According to Cube Entertainment, Kwon was originally due to debut with CLC in 2015, but her debut was postponed after the release of the group's third EP was delayed. Due to Produce 101's contractual restrictions, she was unable to join the group to promote "High Heels" on music shows. The agency planned for Kwon to join promotions for "High Heels" if she was eliminated, or postpone her activities with CLC if she were to secure a top 11 ranking on Produce 101. On May 12, CLC opened their V Live channel, this was followed by a live broadcast with the whole group, including Kwon. She began full promotional activities as a member of the group with the release of Nu.Clear in May 2016.
