In 2018, Huh participated in the South Korean survival show Produce 48 by Mnet, representing Pledis Entertainment.[1] She was eliminated before the show's finale, ranking 26th.[4]

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.[5] On March 14, 2022, Source Music announced the launch of a new girl group, Le Sserafim, in collaboration with Hybe Corporation.[6][7] She was revealed as the sixth and final member on April 9, 2022.[8] 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".[9] On August 9, 2022, Huh released her first single "Raise Y_our Glass" to commemorate the 100th day of her debut with Le Sserafim.[10] 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.[11]

Huh released her second single "I ≠ Doll" on January 9, 2023.[12] 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.[13][12] The title refers to both the words "idol" and "doll".[12] Illustrated by Huh, its accompanying music video depicts her journey as a public figure "navigating the attention and criticism she receives".[14][13] Regarding the video's main animated character, Huh said "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."[15] 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".[16]
