STAYC’s Sieun’s Pre-Debut
We know that Sieun was a child actress before she made a debut in STAYC. She is also known to be the daughter of a popular Korean singer, Park Nam-jung. Knowing this fact, no one could predict that she will make a debut as an idol when she grows up. Not only that, but she was also a trainee of JYP Entertainment. Well, instead of just getting confused by Sieun’s story before she made a debut in STAYC, let’s see the pre-debut story of Sieun below! Sieun was born with the name Park Si-eun, just like how she was called when she starred in every K-drama that she was in. Sieun is the daughter of Park Jung-nam, the Korean singer who made a debut in 1988. Park Jung-nam and his wife got married in the year 1999. They had their first child, Sieun, who was born in 2001. Sieun lived in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, along with her parents and her younger sister who was born in 2004. Having a beautiful face since she was a kid, Sieun has impressed people by showing her acting skills and cute face in some Korean movies or dramas. She made her debut as an actress in 2014 when she starred in Pride and Prejudice. She kept on going as she joined JYP Entertainment as an actress in their subsidiary company for the acting field, JYP Actor starting in 2017. However, Sieun did not only sign a contract for JYP Actor, but she also became a trainee who will debut as an idol later. Sieun’s popularity as a trainee in JYP Entertainment has been going around the internet. Especially since she also starred in some dramas during that time, and made popular the name of JYP Actors. Since she was around 17 years old at that time, people predicted that she will be included in JYP Entertainment’s upcoming girl group. And that’s why we saw Sieun’s name in some potential members of JYP Entertainment’s new girl group. Her age matched, her skills in singing are undoubtful, she is also perfect for the visual, not to mention her acting skills… people started to call her the second Bae Suzy, especially if Sieun actually joined ITZY, the upcoming girl group of JYP Entertainment. Just like Suzy who started her career as an idol in Miss A. But turned out Sieun’s path to be an idol wasn’t in JYP Entertainment. First of all, ITZY made a debut in early 2019 without including Sieun in the line-up. There was a rumor going around that Sieun will be focusing on acting instead of becoming an idol. People also wondered if maybe Sieun will be debuting in the next girl group. All these questions were answered when Sieun left JYP Entertainment and searched for a new agency, High-Up Entertainment. It is the agency that later debuted her as an idol. When she was auditioning for High-Up Entertainment, Sieun sang TWICE‘s song “Fancy”, and Kim Sejong‘s song “One in Ten Thousand”. Sieun officially became a trainee of High-Up Entertainment in August 2019.
STAYC’s Sieun’s Debut
Sieun’s journey to becoming an idol was filled with ups and downs. She almost debuted as an ITZY member, but it turned out that she was one of the JYP actresses, she even signed with other acting agencies such as BH Entertainment or KEY EAST Entertainment. But Sieun disproved all these speculations and turned down all the predictions by joining a K-pop agency called High-Up Entertainment. She really has a strong will to pursue her dream as a singer and it shows. In October 2020, High-Up Entertainment announced that they will be debuting a new girl group soon called STAYC. The group has six beautiful and talented members, who are Sieun, Sumin, Seeun, J, Isa, and Yoon. The group’s name itself is an acronym for “Star to a Young Culture”, it’s also the title of the first single album of STAYC.
