Early Life

2005-2025: Pre-debut

Ayla Iseul Karamanuk was born on August 14, 2005 in Osmaniye, Türkiye. Despite being Armenian-Korean by blood, she grew up as an ethnic minority in Türkiye. As a child, she participated in a dance group from elementary to middle school. In 2023, Ayla joined a dancing crew for covering K-Pop dances which quickly rose to fame in Türkiye, although she also garnered a lot of hate due to her ethnicity. In late February of 2025, Ayla was scouted online by a scout from LoveRail Entertainment. She passed the first auditions and later travelled to South Korea, where she successfully auditioned for the company and joined it afterwards.
