In an endeavor to broaden her horizons, Seung-yeon moved to the United States to study at Tenafly High School in New Jersey. However, her passion for singing motivated her to take a bold step of withdrawing from high school mid-course to focus on her music career.

Ever since, she has been famed as an essential part of the band, adding to its unique sound and style.

Post KARA, Seung-yeon has been involved in various other projects, including co-hosting "Boys and Girls Music Countdown" with Kim Soo-hyun, featuring on rapper Nassun's single "Come to Play", and joining "Dream Team Girl Group" named 4Tomorrow for Samsung's campaign.

In 2012, she ventured further into her musical abilities by releasing her first solo single "Guilty". Seung-yeon's multi-faceted career and dedication to her craft make her a notable alumna of Tenafly High School in New Jersey.
