About Onda

Background

Onda (온다), born Jo Serim (조세림) on May 18, 2000, is a South Korean singer and dancer best known as a member of the K-pop girl group EVERGLOW (에버글로우). Born in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, Onda developed an interest in music and performing at a young age. Before her idol debut, she studied piano, participated in dance activities and competed on Mnet's survival program Idol School in 2017. Appearing under her birth name, Jo Serim, she finished in 40th place and was eliminated during the fourth episode. Although she did not debut through the competition, the experience helped prepare her for a professional career in K-pop.

Onda officially debuted with EVERGLOW on March 18, 2019, through the single album Arrival of Everglow and its title track "Bon Bon Chocolat." Known for her bright smile, expressive dancing and playful personality, she became one of the group's recognizable performers. Her stage name, Onda, means "come" or "come to me" in Korean, reflecting her approachable image. After EVERGLOW concluded its activities under Yuehua Entertainment in 2025, Onda joined CHXXTA Company alongside E, Sihyeon and Aisha. The four members continued promoting as EVERGLOW and released their fourth mini album, CODE, on March 3, 2026. Onda also participated in the group's 2026 RE world tour, continuing her career more than seven years after her original debut.
