Personal Life

edit

Yoon Seo-yeon was born in Daejeon Metropolitan City, Junggu, South Korea, on August 6, 2003. Yoon recieved several recruitment offers from various entertainment agencies in the past, but denied them all as she thought that being a celebrity wasn't for her and continued preparing for the College Scholastic Ability Test. When she received the offer from her current agency, she decided to accept the offer, as she had always thought her life was like a 'supporting character' rather than a 'main character', so she was motivated to give it a try.[1]
