Similarly, Rocket Punch’s Dahyun, who is the same age, discussed the importance of developing her skills. In an interview with AllKpop, the singer shared her vision regarding her K-pop career.
“I focus on developing my skills. As I focus on that, having good teamwork and self-confidence naturally follows. And I am sure many people will know about it,” the member revealed.
With a new beginning ushering in, K-pop fans can’t wait to watch what Dahyun and Junghwan do next in their blooming music career.
