JIHYO'S FASHION IS ALL ABOUT FEMININE-PREPPY-FASHIONABLE-AND-BACK-TO-FEMININE-STYLE-AGAIN. AT TIMES, SHE GETS CALLED OUT FOR HER 'RISQUE' FASHION BECAUSE SHE GREW UP IN A RATHER LIBERATED COUNTRY BUT SHE STICKS WITH IT; IT'S HER FASHION STATEMENT. SHE PREFERS HIGH HEELS OVER DOLL SHOES ANY TIME OF THE DAY BUT COULD ALSO SWITCH TO RUBBER SHOES (SHE'S A SNEAKERHEAD, APPARENTLY.). YOU COULD SAY SHE'S ON THE FEMININE SIDE OBVIOUSLY AND DOESN'T BOTHER TAKING A SECOND LOOK ON BAGGY HOODIES AND HAREM PANTS. BIG N-O FOR HER. YEP, SHE WEARS FLAT SHOES AND RUBBER SHOES, BUT MOST OF THE TIME, HIGH HEELS ARE HER BEST FRIENDS.

FORMAL: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
PRACTICE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
HOUSE: 1, 2, 3 (MINUS THE SHOES^^), 4, 5
TOUGH: SHE IS KNOWN FOR BEING STRONG AND DETERMINED, HENCE, GAINING THE RECOGNITION OF BEING A TOUGH LADY, AS SHE KNOWS HOW TO TOLERATE DIFFICULTY AND SUFFERING ON HER OWN. SHE'S THE TYPE OF PERSON TO WANT TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING BY MEANS OF BEING TOUGH AS SHE REMAINS DETERMINED AND DOESN'T GIVE UP; WHATEVER THE SITUATION INCURS, EVEN WHEN THERE ARE DIFFICULTIES OR PROBLEMS. SHE'S ALSO KNOWN FOR NOT BACKING DOWN FROM ANY CHALLENGES, ESPECIALLY NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT. ONE, DON'T GET STARTED WITH HER FRIENDS, HER FAMILY, HER MEMBERS, OR ANYONE CLOSE TO HER HEART. HER FRIENDS AND MEMBERS. HER COUSIN MOST IMPORTANTLY ARE HER BABIES NO MATTER HOW OLD THEY ARE, DON'T YOU DARE LAY ANY FINGER ON THEM, OR YOU'LL HAVE TO FACE HER, THEIR MOTHER HEN. SHE DOESN'T HURT SOMEBODY PHYSICALLY, AS SAID BEFORE. BUT HER WORDS COULD CUT LIKE A KNIFE ON SOMEBODY'S WHOLE BEING. IF YOU WANT TO BE SAFE, JUST.DON'T.HURT.HER.BABIES. (OH AND TALK WHEN SHE'S AROUND. NOT BEHIND HER BACK. BECAUSE SHE HATES IT WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO TALK ON HER FACE.)
BRAVE: SHE'S ALSO KNOWN FOR NOT BACKING DOWN FROM ANY CHALLENGES, ESPECIALLY NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT. ONE, DON'T GET STARTED WITH HER FRIENDS, OR ANYONE CLOSE TO HER HEART. HER FRIENDS MOST IMPORTANTLY ARE HER BABIES NO MATTER HOW OLD THEY ARE (OR OLDER THAN HER, IN SOME CASES), DON'T YOU DARE LAY ANY FINGER ON THEM, OR YOU'LL HAVE TO FACE HER, THEIR MOTHER HEN. SHE DOESN'T HURT SOMEBODY PHYSICALLY, AS SAID BEFORE. BUT HER WORDS COULD CUT LIKE A KNIFE ON SOMEBODY'S WHOLE BEING. IF YOU WANT TO BE SAFE, JUST.DON'T.HURT.HER.BABIES. (OH AND TALK WHEN SHE'S AROUND. NOT BEHIND HER BACK. BECAUSE SHE HATES IT WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO TALK ON HER FACE.)
HONEST (AKA SHE IS WHO SHE IS): SHE DOESN’T FEEL THE NEED TO CONFORM TO THE RULES OF SOCIETY. SHE’S A MISFIT OF THE GOOD KIND. HER FRIENDS MAY PRETEND LIKE THEY DON’T APPRECIATE HER LIFE CHOICES, BUT SOMEWHERE DEEP WITHIN, EVERYONE SECRETLY WANTS TO BE HER OR WANTS TO BE WITH A GIRL LIKE HER. SHE DOESN’T SUGARCOAT IT. IT’S TRUE, SUGARCOATING A PROBLEM HELPS EASE THE PAIN NOW AND THEN, BUT ALMOST EVERY TIME, A PERSON WOULD PREFER A BULLET IN THE HEAD INSTEAD OF FIVE IN THE CHEST. SHE SAYS WHAT’S ON HER MIND, AND UNLESS THEY'RE FEELING GUILTY AND MISERABLE ALREADY OR IF IT’S A SENSITIVE ISSUE, HER FRIENDS WOULD APPRECIATE THAT TRAIT OF HERS.
