Career

Pre-debut

She joined JYP Entertainment after passing the sixth open audition on 1 March 2010.[citation needed] From 2013 to early 2015, it was expected that Jeongyeon would become a member of the new JYP girl group, 6mix, along with current Twice members Nayeon and Jihyo. However, this new project was cancelled and in the end they did not debut.[3][4]
