public to look kindly upon their new activities.

Van accident involving Secret members On 11 December 2012 at 2am, Jung was involved in a traffic accident with the other Secret members, breaking her ribs and bruising one of her lungs. A van that had been carrying her and the other members slipped off the road and turned over on itself.
