Gugudan’s Sally’s Pre-Debut
Sally joined a group dance club when she was studying in school. Her major at the club was street dance. She practiced dancing since her schooldays.

Gugudan’s Sally’s Official Debut
Jellyfish Entertainment started announcing Gugudan’s members in early June 2016. Sejeong and Mina were the first and second members while Sally was introduced as the eighth member. In China, 8 is considered a lucky number. Sally took the position as the lead rapper and sub vocalist of Gugudan. In the first and second albums, her parts were minimum, but starting from the fourth album, her parts increased gradually. The Korean language was always her weak point. She was often criticized for lacking the minimum skill Korean. In public, Sally couldn’t have a conversation in the Korean language other than introducing herself. In a meet and greet event, Gugudan’s members were divided into two teams, and they had to guess Korean proverbs. Sally gave up on it and she didn’t even try explaining the proverbs. Perhaps it was the reason why she couldn’t get more parts in singing and dancing. Sadly, she was always stationed in the backline during choreography. But, don’t underestimate her talent. She was known as the lead dancer in Gugudan. Her moves were flawless and powerful in upbeat singles but calm and cute in slow singles. Her strong points were her long black hair and sexy gaze.
