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.
