Life and career[]
Early life[]
As a child, Nayeon participated in a modeling contest and was cast by JYP Entertainment (JYPE). Although her mother initially prevented her from entering show business given her young age,[2][3] Nayeon secretly attended the agency's open audition on September 15, 2010, after which she became a trainee.[4][5][6] In 2013, she was added to the lineup of 6mix, a planned JYPE girl group that never debuted.[7][8][9] She also made an appearance in the second episode of the 2012 television series Dream High 2.[10]
2015–present: Sixteen, Twice and solo debut[]
In 2015, Nayeon participated in the reality television show Sixteen, a competition to determine the members of a new JYP Entertainment girl group called Twice.[11][7][12] As one of the nine successful participants, she made the final lineup.[11] In October, Nayeon officially debuted as a member of Twice with the release of their first extended play (EP), The Story Begins.[13] In Gallup Korea's annual music poll for 2017, she was voted the sixth most popular idol in South Korea.[3][14][15] In the 2018 poll, she again ranked sixth, receiving 6.7% of the votes.[3][16][17] In 2019, she placed fifth, receiving 8.2% of the votes,[3][18][19] and ranked as the eighth most popular female K-pop idol in a survey of soldiers completing mandatory military service in South Korea.[20]
On May 19, 2022, it was announced that Nayeon will debut as a solo artist on June 24 with her EP Im Nayeon.[21] On July 10, 2022, Nayeon earned her first ever music show win on SBS Inkigayo.[22]

Fashion and endorsements[]
Aside from various endorsements with her Twice bandmates, Nayeon has promoted various products and featured in numerous advertisements.

Nayeon has also appeared in magazines including Nylon Korea,[30] Cosmopolitan Korea,[31] W Korea,[32] and Elle Korea[33] for fashion brands such as Ralph Lauren,[34] Jill Stuart,[35] Fendi,[36] and Louis Vuitton.[37] She featured in the April 2022 issue of Harper's Bazaar Korea for Chaumet's Josephine collection.