RATIONAL: JIHYO USES FACTS AND REASONS AS HER BASIS TO MAKE JUDGMENTS. SHE MAKES DECISIONS, STATEMENTS, OR JUDGMENTS USING REASONED THINKING, BASED ON FACTS AND DOESN'T BASE ANYTHING ON RUMORS, HENCE, DOESN'T ACT ON IMPULSE ALL THE TIME.
INDEPENDENT: JIHYO IS A CONFIDENT, SELF-MOTIVATED LADY WHO TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS AND NEVER BLAMES THE REST OF THE WORLD FOR HER MISTAKES OR HER DOWNFALLS. ALSO, SHE'S THE TYPE OF LADY WHO PAYS HER OWN BILLS (YOU COULD ASK HER JIHO OPPA! KKKK), BUYS HER OWN THINGS, AND DOESN'T ALLOW A MAN TO AFFECT HER STABILITY AND SELF-CONFIDENCE. SHE SUPPORTS HERSELF ENTIRELY ON HER OWN AND IS PROUD TO BE ABLE TO DO SO.
-
DOMINANT: JIHYO WORDS THINGS WITH CONFIDENCE AND CERTAINTY. COMPARE "ITAEWON IS THIS WAY" TO "MAYBE ITAEWON IS THIS WAY, OR SOMETHING?". SHE'S FIRM AND FORCEFUL IN HER APPROACH TO PROBLEMS. SHE ALSO BELIEVES IN 'TOUGH LOVE', AND TRY TO 'HELP' OTHERS BY CHALLENGING THEM TO PROVE THEMSELVES, AS SHE HERSELF WOULD. IF MET BY OPPOSITION, SHE REACTS CONFRONTATIONAL TO DEFEND HERSELF. BECAUSE SHE'S CONSTANTLY TRYING TO BE 'DOMINANT' IN EVERY SITUATION, SUBCONSCIOUSLY, SHE DOES IN EITHER BY BEING LOUDER AND BETTER THAN THOSE AROUND HER, OR MORE RESTRAINED AND THEREFORE SUPERIOR TO THOSE WHO LOSE THEIR COOL. HER CONFIDENCE AND DEMANDING NATURES MAKES HER A NATURAL LEADER; SHE'S MORE LIKELY TO TAKE CHARGE IF NECESSARY RATHER THAN FUMBLING AROUND WORRYING. SHE WILL 'CHALLENGE' OTHERS IN ORDER TO SHOW HER RESPECT FOR THE PERSON'S STRENGTH. SHE BELIEVES THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO 'PROVE ONESELF'. SHE SAYS THINGS LIKE "IF ANYONE TRIES TO MESS WITH ME, I MAKE THEM WISH THEY'D NEVER STARTED ON ME IN THE FIRST PLACE". SHE LOVES COMPETITION... BUT HATE TO LOSE. WORDS LIKE 'HOT-BLOODED', 'BRASH', 'DOMINEERING', 'OVERBEARING', MIGHT BE USED TO DESCRIBE HER DOMINEERING TEMPERAMENT.
SHE CAN BE A GREAT, SUPPORTIVE FRIEND WHO'D TAKE A BULLET FOR THOSE CLOSE TO HER, UNLESS YOU GET ON HER BAD SIDE, IN WHICH CASE SHE'LL TRY HER BEST TO 'RUB YOUR NOSE INTO THE DIRT'. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HER THAT SHE'S STRONG AND COURAGEOUS, NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING. SHE WILL 'RISE TO THE CHALLENGE', IN ORDER TO PROVE HERSELF, AND LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO DO SO. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR HER TO BE TOUGH AND STRONG. AS A DOMINANT PERSON, SHE STRIVES FOR INDEPENDENCE, BECAUSE TO BE DEPENDENT IS TO RELY ON OTHERS, TO NOT BE IN THE SUPERIOR POSITION. DEPENDENCE IS WEAKNESS. SHE IS 'THICK-SKINNED' IN A WAY, IN MANY CASES BULLETPROOF AGAINST THE CRITICISMS OF OTHERS, ABLE TO SHRUG OR LAUGH THEM OFF.
