Early life

She initially planned to study fine arts in France but was unable to do so due to financial constraints.
While living in Seoul, she supported herself through various part-time jobs, including modeling, commercial work, and shifts at a bar. During this period, she was discovered by a management company and encouraged to try acting, which marked the beginning of her career in the entertainment industry.
