Early life

When Sorn was a child, her mother allowed her to have vocal lessons to achieve her goal of becoming a singer.[5] She also came from a fortunate background, as her father, Wanasthana Sajakul, works for the Prime Minister of Thailand[6] and her brother Teerapat Sajakul is also a singer. In 2011, she competed in tvN's K-Pop Star Hunt and was named winner of the first season.[7]

In 2013, Sorn appeared in the documentary, Seoul: Capital of K-Pop (Inside K-Pop) where she talked about her trainee life and what it involved and appeared in a documentary which was focused on her future bandmate, Oh Seung-hee. She also did a collaboration song with G.NA called "Because You Are The One," sung in English.
