Jang Nara cancels press conference in China

Singer/actress Jang Nara, 25, cancelled a press conference on Dec. 31 in China where she was scheduled to announce the release of her second album, entitled "Kung Fu". Jang notified organizers of her decision shortly before the conference was to begin and left the venue.

Jang's agency said the singer called off the conference because its organizers used photographs of her without permission to promote a commercial store.

The Chinese media reported that Jang "unilaterally called off the press conference and left, simply wishing reporters a happy New Year when they asked for an explanation for her move."

Jang's agency, Warner Brothers, said Jan. 2 that it unsuccessfully attempted to reach Jang's father for comments, and will soon announce its official stance on the incident.

The agency said both the singer and her father, who left for China two weeks ago, could not be reached because their mobile phones are turned off.
