HyunA and Yu Seulki. | @yu__seulki/Instagram Seulki started dancing when she was just 3 or 4 years old! She loved following along with traditional dance she would see on TV, and began learning jazz and modern dance in high school. Following the recommendation of her college senior, Seulki joined the B-Boy crew T.I.P. and considered this as the start of her dance career.
| @yu__seulki/Instagram In one of her YouTube videos, Seulki shared her thoughts about being a dancer. She loves the supporting position, helping the leader, rather than being the leader. This brings her joy and she hopes that people see her as an impressive dancer and role model!
