2017–2021: Debut with Loona

On November 14, 2017, Yves was revealed as the ninth member of the Korean idol girl group Loona.[1] As part of the group's pre-debut release strategy, on November 28, she released her self-titled single album containing two tracks, the single "New" and "D-1".[2] In December 2017, Yves participated on the song "The Carol 2.0" with Loona members ViVi and Choerry.[3] She also featured on the second track "Girl's Talk" on other Loona member Chuu's self-titled single album.[4]

Yves was introduced as part of Loona's third sub-unit Loona yyxy.[5] The sub-unit includes members Chuu, Go Won and HyeJu, and their EP, Beauty & the Beat, was released on May 30, 2018 and reached number 4 on the Gaon Album Chart.[6][7] She officially debuted with the whole group on August 20 with the EP [+ +], which peaked at number 2 on the Gaon Album Chart.[8][9]

On November 28, 2022, it was reported that Yves and all Loona members, except for HyunJin and ViVi, have filed a lawsuit to suspend their contracts with Blockberry Creative, citing a loss of trust in the company.
