She won her first ITF Circuit title in Bundaberg, Australia on 30 March 2013, winning the doubles tournament alongside Lee So-ra. The pair defeated Miki Miyamura and Varatchaya Wongteanchai in the final in a close three-setter.

Her most successful performance to date came at the 2013 Korea Open, where she reached the quarterfinals with a three-set win over Ons Jabeur.

She qualified into the singles main draw of the 2022 Australian Open for her major debut. She became the eighth South Korean woman to contest a Grand Slam main draw in the Open Era, and fourth this century following Cho Yoon-jeong, Jeon Mi-ra and Han Na-lae.^[1]

She won her first WTA Challenger title at the 2022 Swedish Open where she defeated Rebeka Masarova in the final.^[2]
