Growing up in a small port city of Masan in the south East of Korea, Hyuna was first immersed in music from a young age. “I grew up around my mothers music school so I would have to say she is my main influence! I started with classical then started improvising. It was until after graduating from high school that I got to hear jazz”.
Hyuna knew from this point forward that she wanted to study jazz so she decided to move to New York.
