Lovelyz Kei will be part of a new world after leaving Woollim Entertainment and the girl group.
Outside Lovelyz, Kei proved she could help herself find a spot in the industry by joining several shows and launching music as a soloist. In fact, she immediately scored a gig one year after her debut as she was selected to sing Oh My Venus’s song, Love Is Like That, in 2015.
She also joined several competitions, like Girls Spirit and King of Mask Singer. Kei bloomed even more through her high-profile collaborations and solo releases.
As she is now free from her former agency, Kei will finally be able to pursue one career she always wanted – a musical singer.
