Park Hyo-jin (born December 28, 1981), better known by her stage name Narsha, is a South Korean singer and actress. She is best known as a member of the South Korean girl group Brown Eyed Girls. Her stage name, Narsha, is derived from the term na-reu-sha, which means 'to fly up' in Middle Korean.
She became a member of Brown Eyed Girls after a suggestion by JeA, who had been her friend since their high-school years. The four members held several small size concerts, and was actually known as "Crescendo" before officially debuting as "Brown Eyed Girls". After more than 3 years of training in singing and holding several small size concerts, the Brown Eyed Girls released their debut album Your Story in South Korea in February 2006, with the ballad track, "Come Closer" as their single.
After Brown Eyed Girls' Kill Bill activities in 2013, the first BEG unit was announced. Miryo and Narsha formed M&N. The original name was '언니둘' (Two Unnies) and it was suggested that if JeA were to join them, they would switch their name to '언니들' (The Unnies).
M&N is introduced as a hip hop group as both Miryo and Narsha are avid fans of the Hip Hop genre, however their first digital single falls under the easy listening genre. The group has released a digital single named "Tonight" in both Korean and English without any promotions done.
During 2009, her popularity began to increase after she started appearing on many entertainment programs, including Heroes and Invincible Youth, on which she gained the nickname "Adult-dol" . She became a DJ on Pump up the Volume on KBS Cool FM, from 8 PM until 10 PM but due to Brown Eyed Girls' overseas promotions Narsha decided to leave the show, with her last broadcast on Dec. 28, 2010. She made her debut as an MC through OnStyle‘s fashion program, Style Show Fiㄹ on June 16, 2011. Narsha made her acting debut through MBC's drama series Lights and Shadows playing the role of Hye Bin, a singer aspirant and followed by Ohlala Couple as Moosan the goddess of love. In 2012, she also provided the voice for the main antagonist 'The White Wolf' in the Korean version of Christmas movie "Niko: Santa Air Wing's Adventure". She has also made a name as a smartphone director as well as a musical actress.
