On August 21st, Kangnam uploaded to his Youtube channel "Kangnami" a new video titled "I made a super-large crepe cake with TWICE Jihyo".
On this day, Jihyo introduced herself as "Twice Jihyo, who is newly debuting in her 9th year". After releasing his first solo album 'ZONE' with the title song 'Killin' Me Good'. The singer said, "The new song means 'I like you so much.' It's a cute summery song."
Regarding the process of preparing for a solo album, Jihyo confessed, "It was so hard that I even thought of running away for the first time since my debut. The recording was not easy. At first, I was very ambitious so I said I would do even the chorus, but later on, I just gave up."
She started her career in a talent contest for kids. "I think my mom wanted to be a celebrity when I was young. My mother told me to apply, and I ranked second place. At the time, a JYP entertainment official cast me."
She continued, "The current JYP staff who cast me was at a different company at that time. I spent a year training at that company then moved to JYP together with the staff and we've been together until now."
Kangnam was surprised when Jihyo revealed, "Actually I was a trainee for 11 years," saying "How did you never run away?" Jihyo confessed, "I ran away once," adding "I was a high school senior back then. I went to my aunt's house and got caught right away. It was right before my debut, but I thought it wouldn't go well. I think I almost got into big trouble."