PERFECTIONIST: SHE FINDS IT HARD TO BE HAPPY WITH HER WORK UNLESS IT IS OF A VERY HIGH STANDARD. IT CAN BE SELF-DESTRUCTIVE AND TIME WASTING AS SHE OFTEN PROCRASTINATE TO AVOID DOING IMPORTANT TASKS IN WHAT SHE SEES AS A SUBSTANDARD WAY. JIHYO PUSHES HERSELF BEYOND THE NORMAL LIMITS TO ACHIEVE HER GOALS AND PEOPLE ARE SOMETIMES SURPRISED BY WHAT SHE CAN ACCOMPLISH. SHE DOES NOT DEAL WELL WITH PRESSURE AND CLOSE DEADLINES, PARTICULARLY WHEN HER WORK IS IMPORTANT, AS SHE FEELS THAT SHE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE HER WORK 'PERFECT' AND THEREFORE BE HAPPY WITH IT. IT CAN BE BOTH A BLESSING AND A CURSE. JIHYO IS NOT THE SAME AS THOSE WHO SUFFER FROM OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD), ALTHOUGH SHE CAN BE OBSESSIVE ABOUT HER WORK.
PRUDENT: JIHYO IS PRUDENT IN A WAY THAT, SHE WANTS EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT FOR HER TASTE. IT BECOMES A NEGATIVE TRAIT WHEN SHE BECOMES TOO CONTROLLING, OR BECOMES TOO MUCH OF A PERFECTIONIST, THOUGH SHE TRIES TO LESSEN THIS SOMETIMES, HER MEMBERS ARE A TESTIMONY OF THAT.
REBEL: JIHYO IS A PERSON WHO STANDS UP FOR HER OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS DESPITE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS. AS A TRUE REBEL, SHE STANDS UP FOR WHAT SHE BELIEVE IS RIGHT, NOT AGAINST WHAT'S RIGHT. IT'S NOT ABOUT SMOKING CRACK, DRINKING TILL SHE'S RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS, OR BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF ANYONE THAT CROSSES HER PATH. IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING AN INDIVIDUAL AND REFUSING TO FOLLOW A CROWD THAT FORCES HER TO THINK THE SAME WAY THEY DO EVEN IF IT MEANS BECOMING AN OUTCAST TO SOCIETY. SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS AND DO NOT COMPROMISE HER INDIVIDUALITY OR PERSONAL OPINION FOR ANYONE. SHE'S STRAIGHTFORWARD AND HONEST AND SHE WILL SURE AS HELL TELL IT LIKE IT IS. SHE IS A PERSON WHO STANDS UP FOR WHAT SHE THINKS IS RIGHT, OR JUST HER OPINIONS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE (OFTEN HER AUTHORITIES) THINK. IT'S ABOUT NOT FOLLOWING THE CROWD AND GOING THROUGH THE EVERYDAY MOTIONS. SHE IS USUALLY OUTSPOKEN AND STRAIGHTFORWARD, MEANING SHE DOESN'T CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK AND WILL TELL OFF ANYONE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS; SOME REBELLION IS JUST THROUGH PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE ACTIONS (I.E., GHANDI). 'REBELS' AREN'T NON-CONFORMISTS SUCH AS THOSE THEY WOULD DEFINE AS "GOTHIC" OR "EMO;"
IF SHE DOESN'T CONFORM, IT'S BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY THINKS CONFORMING TO THE SITUATION AND NOT SPEAKING OUT IS MORALLY WRONG. BEING REBELLIOUS ISN'T SOMETHING SHE DOES BY CHOICE, SHE'S BORN WITH IT.
POTTY MOUTH: '' '' 'BLOODY HELL' WERE OFTENTIMES HEARD COMING OUT FROM . WHO AND WHAT IS TO BLAME? HER, GROWING UP IN A VERY MUCH LIBERATED COUNTRY? OR WAS IT THE UNDERGROUND RAPPING SCENE? BOTH, IF I MAY SAY.
