Before HANA
JISOO is South Korean and trained in Korea before entering the Japanese audition ecosystem. Fan and profile reporting notes that she spent time training under YG Entertainment, giving her experience with the K-pop trainee system before No No Girls reframed her path around individual artistry.
No No Girls
JISOO entered CHANMINA and BMSG’s audition project as one of the trainees asked to show more than technical competence. The program’s entire argument was that women rejected by conventional systems could become more compelling artists once the supposedly “wrong” parts stopped being edited out. JISOO survived that process and was selected for HANA’s seven-member final lineup on January 12, 2025.
HANA career
HANA officially debuted with “ROSE” on April 2, 2025. The group’s sound leaves room for individual tone, live delivery, and the hip-hop/R&B instincts encouraged by CHANMINA. JISOO quickly became recognizable for distinctive vocalist · songwriter.
“I Got Your Back” with ILLIT
In July 2026, JISOO joined MOMOKA as a featured performer and lyric contributor on ILLIT’s “I Got Your Back.” The collaboration placed HANA’s rougher vocal and rap textures inside ILLIT’s bright magical-girl pop-rock world. It worked well enough that the comment sections immediately turned into HANA recruitment booths.

Performance identity
JISOO’s voice is darker and fuller than the surrounding ILLIT blend, which is exactly why the feature works. She can make a melodic line sound grounded without flattening its sweetness. Her value is not “big vocal” as a generic compliment; it is the sense that a lyric has acquired history the moment she sings it.
