She began playing table tennis at age three, and took up the sport seriously at age five. (star.mt.co.kr, 06 Feb 2020)

Her father competed in table tennis and introduced her to the sport. "When my friends were watching animations, I watched video clips about table tennis. For me, table tennis videos were so much more fun. When I watched good skills, I would stop eating and try to imitate them."

Her father. "We are like best friends. I share everything about the sport with him. But, he always told me that he just wanted me to live a happy life and not to train too much in order not to get stressed. It rather made me keep working hard."

General
LEAVING SCHOOL
After graduating from middle school in 2020, she decided to turn professional and join the Korean Air women's team instead of entering high school. "At the end of the day, I had to compete against players at club level who trained all day long, but I always began training after around 16:00. I realised more and more that I was not receiving sufficient training. When I told my father that I would like to focus on the sport completely as soon as I graduated from middle school, my father disapproved of the idea at first. However, I kept persuading him after school by saying that I wanted to hold off on my studies, not to quit, so he supported my decision in the end."
