She graduated from John Marshall High School in Los Angeles, USA after living in South Korea and Germany before that. She then obtained a professional bachelor's degree from the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences in Bern, Switzerland. She joined Koreana in 1980 as the lead vocalist after winning the Grand Prize in a singing contest in West Germany in 1977. She became well known when Koreana was selected to perform the song "Hand in Hand" that became the official song of the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. She performed the song in both English and Korean.
