She would attend both Seowon elementary and middle school, as well as gaining her high school education through Seowon high school. Unlike many, Noa did not always wish to be an idol when she grew up. While she liked singing and dancing, she knew the entertainment field was competitive and she felt she would never measure up to other trainees. Noa would instead get into modeling for her start, after a family-friend suggested her to get into it. She modeled for many tween/teen fashion magazines before getting scouted at a shoot. She was originally signed under Morph as a model but later was convinced to become a trainee in 2017.
Trainee period[]
She was set to debut with a girl group in 2021, but the group disbanded before debuting. She then was approached about being a soloist, which Noa happily agreed to. She would debut a year later in June 2022.
