After seeing the Whoopi Goldberg films Sister Act and its sequel Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit when she was eight years old, JYONGRI developed an interest in gospel. It wasn't until Jyongri was 11 when she decided to become a singer; she started writing her own lyrics at this age.

In the summer of 2005, JYONGRI traveled to Boston to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music for a five-week summer performance program. During this period JYONGRI started to write her own music. JYONGRI started working on her musical activities in June 2006 after graduating from Osaka Senri International School. In September a music video for a ballad titled Wherever started airing on music video channels, despite the fact that JYONGRI had not debuted yet. In October, JYONGRI enrolled in the famed Waseda University.
