Jung Ha-na (born February 2, 1990), better known by her former stage name Zinger and mononymously as Hana, is a South Korean singer-songwriter. She is best known for being a member of the South Korean girl group Secret.
Jung Hana was born in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi, South Korea on February 2, 1990. Her mother worked as a singer in the 1980s and her father worked as a bodyguard.
In September 2009, TS Entertainment announced that they will be debuting a four-member girl group in October 2009. Hana debuted with the stage name of Zinger, along with Han Sunhwa, Song Jieun and Jun Hyoseong, as the group, Secret. Prior to their debut, the group was on a documentary show called "Secret Story" which chronicled their debut process. 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. Although they were worried with the 180 degrees transformation, the single exceeded their expectations as the song was a huge success. Shy Boy charted strongly in digital charts and Secret won their first trophy on music shows with the song. They won a total of 5 trophies in various music shows with Shy Boy. Secret continued their success with the release of their second CD single titled "Starlight Moonlight". The title track became another hit for Secret as the song reached number one on the Gaon Monthly Singles Charts and won them another trophy in SBS's Inkigayo.
