Information
Raised in America, Isak moved to Korea in the eighth grade. There, she debuted with the group Isak N Jiyeon in September 2002. During this time, she attended Korea Kent Foreign School.
After Isak N Jiyeon's first album, the duo also participated in SM Town's seasonal summer and winter albums. During these, however, Isak would sometimes be missing from songs and music videos, causing speculation that she had left Korea and/or SM Entertainment.
With Jiyeon currently participating in Chun Sang Ji Hee, it seems likely that Isak N Jiyeon will not reunite. However, Isak is still with SM Entertainment. She was recently at the SM Entertainment 10th Anniversary Party on February 15, 2006 and also participated in the '06 SUMMER SMTOWN album.
As of 2007, Isak is the VJ for Arirang TV's daily music program, Pops In Seoul.
