Jung’s victory coincides with the 15th anniversary of her former girl group, which they celebrated with their new comeback album “Forever 1” on Friday.
Jung will gain new group members in the other “Sisters Who Make Waves” finalists: Wang, Kelly Yu, Tan Weiwei, Gillian Chung, Charlene Choi, Fiona Sit, Amber Kuo, Tang Shiyi and Zhang Tianai.
In September 2020, Jung made headlines with the release of her young adult novel “Shine.” The fictional book centers around a teenager who dreams of becoming an idol and is based on Jung’s personal experiences. “Bright,” which is the sequel to “Shine,” was released in May.
