Girl Group Fiestar member Cao Lu fingered actress Park Shin-hye as her role model during the latest episode of talk show “Radio Star.”

The Chinese singer said she initially came to South Korea as she was fascinated by actress Jang Na-ra and then studied Korean language for two years in college here.

“There were also other celebrities -- Park Shin-hye, Go Ara and Kang Ha-neul -- in my school (Chung-Ang University),” she said.

Picking Park Shin-hye as her role model, she said, “Park studied hard in school. She was never late and prepared for tests well.”

“I thought if I work hard like her, I could be successful,” she added.

Cao Lu was previously a solo singer in China after winning a 2004 state-run TV network CCTV-sponsored singing contest before she debuted as a member of Fiestar in 2012.

MBC hit talk show “Radio Star” airs every Wednesday at 11:10 p.m.
