She first reached the World Junior Stage last year, and now, she is a leader of the rising figure skating stars who are going to lead Korean figure skating for the next generation.
In the fifth of the Junior Grand Prix on October, last year, she ranked number 6 overall, and only a week later she raised two places in her ranking, which together ranked number 4 in the second competition.
