Momo

Momo, a principal dancer and member of the acclaimed K-Pop group Twice, first captured international attention through her compelling performance on the 2015 reality television competition Sixteen, co-produced by JYP Entertainment and Mnet. Her exceptional dance abilities led to her reinstatement by Park Jin-young following an initial elimination, ultimately securing her a coveted spot in the final lineup of the globally recognized girl group. She officially debuted with Twice in October 2015, marking their launch with the extended play, The Story Begins, and its hit lead single ‘Like Ooh-Ahh.’ This breakthrough cemented her reputation as a ‘Dance Machine’ among fans and industry professionals, following her earlier move to South Korea in April 2012 to train with JYP Entertainment after being scouted through an online video. Demonstrating her continued artistic versatility and expansive global appeal, Momo debuted with the subunit MiSaMo alongside bandmates Sana and Mina in Japan on July 26, 2023.

Her digital footprint also surged, achieving a significant milestone in 2023 by becoming the first Japanese person to reach 10 million followers on Instagram, underscoring her widespread appeal and engaged global fanbase. Her prominence as a global music icon is further solidified by her role in Twice’s international success and her strategic partnerships with leading international brands. Looking ahead, Momo is slated to perform alongside Twice at the prestigious Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2025, a testament to her ongoing relevance and high demand in both music and fashion. As a pivotal member of Twice and MiSaMo, she continues to be a highly sought-after talent, driving global trends and serving as a prominent figure in entertainment and brand endorsements.
