Jeong Sun-ah

Jeong Sun-ah (정선아) is one of the defining Korean musical leads of her generation. She debuted as Mimi in Rent in 2002 and spent the next two decades turning power roles into calling cards, with major runs in Wicked, Aida, Dracula, Kinky Boots, and other top-market productions.

Her recent stretch sharpened that veteran status rather than coasting on it. After returning to the stage post-pregnancy for If/Then and later Memphis and Dracula, Jeong entered the 2026 Korean premiere of Disney's Frozen as one of its Elsas. The Seoul run links her again to Charlotte Theater and to presentation partners including Lotte Culture Works, Clip Service, and Disney Theatrical Group.
