Biography[]

Main articles: Sixteen (TV series) and Twice

Dahyun was born in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, on May 28, 1998.[1][2][3] She grew up with her parents and she has an older brother.[3] At a young age, she started singing with her Christian church choir.[3] Dahyun first attracted attention as a sixth-grader in elementary school with a dance at church named the "eagle dance" which was posted on YouTube.[2][4][5][6] Dahyun was recruited to become a trainee for JYP Entertainment after a talent scout saw her performance at a dance festival, and she subsequently trained with them for over three years.[1]

In 2015, Dahyun competed in Sixteen, a reality television show created to select the members of JYP Entertainment's new girl group.[6][7] Dahyun was subsequently selected to join Twice, as one of the nine successful participants in the competition.[6] In October 2015, Twice officially debuted with the release of their first mini-album, The Story Begins and the lead track "Like Ooh-Ahh".[8] In addition to regular singing, Dahyun serves as one of Twice's rappers, along with fellow group member Chaeyoung.[1][2][6]

In Gallup Korea's annual music poll for 2017, Dahyun was voted as the seventeenth most popular idol in South Korea.[9][10]

Dahyun graduated from Hanlim Multi Art School in 2017.[11]

In November 2018, right-wing Japanese lawmaker Masaru Onodera criticized Dahyun for wearing a T-shirt made by Marymond, an organization that raises funds for helping comfort women, victims of sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.[12] In the aftermath, The Korea Times criticized J. Y. Park, the founder of JYP Entertainment, for failing to speak up in her defense.[13]
