In 2021, the Recording Academy spotlighted Adora as one of the 5 K-pop songwriters and producers who 'defined 2021' by making their mark worldwide. She also named by NME, Tone Deaf, and Bandwagon as one of new artists to watch in 2022.
Adora revealed that she used to suffer from thyroid cancer, which later became a turning point to her life to achieve her dream of becoming a singer once again.
