born on november 6th, 2001 in incheon, south korea, moonsun was born as the youngest of three children. her father held a management position at samsung, while her mother worked at a daycare center. with two older brothers, moonsun grew up interested in sports, taking up volleyball, soccer, and cheerleading as a child. after attending DREAM CONCERT in 2013 with her brothers, however, moonsun's interests shifted from sports to the idol industry.
however, although she wanted to try her hand at auditioning, moonsun's parents prevented her from doing so, seeing as she was merely thirteen and still in middle school. on the other hand, her older brother would audition for STAR EMPIRE ENTERTAINMENT that year, with moonsun and their mother in tow. during the audition, though, moonsun was noticed by an employee, who attempted to persuade her into auditioning. since her mother was there, however, she declined for her. moonsun's missed opportunity upset her, and for the next few days, she would be rather bitter about it.
moonsun's brother would go on to debut two years later, and his group would pick up a fair amount of traction. their moderate success waned, however, and in 2017, he would leave the group. prior to 2015, though, moonsun would incessantly attempt to persuade her parents into letting her audition, seeing as her brother successfully debuted. they were adamant on waiting until she was old enough, however, and let her join a dance studio in 2014 as a way to "compensate."
inspired by her brother, moonsun would begin posting her self-written music to youtube, mostly as a hobby. and although her posts wouldn't gain much traction and didn't lead to anything major, 2015 would be a huge turning point for her.
while grocery shopping with her mother, moonsun would be scouted by BIGHIT ENTERTAINMENT. now that she was fifteen, her parents were a little more willing to let her audition, but her mother was still rather skeptical. moonsun begged her mother on the spot, and with enough convincing, she was finally allowed to pursue her dream.
behind the scenes, bighit had been looking to acquire another female trainee, wanting to create a "fuller" lineup for their upcoming girl group. with their debut postponed (again) and two of their trainees set to participate in PRODUCE, it was the perfect time to add to the group. rather than organizing a traditional audition, however (as that would attract too much attention due to bighit's uptick in notoriety), bighit would scout girls to participate in one-on-one auditions. and out of the twelve girls scouted, moonsun was the sole auditionee to pass all three rounds.
having joined too late to participate in PRODUCE, moonsun spent her time as a trainee honing her skills, mainly in rap. and although she would model here and there, she spent most of her time catching up to the rest of the girls.
and finally, after two years, moonsun would debut in 2017 as KRUSH's lead rapper and youngest member. through her visuals, "cute but cool" attitude, and unique voice, moonsun would garner significant fanbases both internationally and domestically, becoming the SECOND MOST POPULAR member internationally, and the THIRD MOST POPULAR in south korea.
