A pivotal moment came when she delivered a speech during a class president election, and her friends found her story highly amusing. This experience led her to consider a career in comedy, as she believed she had the ability to bring laughter to others. However, everything changed when she attended a performance of the musical Subway Line 1 during her third year of middle school. The profound impact of the play ignited her passion for acting, and she started envisioning herself standing on stage as an actress. It led her to try producing it with friends a few years later.

This decision boosted her confidence and led her to fully commit to acting. She seeks to expand her career by seeking diverse experiences. Her ultimate aspiration is to continue acting with confidence and authenticity, utilizing her unique voice and expression.
