After winning a number of singing contests in the United States she recorded a Gospel album in 1993. Eventually she attended UCLA for a year and then began work on her first Korean album, "Piece", in 1998. Lena's first album sold more than 500,000 copies in spite of the limited promotion - mostly due to her lack of confidence in speaking Korean.
In 1999, "A Second Helping" was released and was well received by both fans and critics. The third album, "Naturally", released in 2001 was met with mixed reviews.
Afterwards, Park Jung Hyun took a year off to continue her studies and returned in 2002 with her fourth album "Op.4." Unlike previous releases, she made herself more available for promotional events and interviews as she had become more comfortable speaking in Korean.
In 2002, the South Korean government selected her, along with the hugely popular R&B group Brown Eyes, to represent Korea in the opening and closing ceremony of the World Cup. With Brown Eyes, CHEMISTRY and Sowelu, she became a part of a group aptly called "Voices of Korea/Japan" and performed the title song for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Official Album, "Songs of Korea/Japan". Following this, she later debuted in the Japanese music industry where she received moderate success.
As of October 2006, Lena Park has released 8 Korean albums, 2 Korean singles, 3 Japanese albums and 6 Japanese singles.

박정현 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
아무렇지 않았어
그저 좋은 사람으로만
생각했었는데
그대 내가 다가갈수록
내게 다가왔었고
지루했던 기다림끝엔
그토록바란 내 바람들도
다 이루어지고
그대와 나의 영원할 꺼라
믿어왔던 시간들을
기억하나요
그대의 그 한마디를
영원할꺼라고
그토록 믿어왔었던 나를
웃고 있나요 그렇게 날 떠난후에
힘들어하는 건 이제는 나뿐인가요
이젠 잊은듯 했어
바쁜 일상에묻혀
그땐 그렇게 너를
다 잊은줄만 알았는데
하지만 그 누군가
전한 너의소식에
다시 아파오는건 나의 마음뿐
언젠가 너의 차가웠던 마지막전화
이제는 나를 다 잊겠다는
한마디를 남겨둔채
기억하나요
그대의 그 한마디를
영원할꺼라고
그토록 믿어왔었던 나를
웃고 있나요
그렇게 날 떠난후에
힘들어하는건
이제는 나뿐인가요
기억하나요 그대의 그 한마디를
영원할꺼라고 그토록 믿었었던나를
웃고있나요 그렇게 날 떠난후에
힘들어하는건 이제는 나뿐인가요
(Oh) 기억하나요
그대의 그 한마디를
영원할꺼라고
그토록 믿었었던 나를
웃고있나요 그렇게 날 떠난후에
힘들어하는건 이제는 나뿐인가요
다 잊은건가요
그대의 그 한마디를
영원할꺼라고
그토록 믿었었던 나를
기억속에선 아직도 웃고있지만
나그대를 위해
이제는 다 잊어야겠죠
잊어야겠죠 잊어야겠죠
잊을수있겠죠 다 잊어줄게요
The lyrics of 박정현's song "Someone" tell a story of a person who initially met someone and thought of them as just a good person. However, as they grew closer, the other person started getting closer as well. After a period of waiting, their desired wishes finally came true. They believed that their time together would be eternal. The lyrics ask if the person remembers that promise of eternity and whether they are still happy after leaving the singer. The lyrics reveal the singer's struggle with the pain of being the only one suffering after the separation. But as time goes on, the singer tries to forget, burying their memories in everyday busyness. However, when they hear news about the other person, they find that their heart still hurts. The lyrics end with the singer wondering if they are the only one still struggling and if the other person remembers their promise of eternity.

그대 처음 만났을때엔
When I first met you
아무렇지 않았어
It didn't bother me
그저 좋은 사람으로만 생각했었는데
I just thought of you as a good person
그대 내가 다가갈수록 내게 다가왔었고
But as I approached you, you came closer to me
지루했던 기다림끝엔 짧은 만남이
After the tedious waiting, it became a brief encounter
그토록바란 내 바람들도 다 이루어지고
Even the long-desired wishes were fulfilled
그대와 나의 영원할 꺼라 믿어왔던 시간들을
The time I believed would be forever with you
기억하나요
Do you remember?
그대의 그 한마디를
Your one word
영원할꺼라고
Saying it will last forever
그토록 믿어왔었던 나를
The me who believed it so much
웃고 있나요 그렇게 날 떠난후에
Are you laughing after leaving me like that?
힘들어하는 건 이제는 나뿐인가요
Am I the only one suffering now?
이젠 잊은듯 했어
Now it seems like I have forgotten
바쁜 일상에묻혀
Buried in a busy daily life
그땐 그렇게 너를 다 잊은줄만 알았는데
At that time, I thought I had completely forgotten you
하지만 그 누군가 전한 너의 소식에
But when someone delivered news about you
다시 아파오는건 나의 마음뿐
The pain comes back only in my heart
언젠가 너의 차가웠던 마지막전화
Your cold last phone call someday
이제는 나를 다 잊겠다는 한마디를 남겨둔채
Leaving me with the words that you will now forget me
기억하나요 그대의 그 한마디를
Do you remember your one word?
영원할꺼라고
Saying it will last forever
그토록 믿어왔었던 나를
The me who believed it so much
웃고 있나요 그렇게 날 떠난후에
Are you laughing after leaving me like that?
힘들어하는건 이제는 나뿐인가요
Am I the only one suffering now?
(Oh) 기억하나요
(Oh) Do you remember?
그대의 그 한마디를
Your one word
영원할꺼라고
Saying it will last forever
그토록 믿었었던 나를
The me who believed it so much
웃고있나요 그렇게 날 떠난후에
Are you laughing after leaving me like that?
힘들어하는건 이제는 나뿐인가요
Am I the only one suffering now?
다 잊은건가요
Have I forgotten everything?
그대의 그 한마디를
Your one word
영원할꺼라고
Saying it will last forever
그토록 믿었었던 나를
The me who believed it so much
기억속에선 아직도 웃고있지만
In my memories, I'm still smiling
나그대를 위해
For your sake
이제는 다 잊어야겠죠
Now, I must forget everything
잊어야겠죠 잊어야겠죠
I should forget, I should forget
잊을수있겠죠 다 잊어줄게요
I can forget, I will forget everything

It really hits me hard, it's so emotional. I like her cover a lot better than the original- it feels like she's the one who went through the story... I'm from Korea but never had seen something like this - makes me feel homesick in some different way.
