Jihyo debuted as the leader of the KPOP girl group TWICE, alongside other members, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu.

Meet South Korea's Girl Group TWICE

Like another superstar KPOP girl group, BLACKPINK, TWICE is well-known and loved within the KPOP fan community.

Since their debut, they have enjoyed much success both as a group and as soloists.

However, they are yet to actually penetrate mainstream music in countries outside South Korea, but any KPOP fan knows the group's singles like "Fancy," "What Is Love?" "Likey," "Cheer Up," and more.

According to reports, despite not being as well known as other KPOP groups, TWICE is a giant in the genre by their own right.

In fact, the group just hit 500 million views in their "I Can't Stop Me" music video.

The song was released in October 2020, and is considered as one of the group's biggest releases.

TWICE is currently on a short break from their "Ready to Be" world tour. The group has held shows in several cities across the United States back in June, including Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Atlanta, and more.

They will be picking up the rest of the tour in September in Singapore, the United Kingdom, France, Berlin, and other European stops, possibly to give Jihyo time to promote her upcoming album, and for the members to rest.
