My Parents Were Kpop Idols Too: Famous Parents of Kpop Stars

Some stars work hard for the money and some stars were born into fame, fortune, notoriety, and the business. Today we're going to take a look at those who fell into the business because their mom and dad were entertainers or within the industry.

Solo singer Eru is the youngest son of the most popular and most loved veteran Korean trot singer of all time, Tae Jin Ah. Before Eru made the decision to embark on the journey to become a singing sensation, he wanted to prove to the world that he was simply more than just someone's son. His goal was to be a separate entity from his famous pop and be known for his music and not as someone's shadow. Eru proved himself when he wrote and produced many of the songs found on his three albums. His biggest hits to date were "Black Glasses," and "White Snow," both of which I used to replay over and over on my iPod!

T-ara's Jeon Boram and sister Wooram of Korean girl group, D-Unit have got entertainment and music flowing in their blood. The girls' father is Jeon Youngrok, a huge popular singer back in the 70's and 80's and their mother, Lee Mi Young, is a famous actress who has appeared in a countless number of successful K-dramas and films. Their grandfather Hwang Hae, and grandmother, Baek Sul Hee, were both famous singers as well. These girls were destined to be entertainers!

2NE1's Minzy is the granddaughter of famous folk dancer, Gong Ok Jin who is best known for her 'hunchback dance." Grandma Gong definitely passed her best dancing traits down to her young granddaughter because Minji is undoubtedly one of the most talented hip hop dancers in the K-pop industry. I would love to see these two create an out of this world routine with their individual dance styles. How insanely cool would that be? Granny Gong doing her hunchback dance and baby Minji breaking it down with hip hop? Sounds like the perfect duo team!

Shinhwa Jun Jin's pony-tail wearing dad, Charlie Park, also known as Park Young Chul was a singer who debuted with a solo album entitled Casanova Sarang back in 2004. The two had a tough relationship growing up and only mended it when they got older.

Well, sometimes fame does really run in the family.
