Jang Nara says will never do movie with dad again

Singer and actress Jang Nara said Wednesday that she will never again appear in a movie her dad makes.

Jang made the remark during a press conference for her new film "Sky and Sea" co-produced by Christmas Entertainment and JNdivertisseme, a production company owned by her father.

"My dad was supposed to invest just a little but he ended up making a full-scale investment as the film started facing difficulties," Jang said. "He told me this when I was half-way into shooting the movie and I couldn't sleep that night."

She said her dad kept sending her to China from then on early this year to shoot several commercials and hold concerts but that he ended up investing all the money she made into the film.

"I thank and love him dearly but I might die if he makes another movie," Jang added jokingly of her dad who has also been managing her career since her debut.

Jang has had a successful singing and acting career in Korea and China since her debut in 2001.

"Sky", about the friendship between three stars of the movie also including singer and actress Juni and actor Yu A-in, is set for release on October 29. Jang shed about seven kilograms from her usual 45 kilograms to play the role of a girl with Savant Syndrome in the film.

lol I feel her in this situation. dads are tough to work with. my dad has wanted me to go to law school since my birth so we could have ~our own practice~, and I have maintained that law school would be the last thing I would ever, EVER consider doing... except a year ago I decided that I would go to law school. I still haven't told him - he'd never let me hear the end of it. SORRY, LOVE YOU DAD.

that reminds me of my friend. her parents put so much pressure on her to play the piano that she quit even though she's really good at it. she only plays when they aren't home now lol. it's kinda sad.

that is sad - I did this too. I studied piano from when I was 3ish to like... 15, but I quit because I felt pressured (by my musical child-prodigy uncle, god he's an obnoxious asshole). anyways that's a decision that I deeply regret. :/ but this law school thing is a total coincidence. I thought that law school was repulsive, but it turns out that that is what I actually want to do. the only reason I won't tell my dad is because he'll gloat and be all like ~I told you so~ and that sort of business. he is a silly man.

wow sorry, end of epic life story
