Solo career and further singles (2001–2006)

She debuted in 2001 with the album Voice of Purity under the stage name "Sky." She was 14 years old at the time under East Asian age reckoning.

In 2006 she announced she would join the Hip-Hop Dance group Roo'ra, although she withdrew in 2007 before releasing any new material. The announcement was made at the same time as Roo'ra's announcement of their comeback with a 'best of' album, hence she is credited on the album although she didn't participate on it.

In 2009 she joined the group MADmoiselle, which released one digital single before disbanding.
