She never imagined her summer break would change her life forever.

Hyeri’s Journey from an Unplanned Audition to K-Pop Stardom

Idol-turned-actress Hyeri recently shared her unique and unexpected journey into the K-Pop industry during a candid conversation on DEX’s YouTube show, Dex’s Fridge Interview. At just 17 years old, Hyeri debuted with the popular girl group Girl’s Day, but the path that led her there was anything but conventional.

During the interview, Hyeri revealed that she wasn’t even supposed to audition initially. She had accompanied a friend who needed someone to fill in for an audition, with no intention of becoming a trainee herself. However, fate had other plans.

“A friend asked me for a favor. There was this audition, and they were short one person, so they asked if I could just fill it. I had no idea what I was doing or what was expected of me. They said they just needed someone to make up the numbers, so I went.”

A Surprising Start to a Prolific Career

Hyeri’s story is a testament to how unexpected opportunities can change lives. She shared that after filling in for the audition, she unexpectedly got cast, and her life took a dramatic turn.

“I just got really lucky,” she explained. “Girl’s Day was already preparing for an album, so they needed to bring me in quickly…I auditioned around July or August…and debuted in October.”

Despite her young age, Hyeri quickly adapted to the demanding life of a K-Pop idol. Reflecting on her early years, she mentioned that she once believed becoming a star required something extraordinary, something she thought she lacked. But her summer break proved otherwise, propelling her into a successful career as both an idol and an actress.

From Summer Break to Stardom

Hyeri’s experience serves as an inspiring reminder that sometimes, the most life-changing moments come when you least expect them. Her impromptu decision to help a friend led to an audition that kickstarted her journey in the entertainment industry, proving that sometimes, all it takes is being in the right place at the right time.
