Jihyo joined JYP Entertainment as a trainee at the age of eight and trained for ten years before her debut.[4][6] JYP Entertainment had scouted Jihyo after she participated in a contest on Junior Naver and placed second.[4] Jihyo spent ten years as a trainee before debuting with Twice in 2015.[1][4] During her trainee years, Jihyo was known as the face of Innisfree's teen line with boy band Boyfriend. She trained with many JYP idols including Sunmi, Bae Suzy, Jo Kwon, and Nichkhun.[4] Jihyo was set to debut in a girl group along with Nayeon, Jeongyeon and Sana, but the project was cancelled.[4] Instead, they all joined the reality television show Sixteen, a competition designed to choose the founding members of Twice.[9] Jihyo legally changed her name to Park Ji-hyo before the competition.[4] As one of nine successful participants, she went on to join the newly-formed girl group Twice.[1] In October 2015, Twice officially debuted with the release of their first mini-album, The Story Begins.[10] The lead single "Like Ooh-Ahh" was the first K-pop debut song to reach 100 million views on YouTube.[11] Though not the oldest member of the group, Jihyo was voted by her bandmates as their leader.[4]

Personal life

In August 2019, the agencies representing Jihyo and Kang Daniel, a former member of Wanna One, confirmed that they had been dating.[12][13][14][15] After the news broke, Jihyo and Kang topped Twitter's trends list in the Philippines.[14][16] They were described as a new "power couple" of K-pop by the media.[12][17]
