When Nayeon was young, she entered a child model contest, which eventually led to her being cast by JYP Entertainment.[citation needed] In 2010, when she was about to go to a cram school to study for university entrance exams, she sneaked out of her house to try out for an open audition hosted by JYP, which she passed.[citation needed] She trained for around five years before she was chosen to debut in JYP's 6mix, but the group never quite got out of the planning stage.[citation needed]
