Career

Perspective
Pre-debut activities
Before debuting as a singer, Dasom had entered and won various poem and song-writing contests.[1] Since childhood, Dasom had dreamed of becoming an actress. She shared that she grew up watching classic movies and, during her second year of middle school, would watch two films a day during her vacations. She was particularly captivated by the works of directors like Hitchcock, Kubrick, and Luc Besson.[2]
Dasom naturally thought that she wanted to act. This led her to enroll in the acting department at Anyang Arts High School while misleading her parents about attending an English academy. During that time, she was approached by a scout to debut in their company; however, her parents recommended that she audition for a bigger agency. She was then taken in by her brother and auditioned at JYP Entertainment, where she eventually passed and started her training career. Later on, she moved to Cube Entertainment but, by chance, auditioned at Starship Entertainment as an actress but was eventually offered a spot in Sistar. She mentioned that she regretted missing a lot of her school days due to debuting while still in high school, but she also felt fulfilled for having achieved her dream.[3]
2010: Debut with Sistar
In June 2010, Kim made her debut as a member of Sistar on KBS Music Bank with their debut single, "Push Push".[4]
