Goe Byeol is one of the youngest coaches/trainers at CJ E&M, and for good reason. With various awards and albums to her name, Byeol has much to show for at the very ripe age of 23 and is flourishing with talent and skill. She is the daughter of a prize-winning orchestra pianist and was expected to also follow in her father's footsteps, but instead decided to rebel at the young age of 14 as a rap protege, earning herself the title of "youngest rapper to grace Korea" to a professional grade. She's mature beyond her years with a worldly disposition that brings a freshness to music. Experimental and creative, Byeol is a master of the mic and a testament to breaking boundaries and pushing limits and will not hesitate to drive the girls of SPECTRUM to earn them a place near her throne. that is, if they can keep up.
