Pre-career
In a 2007 episode of the SBS variety show Star King, Ye-rin performed "Listen" by Beyoncé[2] and became known as a "contemporary R&B genius".[3]
JYP audition and training (pre-debut)
After her Star King appearance, Ye-rin decided to audition for JYP Entertainment. She performed "Listen" in the audition day,[4] and later won the second place honors, behind only 2PM's Jang Woo-young.[5] She spent five years (2007-2012) training in South Korea and the United States, and was called a "genius girl" for her vocal talent, skills in using the piano and fluency in the English language.[3]
Debut in 15&
On September 25, 2012, JYP announced the debut of 15& through a video teaser.
The 40-second clip showed Ye-rin's partner, K-pop Star winner Park Ji-min, seated at a desk as she hums and scribbles on some music sheets. She is joined at the desk by another girl (Ye-rin), who proceeds to hold Ji-min’s hands.[6]
Two days later, JYP released the new jacket CD cover of 15& and revealed Ye-rin to be the second member of the duo.[7] Netizens were delighted upon the announcement.[8]
The duo later debuted with their first single, "I Dream", on October 7, 2012 via SBS' Inkigayo.
