“At the moment, I am studying at a medical college. Since a young age, I have been passionate about singing and dancing, and now I perform on the stages of Tokmok. Thanks to my passion for dance, I have fulfilled a childhood dream and have been running my own dance studio for three years,” Kulpunay shared.

Regarding her name, Kulpunay said:

“My name is indeed unusual and rarely encountered. My father named me Kulpunay with the wish that I would be ‘sweet and prosperous like a strawberry.’ Some people cannot pronounce it correctly and call me Cholponay, while others jokingly refer to me as ‘Raspberry.’
