Facts about Jung Dong-ha
Debut as the Ninth Vocalist of Rock Band Boowhal
In 2005, when Boohwal had their 20th anniversary, it was also the first time for Boowhal to announce their most recent vocalist, which was also their 9th vocalist, Jung Dong-ha. The new guy was just almost the same age as the band itself. Jung Dong-ha at that time was 25 years old and had just finished his mandatory military service the year before that. He got chosen as Boohwal’s 9th vocalist through the open audition for a new vocalist.

Jung Dong-ha Leaving the Vocalist Position of Boohwal
In January 2014, it was reported that Jung Dong-ha, the youngest member of Boohwal, has ended his contract and does not want to renew it. By that, the 9th vocalist of the band has finally decided to leave Boohwal. On the last concert of Boohwal with their longest-running vocalist, Kim Tae-won said that he respected Jung Dong-ha and wished him the best in the future as if he gave a hint that the vocalist would like to go. Before he decided to leave, Jung Dong-ha already gained people’s attention by having some solo activities like participating in Immortal Song, singing for a drama OST, and starring in a musical theatre. That’s why Jung Dong-ha decided to continue his career as a solo singer. It must be so sad since Jung Dong-ha already has been with Boohwal for nine years. He started his career with the legendary band and must have been learning a lot with its members. Well, since Kim Tae-won as the frontman himself already supported and let Jung Dong-ha go, we as fans could just hope for the best for Jung Dong-ha in the future with his solo career. Good luck, Jung Dong-ha!
