걸어온 길

She debuted in 2005 with 〈오늘밤 일〉, released her 1st full-length album that July, and followed with further hits through 〈바본가봐〉.

〈유혹의 소나타〉, the title track of her 2nd full-length album in 2007, became hugely popular and established her as a leading sexy dance singer. She later broadened her musical range with works such as the ballad mini album 《Interview》.

She began working in musicals in 2010 and won Best Female Newcomer at the 2012 Korea Musical Awards for the role of Roxie Hart in 《Chicago》. In 2026 she took the stage on Broadway in the same role.

In April 2007, the Seoul Central District Court issued a broadcast ban on the 〈유혹의 소나타〉 music video, finding it similar to scenes from the film 《Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children》. In November of that year, her agency acknowledged unauthorized plagiarism.
