He moved to Busan in 1991 and lived there through high school, where he first began composing music.[2] After taking his college entrance exam, he moved back to Seoul where he joined FNC Music. In 2009, Jung left for Japan to study music with his bandmates.[4] While staying there, they did street performances and released indie albums.[4]

Jung Yong Hwa made his singer debut with the rock band CN Blue on 14 January 2010. On 25 May 2010, an FNC Music representative announced that Jung had been diagnosed with vocal cord nodules and acute laryngitis. Jung was hospitalized for treatment from 24 to 27 May 2010 and may require surgery in future. On 14 January 2011, Jung released his first solo digital single, "For First Time Lovers.The song topped the chart for 2 consecutive weeks."[5] On 19 October 2011, CN Blue made their Japan major debut with Jung self-composed title song "In My Head" under the major label Warner Music Japan.[1][6] The song "In My Head" was also chosen as the ending song for the Japanese animation Supernatural.[7]

Acting career

In 2009, Jung Yong Hwa landed his first acting role as Kang Shin-woo in the SBS drama You're Beautiful, which aired from October 7 to November 26, 2009. As the series revolves around the life of a musical group, he played the role of the lead guitarist in the faux idol band A.N.Jell along with fellow co-stars Jang Keun-suk the group leader, Park Shin-hye, and Lee Hongki of FT Island. He gained high popularity through his acting as a member of the fictional band, A.N.Jell.

Nearly two years after his acting debut, Jung was chosen as the male lead of the MBC drama Heartstrings, along with Park Shin-hye, a co-star from You're Beautiful. The drama is a South Korean youthful melodrama about the main characters' love and dreams, which was first aired on 29 June 2011.

After his successful acting debut, Jung Yong Hwa's next TV contract was for MBC's Sunday Sunday Night program Korea Ecosystem Rescue Centre: Hunters, which featured seven celebrity MCs, including Kim Hyun Joong, going out to capture wild boars. The show premiered on December 6, 2009 but was forced to prematurely cease its run in mid-January 2010 due to protests by animal-rights groups.[8] He subsequently continued as one of the MCs on the replacement program Eco House, which deals with global climate change. In February 2010, he was paired with Seohyun of Girls' Generation as part of a virtually wedded couple, YongSeo Couple (Hangul: 용서커플), for MBC's popular TV show We Got Married.
