Introducing our May print cover starring Jihyo of JYPETWICE! On stage, she is the leader of TWICE, a 9-member K-Pop girl group. Outside the public eye, she drops that mantle and takes time for herself. Her favorite pastime: League of Legends:
AT 23, SHE'S ALREADY BEEN PART OF THE K-POP WORLD FOR OVER A DECADE. JIHYO SHARES THE TRIUMPHS AND CHALLENGES THAT COME WITH A LIFE OF IDOLDOM.When Jihyo gets home after completing yet another grueling day of being Jihyo — international pop superstar and main vocalist of South Korea's best-selling girl group, TWICE — she changes into her coziest pajamas, ties her hair up, slips on her wire-frame, blue-light-protection glasses, and delves into the world of League of Legends.
Trainees, for those unfamiliar, are adolescents signed to a company in hopes of one day being picked for a K-pop group or solo debut. While they wait to be chosen, they sharpen their pop-star skills every day after school. Jihyo, of all theTWICE's songs, which lease a spot in your brain as soon as you hear them, instantly started breaking global records not only in Korea but also on YouTube.
Born Park Ji Soo in Guri, a city half an hour's drive from Seoul, Jihyo had never taken singing or dance lessons before she became a trainee at eight years old . Instead, she spent her pre-fame years hiking up Achasan, a nearby mountain, with her fitness-focused parents. If Jihyo is tired after a long day of shooting, I can't tell. Her voice is consistently lined with the same animated, melodic bubbliness of a TWICE song. She sounds just as bouncy when she nonchalantly discloses that she's been on a strict diet for most of her life:"I almost starved myself."Jihyo notices my eyes widen at least two centimeters and quickly clarifies:"I didn't really starve myself, [but] I had a hard time staying at a certain weight.
