Rising actress Jang Da-Ah is gaining attention as the older sister of Jang Won-Young, a popular IZ*ONE member. The newcomer carries the weight of her sister's fame as she steps into the entertainment world, with her success or struggle depending largely on her own efforts.

According to industry sources, King Kong by Starship recently signed an exclusive contract with Jang Da-Ah, Jang Won-Young's older sister. Jang Da-Ah, currently 23 years old, is working as a model for a brand and is preparing for her acting career, with no specific projects announced yet.

Born in 2001, Jang Da-Ah is three years older than her sister Jang Won-Young. She graduated from an arts high school, majoring in Korean dance. Even before her debut, Jang Da-A's beauty was well-known. An entertainment insider said, "When Jang Won-Young joined the entertainment agency, people around her thought that her older sister, Jang Da-Ah, was the one preparing to be an entertainer."

Jang Da-Ah's debut in the entertainment industry was anticipated as King Kong by Starship has maintained a good relationship with her following Jang Won-Young's successful debut. It is a result of Jang Da-Ah's determination and the agency's judgment.

However, not everything is favorable for Jang Da-Ah. As she is introduced as "Jang Won-Young's sister," expectations are high. As she embarks on her acting career, people's expectations will be elevated. In an industry where success is not guaranteed, both the agency and Jang Da-Ah face deep concerns.

Her sister, Jang Won-Young, has grown into an icon of her generation. Possessing star quality from a young age, Jang Won-Young is known for her exceptional beauty, entertainment skills, hosting abilities, and diligence. Being sisters can be an advantage, but it can also cast an inescapable shadow.

Jang Da-Ah has chosen the acting industry, where beauty and intellect can help but not guarantee success. Acting is a field where only those with excellent skills can prevail, and many actors with perfect looks have failed to secure their positions. This is also why not every idol who has tried acting has succeeded.

Criticism will be as intense as the heightened attention due to her relationship with Jang Won-Young. "Did she try acting just because of her looks?" is an evaluation that could easily surface. Jealousy from other actors' fans could also hurt Jang Da-Ah. However, entering the entertainment industry with all this burden is Jang Da-Ah's own choice. Numerous eyes are watching to see if she has prepared a 'secret weapon' to turn the tide.
