Uhm Jung Hwa is an icon. She broke down barriers for female singers to be assertive, confident, and sexy. She was different from the passive, timid characters that were the norm when she first debuted in 1993. Lee Hyori, Baek Ji Young, 2NE1, and others all have her to thank for their ability to freely express themselves and not be afraid to show the world who they are.
She is a fighter. In October of 2010, a tumor was found during a routine exam and she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Thankfully, she was able to receive surgery and recover successfully from the scare.
Uhm Jung Hwa is a true entertainer. Receiving twenty eight awards in music, film, and fashion over a sixteen year span, she is recognized by her peers, the industry, and fans alike as one of the finest performers of her generation. They also call her the Chameleon; able to change her style while taking chances, reinventing herself to stay one step ahead of the curve and always going down new paths. It makes you wonder what she’ll do next.
I'm glad she's such a strong fighter. Cancer is so serious
But to her for being so strong
She was going to do a comeback last year but she delayed it because of the cancer
And she's one of the reasons I got into 2NE1, Dara is one of her biggest stans.

“I don’t know. I’m totally lost~! How about my fashion for encore? When receiving an encore, I stand on stage in a free-style look using my unique concert goods. Today I think to utilize the YG Family towel for a new style. How about putting the towel around my neck? On my pants, or around my head? I decided to wear the towel in the popular sheep head shape. I look like Uhm Jung Hwa, don’t I?”
to her for being so strong
