Won-hee’s Catchy Greetings

  • When she was first cast, Won-hee was an ordinary schoolgirl preparing to become a taekwondo competitor.
  • She became a trainee after receiving a street casting for BillyFrap at a high-speed terminal, and her audition song for the headquarters was NewJeans’ Hype Boy.

  • Participation in “ARE YOU NEXT”

She debuted as a member of ILLIT through R.U.NEXT, which was organized by JTBC and BE:LIFT, with a final score of 1st place.

  • Vocal ability
  • Despite her fairly short training period, she has shown a lot of hard work combined with her natural skills.
  • She has a good grasp of the basics such as vocalization, volume, and breathing, and is strong in live dance. She was recognized for her vocal skills in the fifth season of Round 5 and Round 4 of Across the Universe, where she was able to hit the high notes[23] well.
  • At the beginning of R.U.NEXT, she was not confident due to the short trainee period of one month, but she grew more and more confident and made tremendous growth.

She then sang the main vocals for both the Round 5 and Round 6 new missions, proving her vocal prowess.
  • Dance skills
