She began boxing at the Cheonsa Gym in Hwasun, Republic of Korea, and took up the sport competitively in grade eight at middle school. (Athlete, 21 Aug 2018 )

She competed in athletics when she was younger as her parents loved sport, particularly the marathon. She decided to switch sports after watching a boxing tournament. "I asked my mother if we could watch the competition together. At that time she thought that I would feel scared to get involved in the sport, but I was fascinated by female boxers. It took a month to persuade my mother to let me start, by insisting that it would be great to know how to protect myself." (kwangju, 14 Aug 2019; post, 26 Apr 2018)
