## History

### Early life

Go Won was born as Park Chae-Won on November 19, 2000, in Incheon, South Korea. She is a middle child with an older brother and younger sister.

In August 2016, Go Won decided to become an idol after attending Oh My Girl's "Summer Fairy Tale" concert. To train to become an idol, she joined LP Dance & Vocal Academy, specializing in dance. While training under the academy, she participated in a few dance covers and auditioned for Source Music. However, she was not accepted and continued to train under LP Dance & Vocal.

She stated that the "members would be such nice friends," and that she would enjoy being in a group like LOONA.
