Dahyun was born in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, on May 28, 1998.[1][2][3] She grew up with her parents and has an older brother.[3] At a young age, she began singing with her Christian church choir.[3] Dahyun first gained attention in sixth grade in elementary school with a dance at church called the "eagle dance," which was posted on YouTube.[2][4][5][6] Dahyun was recruited to become a trainee for JYP Entertainment after a talent scout saw her performance at a dance festival, and she subsequently trained with them for over three years.[1]

In 2015, Dahyun competed in Sixteen, a reality television show to determine the members of JYP Entertainment's new girl group.[6][7] One of the nine successful participants, Dahyun was subsequently selected to join Twice as a singer and rapper.[1][2][6] In October that year, she officially debuted with Twice with the release of their extended play (EP), The Story Begins, and the lead single "Like Ooh-Ahh".[8]

Dahyun graduated from Hanlim Multi Art School in 2017.[9] That year, in Gallup Korea's annual music poll, she was voted the seventeenth most popular idol in South Korea.[10][11]

In November 2018, Dahyun was criticized by right-wing Japanese lawmaker Masaru Onodera for wearing a T-shirt made by Marymond, an organization that raises funds to help comfort women who were victims of sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.[12] In the aftermath, The Korea Times criticized J. Y. Park, founder of JYP Entertainment, for failing to speak up in her defense.[13]

On May 4, 2024, it was announced that Dahyun would be making her acting debut in the independent film Run to You.[14][15] She was also cast in You Are the Apple of My Eye, a Korean remake of the 2011 Taiwanese film of the same name.[16] The film premiered at the 29th Busan International Film Festival in October 2024.[17] On September 10, Dahyun made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week, wearing the Michael Kors 2025 Spring/Summer collection.[18][19]

Endorsements

[edit]

In March 2021, Dahyun and bandmate Sana were selected as the models for skincare brand A'pieu.[20] In April 2022, Dahyun renewed her contract with A'pieu until 2024.[21] In July 2023, Dahyun was named global ambassador for American fashion brand Michael Kors.[22]
