Early Life
Minnie loves to play piano since she was young which was influenced by her mom. She always watches her mom playing piano and asks to teach her how to play it. While in Elemenatry School, she bring her friend to learn singing with her. That is because she was inspired by Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" and likes it so much. After that whenever her school held events, she always shows up at the stage. She also became a cheerleader, drum player, actress in a stage pkay and etc.

Since K-Pop was very famous in her school life, she wanted to become a K-Pop singer but she always thinks it's so impossible and just a dream. CUBE held an audition while she's on a vocal lesson. Her vocal teacher asked "Why don't you try it?" and she went to the audition. She can't believe that she actually passed the audition. She thinks if she will go to South Korea as a trainee or to go to the university as a student and going to South Korea alone was very hard. She asked her parents and responds "Look if you had 1 shot (1 opportunity) to seize everything you wanted, 1 moment would you capture it or just let it slip?". Then, she decides to go to South Korea. 3 years since that days, she got tired and sometimes lost hopes but she had learned many things. She met new friends and make a good experience. So, she never regret to chose to come here. She had a chance to do what her love and her dreams to come true.
