She debuted in May 2016 as I.O.I's lead dancer, vocalist and rapper with their first EP, "Chrysalis", and actively promoted as a whole group and as separate sub-units for less than a year before YMC Entertainment (YMC엔터테인먼트) and Swing Entertainment (스윙엔터테인먼트) announced their disbandment in January 2017. Around the same time, she debuted in June 2016 as GUGUDAN's main rapper, main dancer and vocalist with their first mini-album, "Act 1. The Little Mermaid". After some initial success, the group began struggling to find promotional activities, and new releases were not as frequent. Jellyfish Entertainment (젤리피쉬엔터테인먼트) decided to put the full group on hiatus. In August 2017, she joined a newly created sub-unit called GUGUDAN 5959 (구구단 오구오구; spelled as OGUOGU) and released their first single, "Ice Chu". However, the unit became inactive when Jo Hye Yeon left the group in October 2018. She made her acting debut in October 2017 with a role in the MBC drama "20th Century Boy and Girl". In December 2020, after two years of no activity, Jellyfish announced that GUGUDAN had officially disbanded. She decided to continue her acting career and is represented by Story Company (스토리제이컴퍼니).
