TWICE‘s Jihyo has revealed the reason she left SM Entertainment.
On July 31, Jihyo appeared on Girls’ Generation Hyoyeon‘s show. As the previous teaser teased, she explained that they had actually met before because…
Before she joined JYP, she was actually a trainee at SM Entertainment for a year, and it was the first time she revealed it.
Jihyo shared some adorable anecdotes about how the Girls’ Generation members treated her, whether it was calling her cute…
Or comparing her head size to a CD because she was so young, but she couldn’t remember exactly who said it because she was only 8 years old.
When Hyoyeon asked why she left, Jihyo revealed that the person who cast her at SM Entertainment had moved to JYP, and she went with them.
Hyoyeon joked that if Jihyo had stayed, she might have been part of Girls’ Generation. Even though Jihyo thought she would’ve been too young, Hyoyeon explained that her experience might have got her into the group.
It seems crazy to think of a time that Jihyo might not have debuted in TWICE.
