## **Career**

### **2017: Diamond in the Rough**

In 2017, she participated in the survival show *Diamond in the Rough* where she started in 18th place. She was eliminated in the fourth episode.

### **2025: Debut with Astrolight**

On May 14, 2025, she debuted with Astrolight as the visual and main vocal on their first EP *Into the New World.*

### **2026: Solo Debut**

In August 2026, Spark Entertainment announced Sophia would be debuting as a solo artist in October, releasing the first teaser on August 18. On October 3, she debuted with her first mini album *Speechless*, the first album from the company under the new CEO that would be high quality. After promotions ended, she took a hiatus from solo activities to focus on promoting with Astrolight as a group due to their rise in popularity and to work on their upcoming full-length album *Rise* but would occasionally release digital singles, including a collaboration with Jason in January 2027 with *Winter Flower*.

### **2028: Breaking out**

With Astrolight's album release and the Japanese version of her digital single *Fire* released, Sophia would be breaking out both in South Korea and internationally along with the members of her group. She and Jason would become the first artists in Spark Entertainment to reach 1 billion music video views with their song collaboration and she would receive an offer from Capitol Records to promote in the US, which she ultimately turned down as she wanted to focus on Astrolight.

Fans theorize this would be the reason why she did not receive as many comebacks as she normally would've, considering her popularity. Other fans theorize she turned down the offer as the label didn't align with her goals and views, and there are rumors she was inactive until 2030 because Spark Entertainment wanted to punish her for refusing the offer.

### **2030 - Present: Second mini album, departure and indefinite hiatus**

In January 2030, Spark Entertainment announced Sophia was working on her second mini album, which would be releasing in March. Her second mini album *Night Falls* released on March 2, 2030, and it would be her last release as a solo artist. In May 2032, she, like the rest of Astrolight, would be parting ways with Spark Entertainment to sign with Sunrise Entertainment.

In a Q&A session on B-Live during *Grim* promotions, a fan asked if she would be making comeback soon as a solo artist and she responded that she would not, however, she would potentially be receiving solo songs in future Astrolight albums rather than as a separate artist. This left some fans disappointed as the chances of her having a solo song in the group's albums would be rare.
