About
Musician and performer known in Korea as a member of the pop star group LE SSERAFIM debuted in May 2022. This move soothed her many fans who worried after her loss on the competition reality show Produce 48 that if she did not find her footing in the K-Pop community, she would return to the United States. LE SSERAFIM's debut album is titled FEARLESS. She is credited with writing some song lyrics on the album and assists her fellow bandmates with those lyrics sung in the English language. She does play instruments as she is able to work both the ukulele and the guitar, and she even has trained in the operatic style of singing.
Before Fame
She holds dual Korean and American citizenship as she was born in the United States but would return to her parents' native country for training in pop culture and performance. She appeared on the 2018 Korean reality program Produce 48, a program similar to American Idol. This was a show that intended to put together a music group of female performers. She was eliminated from the program on the 11th episode but would go on to study the next year at the Hanlim Multi Art School to receive training in performance. She studied for four years at the school but did not complete her program before beginning to work with her current group.
Trivia
Her chosen English name is Jennifer. Her Korean nickname, Kirin-chan, means Giraffe. Speaking both Korean and English fluently, she enjoys studying languages recreationally. She is also a fan of the Harry Potter franchise and identifies as a Slytherin. Perhaps not coincidentally, she is also born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Snake.
Family Life
She moved to the United States with her parents and lived in New York at the tender age of 8 months old. Her family would expand to include two younger siblings, a brother, and a sister. They would all return to Korea after she passed an audition for pop star training back in Korea for the agency Pledis Entertainment.
Associated With
She attended the Hanlim Multi Art School at the same time as fellow K-Pop musician Myung Hyung-seo. She is also close friends with one of her former Produce 48 rivals Kim Chae-won.
