She is from Thailand. MyDaily described her as Thai in a report of 1 December 2025, and in the same report she called Thailand her home. Edaily, interviewing her in January 2025, wrote that she had spent seven years as i-dle’s main vocalist and one of its producers.

Her first solo mini album, HER, came out at 6 p.m. KST on 21 January 2025. thebell reported that Minnie is credited as a writer and composer on all seven of its tracks. She wrote the lyrics of the title track ‘HER’ with BIG Naughty; TEN of WayV features on ‘Obsession (Feat. TEN of WayV)’, and her own groupmate Yuqi on ‘Drive U Crazy (Feat. YUQI ((G)I-DLE))’.

Minnie had already taken lyric and composition credits on i-dle’s own songs, and her first solo album is seven of her own.

What else she has done

On 1 December 2025 she donated 50 million won to World Vision Thailand for children and vulnerable families in the flooded south of the country. “I was deeply saddened to hear that Thailand, my home, had been so badly hit by these sudden floods,” she said through MyDaily, adding that she hoped the money would help children and vulnerable families get their lives back to normal as soon as possible.

What to watch

The group’s official YouTube channel is the place to start. K-Culture Radar links to official uploads rather than re-hosting them, so that channel and the Korean music shows are where to follow her.
