She took up the sport while she was at primary school in Ulsan, Republic of Korea. (khu, 21 Nov 2017; sportsq, 19 Oct 2015)
:
She moved to a new primary school and the school had an archery team. "When I was in the third grade, our gym teacher asked us to raise our hands if we were interested in trying archery. So I raised my hand and started the sport. I guess I took it up without any thought or hesitation. When I asked my dad if I could learn archery, he told me that I could only do it if I was going to pursue this as my career. He said that if I was going to quit midway through, then I shouldn't do it. That's how I kept going with the sport." (koreajoongangdaily, 13 Aug 2020; sportsq, 19 Oct 2015)

General
TEAM PREFERENCE
Of the individual, women's team, and mixed team events, she prefers competing in the women's team event. "I feel more confident in the team event. I would say they all feel similar but in the team event, the three archers get their minds together to perform as one. So when we perform well, it's really fun." (koreajoongangdaily, 13 Aug 2020)

DRAW WEIGHT
She chooses to use a bow with a draw weight of around 46 pounds. "Female athletes' draw weight is usually around 40-41 pounds. However, I use a heavier bow, because an arrow is not [as] affected by wind in a heavy bow. Therefore I have focused on increasing [my] upper body strength."
