## **Career**

### **2028 - 2030: Pre-Debut and "100 Promises"**

Isabel was one of the first trainees to be recruited by Spark Entertainment during their first global audition in Shanghai in 2028, joining the company that summer and quickly becoming a popular trainee with her powerful vocals and strong dance and rap. She would be one of the first potential trainees considered when the company began looking into members to debut in their upcoming group in 2030 and would later make it into the final lineup. In May 2030, mere months before Blueflame's debut, Spark Entertainment would reveal she would no longer be debuting with the group. Instead, she would participating in the survival show "100 Promises," the first time the company would be sending a trainee to a show.

Unfortunately, a few months after Blueflame debuted, the company hosting the show would suddenly go bankrupt in the middle of filming, thus cancelling the show and Isabel would return to her home company. Pre-debut fans of the group and the fans she gained while the show was airing thought Spark Entertainment would instead debut her as a solo artist or she would be offered to terminate her contract so she could successfully debut in another company due to her being an all-rounder and early audience favorite. However, fans theorize while she likely got the offer to part from the company, she chose to stay.

### **2031: New agency**

Isabel parted ways with Spark Entertainment shortly after former Blueflame member Mei would terminated her contract due to tensions between her and the founder. Fans feel this was likely because the two formed a close bond as Isabel would be working with her to ensure she would get along well with the remaining five members of Blueflame as she felt she would be responsible for any potential hate the group would get. She would later be confirmed by Lucas Jung to have signed with Sunrise Entertainment.

### **2033 - 2034: IC**

In December 2033, she was revealed as part of IC's lineup for *Portal*, the group's first song that released on January 17, 2034. Since IC is not an official group but rather a trainee group, fans feel her being part of the lineup is a hint of an upcoming group. In June, she was featured in their second digital single, *Wilted Hearts*, further fueling rumors of her debut in a new group.

## **Trivia**

* She loves new adventures and challenges, which was partially why she wanted to go to "100 Promises."
