## History

### Childhood and education

Jeon was raised alongside her brother in South Korea by her middle-class working parents – her father is working at an insurance company, while her mother is a secretary. Jeon and her brother are very different and thus grew up not being very close to each other.

Jeon became interested in music at a very early age, as her mother would often watch music shows on TV – she started practicing singing while attending elementary school, and at the same time was interested in acting and dancing.

She attended Chungdam High School where she met Jihyo, who is today a member of the girl group TWICE and it was while at Chungdam that Jeon was noticed by a scout, and later signed a contract with FNC Ent. She trained under them for five years before switching to DSP Media, and launching her career with KARD just two months later.

Jeon matriculated from Chungdam in 2015, and then chose to focus on singing rather than on pursuing a college degree. During her trainee days, she trained for 5 years at FNC Entertainment. She later went on to join the DSP Media, training for 2 months. She debuted as a member of KARD on July 19, 2017, along with BM, J.Seph, and Jeon Somin.
