Heo Min Sun, known professionally as Way, is a South Korean singer, dancer, actress, former member of N.DOLPHIN (엔돌핀), and current member of CRAYON POP (크레용팝). She dropped out of high school but later passed the High School Graduation Certification Examination. She then obtained a bachelor's degree in Applied Music from Suwon Women's University and an associate's degree in Acting from Seoul Institute of the Arts. She is the twin sister of Heo Min Jin (known professionally as Choa), and she is younger by 1 minute.

She made her debut in November 2011 as N.DOLPHIN's vocalist with their first album, "By Your Side".

At the same time, the CEO of Chrome Entertainment (크롬엔터테인먼트) was forming a new group but did not want any trainee who was over 1.65 m or had a sexy image. She was offered a spot, but she initially declined it as she was still part of N.DOLPHIN. The group was originally named HURRICANE POP and had a pre-debut in January 2012 when they presented the single "Bing, Bing" in Hangzhou, China. The performance was filmed by Chinese TV and included in an episode of the drama "Curry Campus". As Japan had suffered some bad weather that triggered tsunami alerts, the CEO thought it would be insensitive to have the word "hurricane" in the group's name, so he decided to change it to CRAYON POP, and he also chose the members' stage names. When original pre-debut member Yang Se Hyeon (known as Sarang) decided to leave the group in May 2012, she was offered a spot again. This time, she accepted, left N.DOLPHIN and became a trainee for only 2 months.

She re-debuted in July 2012 (under the stage name Way) as CRAYON POP's main rapper and lead vocalist with their first mini-album simply titled "Crayon Pop 1st Mini Album". Unfortunately, the album did not receive much attention, was not commercially successful, and also depleted the agency's budget. They continued to struggle in the following months as the group was only invited to 3 music shows, so in October 2012, they decided to go out and perform on the streets in guerrilla-style concerts. They were usually singing in the freezing weather, dressed in colorful attires and including unusual choreographies like jumping to grab the public's attention.

In June 2013, they released the song "Bar, Bar, Bar", which had been previewed during those street performances. The single became quite popular and stayed at the top of Billboard's Korea K-Pop Hot 100 chart for more than a month. The group was able to sign with Sony Music Entertainment to distribute their music internationally, won 1st place in a music show for the first time, and began performing abroad. In June-July 2014, they were the opening act for Lady Gaga during her 12 concerts in Canada and the US. In August 2016, they collaborated with Mexican boy band CD9 and released the single "Get Dumb" in both English and a mix of Spanish and Korean.

In October 2014, she debuted with her sister as part of the sub-unit STRAWBERRY MILK (딸기우유) with their first mini-album, "The 1st Mini Album". The single "Let Me Know" was fully written by her and included lyrics reflecting all their struggles to become singers. When they left the agency, they changed the unit's name to CHOA X WAY (초아 & 웨이).

Her contract with Chrome expired in March 2017, and she later became a YouTuber. A few months later, all group members (except Soyul) decided to sign a non-exclusive contract with Chrome to remain as part of CRAYON POP. However, the group has not released any new material since the,n and there are no indications of a possible reunion, but they have never officially disbanded.

She is currently not represented by any agency.
