Speculation is growing within the K-pop community that the youngest sister of Jihyo, a member of TWICE, may be preparing for an official idol debut under HYBE.
According to discussions circulating on Korean online forums and social media platforms, Jihyo’s sister, Park Seoyeon, is rumored to be a potential member of an upcoming girl group being developed by Pledis Entertainment, a subsidiary label of HYBE.
Jihyo is widely recognized as one of the most accomplished third-generation female idols, known for her vocal ability, leadership, and longevity in the industry. Public interest in her family has increased in recent years, particularly after another sibling made an unexpected debut as an actress in a GL drama. These developments have led many fans to comment that artistic talent appears to run strongly in the family.
The latest rumors suggest that Park Seoyeon, born in 2008, joined Pledis Entertainment in 2024. She has reportedly been seen at HYBE’s headquarters several months ago, which further fueled speculation that she may be part of the label’s long-anticipated new girl group project, often referred to by fans as “Pledis NGG.”
Online reactions have largely been positive, with many netizens expressing admiration for the family’s achievements across multiple areas of entertainment. At the same time, some fans have expressed cautious concern, citing Pledis Entertainment’s past history and management of girl groups as a point of consideration.
As of now, neither HYBE nor Pledis Entertainment has issued an official statement confirming Park Seoyeon’s trainee status or debut plans. Until further information is released, the reports remain unverified. Nevertheless, the possibility of another member of Jihyo’s family entering the K-pop industry continues to draw significant attention from fans and industry observers alike.
