TWICE's Jihyo opened up about the struggles she experienced during her trainee days on the February 29th episode of the YouTube series 'Sulply'.

She shared insights into her early years at JYP Entertainment, stating, "I joined JYP in 2005. In the past, we all gathered in the hallway and sat with blankets because there were not enough practice rooms. The environment got better after we came to the new office building."

Jihyo also disclosed that during her trainee days, she was scolded a lot because of her weight. She said, "In my case, I was scolded a lot because I couldn't lose weight."

Despite the challenges, a staff member praised Jihyo's leadership qualities, describing her as a true leader who is nice and always does what she needs to do.

Furthermore, Jihyo revealed the strict rules for trainees at JYP Entertainment, mentioning, "If they go to a bar, they're out. If they go to a club, they're out. A few people had to leave because of these rules. Even adults couldn't go. That was the case back then, almost 10 years ago now."

These insights into Jihyo's early journey shed light on the demanding and disciplined environment of the entertainment industry, emphasizing the dedication and perseverance required to succeed.
