걸어온 길

She grew up in Canada and came to Korea through an audition in 2005. After her O-Sonyeo debut fell through, she went through JYP and prepared for a solo debut at Cube Entertainment.

After a pre-release song sung with Rain in 2010, she debuted with 〈꺼져줄게 잘 살아〉, the title track of her 1st mini album. She mainly sang dance pop featuring refreshing vocals and performance.

〈Black & White〉, the title track of her 1st full-length album, reached No. 1 on the Gaon Digital Chart in 2011, and in 2012 she topped KBS's 《Music Bank》 with 〈2HOT〉.

In 2016, she was fined 2 million won for violating the Act on the Punishment of Acts of Arranging Sexual Traffic and paused her activities. G.NA denied the allegation, and in July 2026 she announced a comeback with a remake of 〈꺼져줄게 잘 살아〉.
