Life and career

Early life

Jihyo was born on February 1, 1997, in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea as Park Ji-soo.[1][2][3] Her younger sister, Lee Ha-eum (born Park Ji-young) has been modeling and debuting as a rookie actress.[4]

Pre-debut

JYP Entertainment scouted Jihyo after she placed second in a contest on Junior Naver.[5] She joined the company at the age of eight and trained for ten years,[6][7][8] during which she became the face of Innisfree's teen line with boy band Boyfriend[5] 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.[5][9] Instead, she joined the reality television show Sixteen, a competition to select the founding members of Twice.[10][11] She legally changed her name to Jihyo before the competition.[5] As one of nine successful participants, she went on to join the newly formed girl group Twice.[6] Jihyo was voted by her bandmates as leader in an anonymous vote.[5][6][7]
