Ahn joined DIA in 2017, two years after the group’s debut as a new member After leaving the group and parting ways with Pocketdol Studio, she has been actively pursuing a career in online streaming and variety TV shows.
During an interview with “Attack on Sisters” in 2023, she revealed the reason for being a BJ was due to financial struggles.
