Career
2012–2019: Debut with Hello Venus
Song debuted as a member and leader of Hello Venus on May 9, 2012.[1] The girl group, formed through a joint venture between Pledis Entertainment and Fantagio, released material through 2019, when the group disbanded after its members' contracts expired.[1]
Beyond her group activities, Song expanded into acting and musical theatre starting in 2014, appearing in the MBC dramas The Night Watchman's Journal and The Single Woman with a Cunning Heart, the web drama After School: Luck or Not 2, and the KBS2 drama Strange Daughter-in-law, and by 2016 had taken roles in stage musicals including All Shook Up, Nonsense 2, and Cheongchun Ilbal Jangjeon, later starring in A Better Tomorrow (musical).[5] In 2015, she made a special appearance in the SBS drama To Be Continued, portraying a member of a fictional girl group.[6]

On January 3, 2018, Song released her first personal digital single as a soloist, "Twenty-something" ("재미없을 나이"), under her birth name, as part of Fantagio Music's FM201.8 digital-single project.[2][3]
2020–present: Continued acting roles and solo music
On April 9, 2020, Song signed an exclusive contract with Kingsland Company to focus on her acting career, and began crediting her acting work to her birth name, Song Joo-hee, rather than her stage name.[4][7] On September 3, 2021, she signed with the music agency Pop Music (later A2Z Entertainment) and released a string of solo singles, including "Eventually", "Secret", and "I Love You".[8]
On May 10, 2022, to mark the tenth anniversary of both her own debut and Hello Venus's debut, Song released the single "Drive Away".[9] On July 5, 2022, she made a special guest appearance, credited under her birth name, in the KBS2 drama Minamdang: Boy Who Reads Minds ("미남당").[10]
