Nam Jeongho was a member of the dance company Cie Jean-Gaudin in 1980 in France. After returning to Korea, while holding a position as a professor of the dance department at Kyungsung University in Busan, she founded the dance company 'Zoom' with which she actively pursued her creative endeavors. Her personal monographs, such as New Dance, are used as teaching references at many Korean universities.
After the establishment of the School of Dance at Korea National University of Arts in 1996, she was invited as a professor of the Conducting program in the School of Dance and has contributed to training and developing talent in Korean contemporary dance until her retirement in 2018.
Jeongho was a visiting teacher and choreographer at the Korean National Ballet Company.
In 2020 Nam Jeongho became an artistic director at the helm, the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company.
Nam Jeongho's style of dance that stood out from the norm, during the era where much of contemporary dance in Korea was centered around the American style of dance, is recognized to have opened up Korean contemporary dance to a new path.
As a child, Jeongho Nam was very shy and fearful and possessed a great imagination. As she did not express her inner world, she began to dance.
