She has good grades at school and focus on things that she wanted, becoming an idol definitely isn't her dream but then she realized that she enjoyed every seconds that she spent in the studio, practicing ballet. She finds out that her passion is in art, she decided to againts her parents' wish to go to Korea. She still has an awkward relationship with her parents because she choose to go to Korea to pursue her dream as an artist.
