Jia's school held auditions with JYP Entertainment and she was selected to be on a girl group in 2007. Jia, along with fellow Miss A member Fei, appeared in 2PM's "My Color" music video. While still in training, the group flew to China where they appeared in numerous variety shows performing dance routines and songs to showcase their talent to the Chinese audience. As the group had no official name they were widely known to fans unofficially as JYP Sisters or simply as "Sisters (시스터즈)" and was dubbed by JYP as the "Chinese Wonder Girls". The girls began their first official promotional activities in China as a group by signing up with Samsung China and released a commercial song called "Love Again" for the Samsung Beat Festival.
Miss A made their official debut in South Korea as a four-member group on June 30 with their single "Bad Girl Good Girl" which was taken from their debut mini-album called "Bad but Good". The group and their debut single was well-received by the public and critics alike.
The group later on made their comeback with their second mini-album called "Step Up" on September 26. The group promoted "Breathe" as the lead single for the album and showed an "exotic and a doll-like transformation" that was completely different from their debut single's concept. Jia appeared in M&D's music video for "Close Your Mouth"
On July 18, 2011, Miss A released their first full length album A Class and promote Good Bye Baby as the main single. On September 30 they released 'A Class Taiwan Special Edition' making their official Chinese debut.
