hi birdy

Ooohhh~~

She is kind. She always does these little things for other people that break my heart. Like in the latest V app live she made Mina and Tzuyu answer some questions, because the others were so loud and they wouldn’t get to talk otherwise. Also, I will never forget this. You can hardly see her, because she works so hard. She often mentions kidness in her speeches, too.

She is an old soul. She likes old songs (trot). She is mature. She just seems like she has lived a lot more life than anyone else at her age. There is depth in her thinking and her life isn’t just about the practicalities.

She is humble, yet confident. She knows what she is good at, but she also won’t act like she is the best (unless she is joking around). I always remember when she made a small mistake during one of her Sixteen performances and said: “Have I been living too boastfully?” gurl…

She has charisma and leadership. These sort of skills you can’t learn, you just have them or not. Jihyo is someone who makes other people follow her even if she doesn’t try. However, she doesn’t use it to her own advantage.

The way she talks. I love that she always seems to think before she answers questions. I’ve never met a person so young, who talks quite so well. She also seems to know that there is a responsibility to words, especially when you are a celebrity.

She is so funny! Just look at the faces that she keeps pulling. Jihyo is not afraid to make a fool of herself, which is a quality I admire in people. She has a good comedic timing and a quick tongue. She has said stuff like: “you won’t have a good social life if you don’t know how to lie” and “i’m so cute that everyone is knocked down.”

She is smart. This also shows in the way she speaks and thinks. During Sixteen it seemed like all of her teams’ good ideas came from her. She also makes sure that Twice is organized during shows and that there are no moments when no one talks or does anything. She guides the conversation if it’s needed.

She is hard-working. 10 years of training!!! She started at the age of 8. She watched her peers debuting and leaving. Succeeding and failing. Yet, she never gave up and continued working hard for her dreams. I could never commit to anything like that.

She is talented. People often take it for granted that Jihyo does well, because it’s so normal that she will do well. I’m hoping she gets to sing a great ballad in Masked Singer one day. The way she has been singing in the radio shows. wow.
