Career
edit2005–2014: Pre-debut activities
editJYP Entertainment scouted Jihyo after she placed second in a contest on Junior Naver.[1] She joined the company at the age of eight and trained for ten years,[5][6][7] during which she became the face of Innisfree's teen line with boy band Boyfriend,[1] and trained with K-pop acts such as Wonder Girls' Sunmi and Hyerim, Bae Suzy, Jo Kwon, and Nichkhun.
Jihyo was set to debut in a girl group with now-Twice members Nayeon, Jeongyeon and Sana, although the project was cancelled.[1][3]
Instead, she joined the reality television show Sixteen, a competition to select the founding members of Twice.[8][9] She legally changed her name to Jihyo before the competition.[1] As one of nine successful participants, she went on to join the newly formed girl group Twice.[5]
Jihyo was voted by her bandmates as leader in an anonymous vote.[1][5][6]
2015–present: Debut with Twice and solo activities
editIn October 2015, Twice officially debuted with the release of their first extended play (EP), The Story Begins.[10] Its lead single "Like Ooh-Ahh" became the first K-pop debut song to reach 100 million views on YouTube.[11]
On March 6, 2022, Jihyo released her first song for a soundtrack, "Stardust Love Song" for tvN's Twenty-Five Twenty-One.[12] She released her second soundtrack song titled "I Fly" for SBS's Today's Webtoon on July 29.[13] On November 14, she released her third soundtrack track "A Strange Day" for the Genie TV and ENA series Summer Strike.[14]
In January 2023, Jihyo was announced as the brand model for South Korean cosmetics brand Milk Touch.[15] In June 2023, it was announced that Jihyo would release her first EP, Zone, on August 18, 2023, with "Killin' Me Good" serving as the lead single,[16][17] becoming the second member of Twice to make a solo debut.[18] Prior to this announcement, Jihyo performed an unreleased track from the EP, "Nightmare", on Twice's Ready to Be World Tour.[19][20] The EP served as an R&B record that incorporate multiple genres.[21] It went to sell over half million copies sold in the first week.[22] On August 25, she achieved her first music show win as a soloist on KBS2's Music Bank.[23]
Public image
editOn the Korean Business Research Institute's monthly "Individual Girl Group Members Brand Power Ranking" Jihyo placed second and third on the November 2018 and May 2019 search.[24][25]
Jihyo has drawn attention for her key role as both the leader and vocalist of Twice, with critics describing her as a "powerhouse vocalist" and praising her "impressive vocal range".[26][27][28][29]
