        With her skills, it would be easy for the idol to simply focus on her music career, releasing new albums and singles once ready. However, ever since her time as a member of Lovelyz, Kei has always been keen for a challenge, appearing on multiple competition programs throughout her career. While she possessed inherent talent and skill, her appearance on these shows allowed her to grow even more as an artist and showed audiences that she simply overflowed with talent.
