Born in Jinjam-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, South Korea, Seoyeon grew up in a household consisting of her mother and father, though she deliberately avoided disclosing information about potential siblings. During her childhood, she developed an interest in football and supported player Hwang In-bum.

Following graduation, she became an ordinary student preparing for university entrance examinations as a repeat student, with no particular connections to the entertainment industry.

Path to becoming a tripleS member

While preparing to retake the College Scholastic Ability Test in 2022, Seoyeon received a casting offer through social media from a MODHAUS employee who had remembered her from four years earlier. She initially refused the offer and had even canceled her college entrance fee, quit Instagram, and cut off contact with friends to concentrate on exam preparation. However, her parents persistently urged her to accept the opportunity, arguing it was too valuable to dismiss. Following arguments with her family, particularly with her father, Seoyeon reconsidered the decision. She ultimately accepted the offer from MODHAUS and signed with the company, immediately debuting as S1 of tripleS with no trainee period.
