Personality: The easiest way to explain Moon is unique. She's extremely curious and always eager to try something new. She enjoys finding adventure in everything and once she takes an extreme interest in something, there is no way to get her attention away from it. She excels in a wide variety of things but never lets her skills get her head and remains humble. Moon is adaptable and never lets small things get in the way of her goals. She is spontaneous and loves the unknown, making her extremely tolerant and open-minded. She does have a habit of living with her head in the clouds and isn't the best at long-term planning but is trying her best to change that. Moon is extremely warm-hearted and caring, loving opening up to those around her but only when she's a hundred percent sure of the person. She has a lot of introverted tendencies and will disappear for a day or two after a major social event but when she returns, it will be like she never left. She is good at picking up on unspoken feelings and if she feels like you don't care for her, that will be the last time that you hear from her.

Background: Moon was born in Hua Hin, Thailand to a middle-class family. Despite having all she needed growing up, she saw how hard her parents worked to provide for her and her siblings. From a young age, Moon was determined to make enough money to help her parents retire early.

That's how she ended up joining JYP in 2009; at 10 years old, Moon left the comfort of her home with the hopes of debuting young and making money as soon as possible.

Her first opportunity came in 2015 when she participated in Sixteen. At first, most popular, gaining a lot of attention for her looks. With her skill, looks, and background, she had won over a majority of the viewers. Moon likes to blame panic voting for why she didn't make Twice, coming in 8th place.

When JYP announced that he was going to make the group 9 members, she was sure that one of the spots would be hers but unfortunately, with Chaeyoung and Dahyun in the group, she wasn't needed.

Returning to training, Boone was hopeful that another trainee group would be formed but by the time it was time to re-sign, she couldn't bring herself to, leaving JYP in January of 2016.

That same month, she signed with Yuehua Entertainment, the company promising to add her to their upcoming group with Starship. Those plans fell through as soon as they came together, with Starship wanting the group to stay at 12 members.

Moon stayed with Yuehua, the company promising that they would be launching their own girl group soon. Given the first rejection wasn't Yuehua's fault, she decided to give the company a chance.

It would be another two years before having another chance. Everglow was everything that she wanted in a group; she loved the concept, her members, and their sound but right before it was time for the teasers to be filmed, Yuehua didn't want to proceed with 7 members and to them, Moon was the most disposable.

She promptly left Yuehua.

Unable to go home, Moon auditioned for S2 Entertainment. S2 Entertainment was her last chance; she couldn't bring herself to go through another rejection after this.

On April 28th, 2021, Moon debuted as the oldest member of Hot Issue. Three companies in 12 years later, she finally was able to make her debut. Everything was going really well, especially with how well their comeback song was received. Hot Issue was 2 weeks away from their first anniversary when their whole group and their manager were pulled into a meeting. Everyone was in high spirits, hoping that they would be receiving news of their comeback but they were wrong. S2 was broke and had nothing for the group to fall back on.

They had no choice but to disband.

Moon had no choice but to return home as a failure.

The day she was to return to Thailand, she received a call from Lay, asking her to audition for Nebula.
