Before debuting, she worked as a model and appeared in the music video of Infinite's "Paradise." The group released a pre-debut song with IU titled "Sea of Moonlight" that entered the Top-10 of the Gaon Digital Chart.
She made her debut in August 2012 as the group's leader, vocalist and visual with the single album "Vista." Less than one year later, she made her acting debut in the drama “Bel Ami.”
The group faced mixed reviews in their following releases, and in May 2018, Kakao M (카카오M, formerly known as LOEN Entertainment) announced that 4 members decided not to renew their contracts and, as a result, FIESTAR disbanded.
She returned to modeling and played some minor roles in TV dramas.
In August 2024, Cao Lu revealed the group had been reformed after she financed the reunion thanks to her earnings as a streamer in China. She also bought the rights to one of their most popular singles, "You're Pitiful". They re-debuted as an independent group but are looking for an agency and a manager.
