She placed third overall with 71,037 votes, making her a member of fromis_9. She was chosen as the captain of the group (term used for leader) for her age and experience in the industry.

Saerom debuted as the captain of fromis_9 on January 24, 2018 with the mini album To. Heart. The group later released a second mini album titled To.

During this time Saerom was featured in a Flaylist performance along fellow member Seoyeon, where the two of them performed choreography to Lee Gi-kwang's Dream.
