Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Jihyo was born on February 1, 1997, in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, as Park Ji-soo.[1][2][3] Her younger sister, Park Ji-young, better known by her stage name Lee Ha-eum (ko), is an actress and model.[4] She graduated[when?] from Chungdam High School.[5]

Career

[edit | edit source]

2005–2015: Pre-debut activities

[edit | edit source]

SM Entertainment scouted Jihyo after she placed second in a child star contest on Junior Naver.[6] After a year of training at SM Entertainment, the employee who scouted her transferred to JYP Entertainment, and Jihyo followed suit.[7] She joined JYP Entertainment in 2005 at the age of eight and trained for ten years,[8][9] 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.

In 2014, Jihyo was set to debut in a six-member girl group called 6Mix with now-Twice members Nayeon, Jeongyeon and Sana, but the project was cancelled when two members left JYP Entertainment.[1][3][10] The following year, she joined the reality television show Sixteen, a competition to select the founding members of Twice.[11][12] She legally changed her name to Park Ji-hyo before the competition.[3][13][1] As one of nine successful participants, she went on to join the newly formed girl group Twice, and was voted by her bandmates as leader in an anonymous vote.[1][8]

In June 2023, it was announced that Jihyo would release her first EP, Zone, on August 18, with "Killin' Me Good" serving as the lead single,[19][20] marking the second member of Twice to make a solo debut.[21] Before this announcement, Jihyo performed an unreleased track from the EP, "Nightmare", on Twice's Ready to Be World Tour.[22][23] The EP served as an R&B record that incorporates multiple genres.[24] It went on to sell over half a million copies in the first week.[25] On August 25, she achieved her first music show win as a soloist on KBS2's Music Bank.[26] Jihyo appeared in several episodes of the variety show I Live Alone in 2023, which earned her a Rookie Award nomination at the 2023 MBC Entertainment Awards.[27] She was also nominated for Best Dance Performance (Female Solo) and Best Female Artist at the 2023 MAMA Awards.[28]

On June 20, 2025, Jihyo along with fellow members Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung released "Takedown", the lead single of the Netflix animated musical fantasy film KPop Demon Hunters.
