Han Groo 's father is a TV commercial director and her mother used to be a professional model , which made her familiar with and naturally drawn to show business from a very early age . Upon her return to Korea , the aspiring actress signed with the management agency Climix Academy . But at her agency 's suggestion , she launched a singing career in 2011 with the EP '' GROO ONE '' , followed by the single '' My Boy '' . She was nominated as Best New Female Artist at the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards . Han Groo later admitted that acting was her real passion from the beginning , but she had wanted to grab whatever opportunities available to her . However , she found it difficult to stand out as a singer given the huge level of competition in Korea 's music industry , especially among girl groups riding the coattails of the K-pop revolution
