Wow. I guess I thought JYP by name was around from 1st gen...

JustinJihyo

Yes, I'm not entirely sure how soon but absolutely I will :)

So Jihyo joined JYP in in 2005 at 8 years old. JYPE was known as Tae-Hong Planning Corporation until 2001 when it became JYP, with the founder being JYP. Now we don't know if the trainees at the time still considered the company by the former name. Only those in the company at the time can say. Now if Sunmi ever said the same thing as Jihyo, then that must have been the case, since they joined at the same time.

Another thing, she was actually 8 when she became a trainee. In this video, she is going by the Korean Age System which made her 9.

S. Korea Law changed the Age System to the International System on June 27 or 28, 2023. So it hasn't been long. I guess it will take longer for older people to get used to it.

Are you going to react to the jihyo and sejeong jeju trip?

JustinJihyo

That's really funny, I didn't know about that haha.

JustinJihyo

Wow didn't know this, I heard about Junior Naver but I'm not sure it was Jihyo that I'd heard was participating in that, maybe I'm thinking of Nayeon? Can't remember...

Jihyo had participated in a competition on Junior Naver for a child role and was signed thru a different company/label. She was then scouted by JYP Entertainment, and began traineeship with them when she was around 8 or 9.

Yeah, this was around "Alcohol Free" era and this was shot a few months before their Anniversary where she was teased by the members on their V-Live coz this as the show were a Twice member was "For the first time" filmed "drinking" 😆😆😆
