As influenced by her mother who was a ballerina, Mina started learning ballet, piano & violin at a young age. She lived in South Korea until she was 3 years old, and after that spent her childhood visiting South Korea, Japan and the USA. She entered a Japanese elementary school, but was bullied for not being fluent in Japanese. In elementary school she started writing lyrics, and in high school she started composing seriously.
Initially, she dreamed about working in South Korea, but ended up staying and working in Japan since her Japanese rapper friends did not want her to leave. She applied for the 9th tournament of "BAZOOKA!!! High School Student RAP Championship" (BAZOOKA!!! 高校生RAP選手権), where high school students compete at freestyle rapping. She ended up losing on the 2nd round.
On April 18th, 2016, she released her debut single "Mirror", which topped the iTunes Store hip-hop ranking. On August 31st on the same year, she announced her second single "Princess".
