Biography

Jiwon was born in Seoul, South Korea on April 5, 1988. After high school she attended Dongguk University, where she joined the theater and film department. Before debuting, she was a five-member South Korean girl group Five Girls under Good Entertainment in 2007. Due to financial problems the group never debuted. Before making plans to debut, the group starred in a reality show on MTV called "Diary of Five Girls".

After Good Entertainment was Disbanded, Jiwon moved to Core Contents Media and was originally slated to debut under the girl group, T-ara in 2009. Before debuting, the group provided a soundtrack for the Korean drama Cinderella Man called "Good Person". However on early June 2009, she was dropped from the group's line-up, citing differences in music style. She then left the agency company in 2010.^[1]

In 2011, she moved to B2M Entertainment and became a trainee. She has been involved in acting and modeling when she starred in the Korean movie Death Bell as well as various music videos. Then in December 2011 it was announced that she would be finally making her debut with a new girl group Spica and will be mentored by Lee Hyori who is now under the same agency as well. The group made its official debut on February 8, 2012, thus making her the last former FIVE GIRLS member to debut.
