In March 2018, Gowon featured on the song Rosy on Loona member Olivia Hye's solo debut album.

On April 26, Blockberry Creative announced the impending debut of Loona's next unit, Loona yyxy, including Gowon and her fellow members Yves, Chuu and Olivia Hye. The group released their EP Beauty & the Beat and it's lead single love4eva, featuring Canadian singer Grimes, on May 30. Gowon officially debuted with Loona as a full group on August 20, 2018 with the release of their debut EP [ + + ].

On November 28, 2022, JTBC Entertainment News reported that nine members of Loona, including Gowon, had filed an application for a provisional injunction to suspend their exclusive contract with Blockberry Creative, following member Chuu's expulsion three days earlier.
