Huh Yun-jin was born on October 8, 2001, in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea but was raised in Niskayuna, New York, United States, going by the English name Jennifer Huh after moving there as a child. Huh was a student at Niskayuna High School. There, she pursued her passion for musical theatre and singing. Though not operatically trained, chorister Huh performed as a mezzo-soprano during her high school years. At age 16, she moved to South Korea to pursue a career as an idol, becoming a trainee in different companies. She transferred to the Applied Music Department of Hanlim Multi Art School on March 4, 2019. Huh moved back to the United States to apply for business school, but did not do so in order to prepare for her debut. Career

2018: Produce 48

In 2018, Huh participated in the South Korean survival show Produce 48 by Mnet, representing Pledis Entertainment. She was eliminated before the show's finale, ranking 26th. 2021–present: Debut with Le Sserafim and solo activities
On August 24, 2021, it was reported that Huh had signed a contract with Source Music. On March 14, 2022, Source Music announced the launch of a new girl group, Le Sserafim, in collaboration with Hybe Corporation. She was revealed as the sixth and final member on April 9, 2022. The group debuted with the extended play Fearless on May 2, 2022. Huh was credited for writing and composing the B-side track "Blue Flame". On August 9, 2022, Huh released her first single "Raise Y_our Glass" to commemorate the 100th day of her debut with Le Sserafim. Huh wrote three songs for Le Sserafim's second EP, Antifragile: "Impurities", "No Celestial" and "Good Parts (When the Quality Is Bad but I Am)". The EP was released on October 17, 2022. Huh released her second single "I ≠ Doll" on January 9, 2023. Written by Huh, the rock-influenced track featuring a trap beat describes her life as an idol who is judged solely based on her looks. The title refers to both the words "idol" and "doll". Illustrated by Huh, its accompanying music video depicts her journey as a public figure "navigating the attention and criticism she receives". Regarding the video's main animated character, Huh stated, "I wanted to make a character who is at heart multi-dimensional appear two-dimensional and flat on purpose. I thought it'd be interesting to portray a subject that is not so simple in a simple manner." Divyansha Dongre of Rolling Stone India called the song "a sharp critique of the complexities of constantly living in the spotlight and the judgment that follows". On March 14, 2023, Huh released her third self-composed song, titled "Love You Twice" (). The Korean title translates to "until it blooms", a reference to the Korean name of Le Sserafim's fandom Fearnot. Accompanying the indie pop single is a music video created by South Korean animator and artist Ramdaram, which depicts a fan who is inspired by an idol to take better care of herself and learn songwriting, before eventually fulfilling her own dream to perform on stage. Huh released her fourth single "Blessing in disguise" on August 14, 2023. Written and composed by Huh, the song was previously performed during the 2023 Weverse Con Festival last June. The funk track refers to Huh's journey to Korea, including her fears, excitement, and regrets, which have all been described in the lyrics. Endorsement
