Career Beginnings
Elisia's career took a significant turn when she participated in the survival show Universe Ticket in 2023. During the pre-voting phase, she was ranked 11th among the 82 contestants.
Her exceptional performance and charisma on stage did not go unnoticed, as it was announced during the ninth episode that she ranked first overall among all the aspirants. This earns her a sure spot in the group PRISM.
For context, PRISM has a hierarchical system, with P being the highest rank and M the lowest.
Elisia started her journey with an M ranking. She was promoted to I ranking after the first PRISM promotion. She was then promoted from I to P ranking during the second round of promotion.
In essence, this makes her the first-ever confirmed member of the debut lineup from Universe Ticket.
The specific promotional path within the PRISM girl group and other similar K-pop groups typically involves a combination of training, performance evaluations, and public exposure.
Promotion typically means advancing in terms of responsibilities, group hierarchy, and sometimes transitioning through different stages of a trainee's career up to being an official group member.
Promotions can be influenced by a variety of other factors including media portrayal, marketing decisions, fan engagement, and overall strategy of the entertainment company managing the group.
The details of such promotions are usually managed internally and might only be partially visible to the public through the group's promotional activities and announcements.
Artistic Influences
In her covers and performances, Elisia draws inspiration from various artists and genres. In effect, this creates a unique blend that resonates with her audience.
To date, she has two cover performances on her YouTube channel. One of the two covers is the song "Ligaya" by Eraserheads. The other one is "First Burn" from the hit musical Hamilton.
Personal Growth
Aside from singing and dancing, Elisia is committed to personal development, as seen in her participation in taekwondo and other activities that foster discipline and camaraderie.
