Although she’s been in the limelight for around 7 years now, did you know that she actually made her TV debut back when she was only 2 years old? She appeared in a short segment of a show that was made to test how well babies were able to recognize themselves. She was put into a room of mirrors at just 21 months old.

Jihyo was referred to by her real name, Park Jisoo. Her doll-like features were prominent ever since she was a baby. No wonder she was selected to be on the show! Looks like she was truly born for a life on the screens!
