Younha (Japanese: ユンナ, Yunna, Korean: Go Youn-ha-고윤하), born April 29, 1988 in Seoul, Korea, is a K-Pop and J-Pop singer.
Younha made her debut as an artist at the young age of sixteen. Nicknamed the "Oricon comet" for her success in Japan, she has currently released eight singles and two albums with varying degrees of success; however, many of her songs have been featured in animes/dramas. Although she is often compared to BoA because she is a Korean who is active in Japan, speaks Japanese well, and is also one of the few Koreans to rank on the Oricon chart, there are significant differences in musical style and performance.
Younha began to compose her own music recently. The song "Kaerimichi" released on her fifth single "My Lover" is the first song released for which she wrote the lyrics and composed the music for. In addition, she composed the music for the song "homegirl" released on "Te wo Tsunaide".
Exactly 2 months after "Hakanaku Tsuyoku", Younha went back to her home country to release her first Korean Album entitled 고백하기 좋은 날 (Go Baek Ha Gi Jo Eun Nal, translated "A Good Day to Confess"). She recorded a MV for the third track "비밀번호 486" (Bi Mil Bun Ho 486, translated "Password 486") which stars fellow Stam artist Yoon Ji Hoo. The video featured many image changes for Younha which include her first ever kiss. The album also features a collaboration with Wheesung.
Younha is signed to Epic Records, which is owned by Sony Music Japan. Her Korean agency is Stam Entertainment.
