Han Hong is one of the most popular Chinese female musicians who specializes in a variety of Chinese folk music. Most of Han's work reflect the Tibetan culture, but Han also use elements of Jazz, R-n-B, Rock-n-Roll and Latin music in her music work.
By 2016, Han Hong has generated over 13 million fans on her Weibo account. In Oct 2015, she became the CEO of Hualu Entertainment company, which includes businesses of creating Television episodes, creating original shows, and managing performances.
At the age of six, Hong's father died."My father has left us, our life has been going worse and worse since his death. Because my mother was extremely busy working as an actor, I did not have a happy childhood at all."

She performed in a Chinese television gala broadcast after the Olympic closing ceremony on August 24, 2008. She also performed at the 2008 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony on September 5, 2008.
