Biography

Yuna was born on December 30, 1992 in Busan, South Korea.[1] She began playing piano when she was 7 years old, leading to her having interest in becoming a singer as an adult. At the age of 18, she traveled to Seoul from Busan alone after getting consent from her parents. She transferred schools and stayed at her uncle’s house while she went to auditions and practiced singing.[2]

Yuna's younger sister Yuri made her debut in 2015 with girl group Berry Good under Asia Bridge Entertainment, adopting the stage name "Seoyul".[3][4][5][6]
