Early life

Jeongyeon was born as Yoo Kyung-wan on 1 November 1996 in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.[1][2] She has two older sisters, one of whom is the actress Gong Seung-yeon.[1][3][4] Her father was a chef who worked for Kim Dae-jung, a past president of South Korea.[1][3] Jeongyeon took aerobics classes at a young age and soon developed an early interest in singing and dancing.[1]

Career

Pre-debut

Jeongyeon failed an audition to join JYP Entertainment as a child, but eventually joined after passing an open audition in March 2010.[1][3] She trained for five years before her debut with Twice.[5] From 2013 to early 2015, it was expected that Jeongyeon would become a member of a new JYP girl group alongside current Twice members Nayeon, Sana, and Jihyo.[1][6] However, this project was cancelled and in the end they did not debut.[1][6][7][8] In 2015, Jeongyeon competed in the television program Sixteen, a reality television competition designed to select the founding members of Twice.[5][9] In the final episode, she was chosen as one of the nine winners who went on to form Twice.[5][10]
