KOREAN singer Jang Nara has been in China for years. She can speak and sing in Chinese. Last week, she also expressed her wish to learn cross-talk （相声）. She once met the master Guo Degang and told him a Korean tongue twister （绕口令）. She will act in a Chinese play with her father in Deyun She （德云社） soon.

　　I hope to get to know the local culture. But traditional art looks too difficult to me, she said, I still have to practice my Chinese to prepare for it.

　　Jang recently released her album Dream of Asia （《梦想》）. The theme song Our Dream was written for the Beijing Olympics. It delivers a message about sharing the planet.

　　Jang is known for her sunny personality. Recently there was news about the suicides （自杀） of Korean artists. Jang said Korean artists face too much pressure （压力）. But she says she will not break down. She has two ways of dealing with pressure: eating her heart out and working hard.
