Life and career
Dahyun was born in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, on May 28, 1998.[1][2][3] She grew up with her parents and has an older brother.[3] At a young age, she began singing with her Christian church choir.[3] Dahyun first gained attention in sixth grade in elementary school with a dance at church called 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 to determine the members of JYP Entertainment's new girl group.[6][7] One of the nine successful participants, Dahyun was subsequently selected to join Twice as a singer and rapper.[1][2][6] In October that year, she officially debuted with Twice with the release of their extended play (EP), The Story Begins, and the lead single "Like Ooh-Ahh".[8]
Dahyun graduated from Hanlim Multi Art School in 2017.[9] That year, in Gallup Korea's annual music poll, she was voted the seventeenth most popular idol in South Korea.[10][11]
In November 2018, Dahyun was criticized by right-wing Japanese lawmaker Masaru Onodera 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, founder of JYP Entertainment, for failing to speak up in her defense.[13]
