She began her next season at the 2018 Grand Prix Moscow, finishing in the 15th place,[7] qualifying into the ball and hoop final.[8]
In 2019, she participated at the annual Aeon Cup in Tokyo along Lim Se-eun, and the junior gymnast Sohn Ji-in representing Sejong & Bongeun RG : they finished 6th in the qualification round.[9]
