Oh, happy jihyo day! I’m a new once! So, I don’t remember bdays rn...but oh forgot to wish her! But still happy bday jihyo! Hehe!
also didn’t know her birth name was park ji soo...if it would have then we would have 2 Jisoos but the only difference being one is park and other is kim lol
but why did she change her name tho?
hmmmm heres an answer i found:
"Her name used to be Park Ji Soo, but changed it to Park Ji Hyo before SIXTEEN started. There were already too many other artists with the name Jisoo, like Kim Jisoo from Blackpink, Seo Jisoo from Lovelyz, Seventeen's Joshua whose real name is Hong Jisoo, etc. There are also many actors and pro gamers with the name Jisoo. Every once in a while you can catch other trainees who have been with Jihyo a long time call her Jisoo by accident"
Important note: Apparently nothing official has been said by JYPE, but it seems to be widely believed that the reason was purely that there were too many Jisoo's out there."
Is very petty, happy jihyo Day!!
