At the age of 14, she applied to be a trainee at JYP Entertainment and was selected after two rounds of auditions. She started out as a vocalist, but soon after, she began learning rap.
She participated in the reality television series ‘Sixteen’ in 2015. As one of the nine winners, she then joined the brand-new female band ‘TWICE’. On October 20, 2015, ‘TWICE’ released their first extended play, ‘The Story Begins,’ marking their formal debut.

Impact & Influence
Her desire for authenticity fuels her career as an idol. She admitted to ‘GQ Korea’ that she may not be the most attractive person, but she doubts the necessity of hiding her true appearance.
Some of her lyrical work with TWICE, such as ‘Young and Wild’ from the group’s 2018 EP ‘Yes or Yes’ and ‘Strawberry’ from the EP ‘Fancy You’, which was published in 2019, highlight her desire to be free and express oneself.
She doesn’t generally behave like an idol off the stage, but at ‘Cannes’ she adopted American actress Kristen Stewart’s short hairstyle and strolled barefoot down the red carpet. She also refuses to wear a mask while she is out alone, despite the fact that Korean celebrities typically do so to avoid being recognised.
In an interview, she said that, “I don’t think I’m a celebrity, and I need to go out and move around. I should be comfortable and not be bothered by the gaze of others”.
