Joye says: “My mum was with me on the day of the concert, and I turned to her and I said, ‘You’ll see me on stage in five years.’ Watching Taylor Swift perform and seeing the crowd cheer for her just sparked something in me.”
The student will likely relocate to Seoul in June. Her mother, Ms Milona Xia, admits she initially did not want to let Joye accept the offer.
The 37-year-old, who is the patron of a law foundation, says: “But Joye told me this is her dream, and she feels like even if she got her International Baccalaureate diploma and enrolled in an Ivy League university, that doesn’t mean she will necessarily enjoy a better future than if she took the risk of going to South Korea and becoming a trainee.”
Still, Ms Xia wants Joye to continue her education in South Korea, preferably at the prestigious Hanlim Arts School, which many K-pop idols such as Astro’s Cha Eun-woo and Twice’s Tzuyu used to attend.
