Jihyo discussed her trainee days and how she almost didn't debut in TWICE because she ran away from her company!

Being an idol is a dream come true for most people but for Jihyo, it was an ambition that was almost too much. The TWICE leader has just revealed that she considered quitting when she was just a trainee. It was so bad that Park Ji Hyo actually ran away from her company!

Jihyo Opens Up About the Difficulties of Being a JYPE Trainee

During the August 21st episode of “Neighborhood Friend Kangnam,” Jihyo teamed up with the show’s host Kangnam to create a delectable crepe cake. Amid the culinary adventure, the TWICE member shared a captivating story from her trainee days, adding a personal touch to the episode.

“I actually used to be a pig,” she revealed. “I don’t worry about things like this. As long as it tastes good.”

The carefree attitude was something that Park Ji Hyo had for years before she became a trainee. “I was a trainee for 11 years,” she shared. The TWICE leader then admitted that there was a time that she tried to escape her own company.

“I ran away once because it was so hard. I ran away from home,” she shared. “When I was in my third year of high school, I ran away to my aunt’s house, but I got caught.”

Jihyo reflected on her actions and the difficult time she faced as an aspiring idol. “It was so hard right before our debut,” she said. “If I think about it now, I seriously could’ve messed things up.”

Luckily, things changed for the girl who was born Park Ji-soo. After she debuted with TWICE, things have been looking up for the former model.

In a June 2023 announcement, it was revealed that Jihyo was set to launch her debut EP, titled “Zone,” on August 18, 2023. The EP’s leading single, “Killin’ Me Good,” was disclosed as part of the announcement, marking Jihyo as the second member of TWICE to embark on a solo debut journey. Notably, before this official revelation, Jihyo had already treated fans to a sneak peek of her upcoming work by performing an unreleased track titled “Nightmare” during Twice’s “Ready to Be World Tour.”

TWICE Confirms Jihyo Solo Debut in August

Jihyo discussed her trainee days and how she almost didn't debut in TWICE because she ran away from her company!

It’s official: Jihyo is preparing for her solo debut! The TWICE leader will debut as a solo artist with ‘KILLIN’ ME GOOD’ in August. Park Ji Hyo will be the second member of TWICE to release a solo since Nayeon’s solo debut last year.

Jihyo’s Solo Debut ‘KILLIN’ ME GOOD’ Confirmed For August 2023

The official TWICE social media accounts shared the new teaser for ‘KILLIN’ ME GOOD’. This time, the poster features Jihyo applying lipstick in the rearview mirror of her car. The caption reads, “ZYO’s ZONE ‘Killin’ Me Good’ Coming Soon This August.”

This confirms all the fan theories about ‘KILLIN’ ME GOOD’ since the first teaser was dropped. Fans believed that the teaser is not for a TWICE comeback. Instead, ONCEs got excited about Jihyo’s possible solo debut. Luckily, the fans were right about their hopes.

Jihyo’s solo debut is not a huge surprise for ONCEs who have been attending TWICE’s Ready To Be World Tour. During their concerts, Jihyo had been performing a previously unreleased track “Nightmare”. There have been speculations that the song will be part of her upcoming solo debut.

Park Ji Hyo will be the second member of TWICE to debut as a solo artist. In May 2022, Nayeon announced the release of her first solo EP “Im Nayeon” which was released in June of that year. The mini-album was the first album by a South Korean soloist to reach the top ten on the US Billboard 200.

TWICE is currently on the North American leg of their Ready To Be World Tour which kicks off in Inglewood, California on June 10, 2023. The US leg will conclude in Atlanta, Georgia on July 9, giving Jihyo enough time to prepare for her solo debut.

Jihyo’s solo debut ‘KILLIN’ ME GOOD’ has not yet been given an official release date in August. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
