Career

Kahi discovered her passion for dance at 16, inspired by the hip-hop group Roo’ra to pursue a music career. Despite facing opposition from her family, she moved to Seoul to follow her dreams, taking on part-time jobs while refining her dance and performance skills.

Her dedication and perseverance eventually paved the way for her entry into the entertainment industry. Her professional journey began in 2000 when she gained recognition as the main dancer for DJ DOC’s hit song Run to You. However, the pressures of the industry led her to take a brief hiatus.

She later joined SM Entertainment, where she worked as a backup dancer for BoA for three years and supported other artists. 2005, she transitioned to CJ Music and debuted with the Korean-American girl group S. Blush in 2007.

Their single It’s My Life achieved success on the Billboard Dance Chart, but the group disbanded due to management issues. In 2009, Kahi re-debuted as the leader of After School under Pledis Entertainment, guiding the group through its rise to fame with innovative performances incorporating drums and pole dancing.

However, the agency’s “admissions and graduations” system created instability, leading Kahi to embark on a solo career. She made her solo debut in 2011 with Come Back, You Bad Person and participated in After School’s sub-unit A.S. Red before officially leaving the group in June 2012.

She released the album Who Are You? (2013) as a soloist and starred in musicals such as Bonnie & Clyde.

She also expanded into acting, appearing in dramas like Dream High 2, and later gained prominence as a dance trainer on Produce 101 Seasons 1 and 2, mentoring aspiring idols.

In 2021, she reunited with former After School members for an exceptional performance on SBS’s MMTG, delighting longtime fans. Despite not being affiliated with an agency, Kahi continues to appear on television and variety programs, such as Mama the Idol (2021), reaffirming her lasting influence in the entertainment industry.
