She decided to become an idol against her parents' wishes. She auditioned for SM Entertainment and was rejected fifteen times. She then went to JYP, where she got accepted... only to be let go once she was one step away from debuting.
She then honed her craft the next couple of years, working part-time at sales to save money. She got into FNC and then spent more than half of her savings to finance her trainee life in this company. She trained (again) for two years before finally debuting as part of a girl group. Because of their CEO's concept for the group, she had to learn to play lead guitar - but the girl band concept didn't take off. It took three more years before AOA began to pull in decent revenue.
The thing that gets me though, is that for all her effort, if it hadn't been for a friend helping her get into FNC her prospects to debut would have been pretty bleak. But if she hadn't worked so hard, she would never be known now as such a great vocalist.
