Jang Han-byeol turns 36, nears 20K fan cafe members amid nationwide tour

Jang Han-byeol turned 36 on July 4. Her message to fans was simple: "Thank you, Milky Way! It became a happy birthday!" Her official fan cafe is closing in on 20,000 members.

She was born in Australia on July 4, 1990. She enrolled in dentistry at the University of Queensland but withdrew. Red Apple, her debut group, launched in 2011. She left in 2014 and has been solo since. She acquired Korean nationality in 2013 to continue her work in Korea.

The real turning point came when she placed 3rd on MBN's Mumyeong Jeonseol. Now she's running the 2026 Mumyeong Jeonseol National Tour Concert. Anyang, Changwon, Seoul, and Ulsan are already done. Ten more cities remain through September: Chuncheon, Daegu, Suwon, Daejeon, Goyang, Gwangju, Busan, Bucheon, Jeonju, and Cheongju. Tickets are available via NOL Ticket.

At recent shows, she's been reviving Barami Bulleora (바람아 불어라), a track from her Red Apple days in 2011.

A Mumyeong Jeonseol spin-off called Jeonseolui Sanae (전설의 사내) begins airing July 15.

In a separate birthday note, she added: "Thank you for giving birth to me, I love you! Dad too."
