Early Life, Education, and Career Beginnings

Seulgi grew up in Ansan, raised by her parents alongside an older brother. She attended Ansan Byeolmang Middle School, and even then was interested in finding a career as an idol. She auditioned for the largest South Korean entertainment company – SM Entertainment – and was successful, leading her to move to South Korea to begin her training. SM Entertainment is known to be the home of popular acts such as Super Junio, Girls’ Generation, NCT, Exo, and many more.

She attended the School of Performing Arts Seoul, a place known for focusing on the arts, with many trainees and aspiring idols studying there. One of her early advantages was that she learned to speak Japanese. For the next six years she trained and worked in SM behind the scenes. One of her first public appearances was in the project SM Rookies, which featured trainees before they were introduced to any girl groups. She joined future NCT members there including Taeyong and Jeno.