SHE GREW UP IN CENTRAL LONDON FROM A FAMILY OF THREE (MOTHER, FATHER AND HER) BUT SPENT HER SUMMER VACATIONS AND CHRISTMAS VACATIONS IN KOREA, BUT IT STOPPED WHEN SHE WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD, FORCING HER TO SPEND HER HOLIDAYS IN LONDON, CUTTING EFFECTIVELY HER COMMUNICATION FROM THE ONES WHO LOVE HER; HER COUSIN, GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDFATHER: WHO WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO SHOWED HER WHAT LOVE IS AND MADE HER FEEL LOVED AND CHERISHED; AT 13, SHE LEARNED THAT HER GRANDPARENTS DIED AND HER COUSIN WENT BUSY WITH HIS CAREER, JIHYO FELT AS IF SHE HAS NO PURPOSE TO LIVE ANYMORE. BUT THEN SHE SAW A MUSIC VIDEO OF TASHA'S BLACK HAPPINESS, AND WAS INSTANTLY AWOKEN BY THE LYRICS AND REMEMBERED HER COUSIN AS WELL, AND FOUND SOLACE IN MUSIC. SINCE THEN, HER DREAM WAS TO BE RENOWNED RAPPER, FOLLOWING THE PATH OF HER COUSIN AND BECAUSE FOR HER, SHE COULD FREELY EXPRESS HERSELF IN FREESTYLE RAPPING, IT HELPS THAT THE WORDS FLOW OUT OF LIKE IT'S HER SECOND NATURE WITH A STEADY TONE ACCOMPANYING IT, SO SHE STARTED AS AN UNDERGROUND RAPPER AS WHAT HER COUSIN SUGGESTED HER AND SHE KEPT DOING THAT FOR A GOOD YEAR AND A HALF, BEING KNOWN UNDERGROUND AS J.HYO, THE SPITFIRE BEAUTY. SHE WAS YOUNG, ALRIGHT, BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP THE WORDS SPITTING OUT OF LIKE BALLS OF HIRE, HENCE, GAINING RECOGNITION FROM THOSE OTHER UNDERGROUND RAPPERS, MAKING HER NAME KNOWN UNDERGROUND AND TO MANY FORMER UNDERGROUND RAPPERS BEFORE DUE TO WORD OF MOUTH.
(ADD) LEFT FOR SEOUL IN SECRECY ON HER 14TH BIRTHDAY USING THE SAVINGS HER GRANDPARENTS LEFT HER WITH, WITH ONLY A LETTER TO HER BUSY PARENTS, TELLING THEM THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO FIND HER, AND THAT SHE DECIDED TO RETURN TO KOREA SAYING SHE LEFT BECAUSE SHE HAS A PURPOSE, A DREAM TO FULFILL, TO PURSUE HER DREAM: SHE LIVED WITH HER COUSIN, WOO JIHO OR AS HE'S FAMOUSLY KNOWN, ZICO, AND CONTINUED HER STUDIES IN KOREA AT DAY WHILE RAPPING UNDERGROUND AT NIGHT.

trainee life :
SHE CONTINUED RAPPING UNDERGROUND UNTIL AFTER HER FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY, SINCE THEN, SHE DECIDED TO PURSUE HER INITIAL PLAN: TO DEBUT IN ONE OF THE BIG THREE COMPANIES, AND WHAT'S BETTER DEBUTING AS A KNOWN RAPPER THAN IN YG? SO SHE AUDITIONED BY PERSONALLY DELIVERING HER AUDITION TAPE IN YG ENTERTAINMENT, WHICH JUST SO HAPPENS THAT IT WAS DEE.P WHO WAS ENTERING THE BUILDING THE MOMENT JIHYO ARRIVED SO SHE CALLED FOR HIS ATTENTION AND POLITELY ASKED HIM IF HE COULD PASS HER AUDITION TAPE TO THE RECRUITMENT TEAM OF YG ENTERTAINMENT AND HE SAID YES, JIHYO LEFT AFTER THANKING HIM. THREE DAYS LATER, SHE RECEIVED A CALL, TELLING HER TO REPORT TO YG ENTERTAINMENT THE NEXT DAY AND THAT SHE NEEDS TO BRING HER AUDITION MATERIALS (I.E: MUSIC).
THE MOMENT SHE STARTED TO RAP, SHE IMMEDIATELY GOT CHOICE37, DEE.P AND ROVIN'S APPROVALS. HALFWAY THROUGH HER RAP, BIGBANG SILENTLY CAME IN AND TOP INSTANTLY RECOGNIZED HER. "AH! J.HYO!" TOP EXCLAIMED, EFFECTIVELY CUTTING OFF JIHYO'S RAP AND THE TEAM SENT TOP A NASTY LOOK. HE IMMEDIATELY SAT DOWN BESIDE THE OTHER PRODUCERS AND BIGBANG, AND AIRPLAY CALMLY TOLD JIHYO TO START HER RAP OFF AGAIN, AND SHE FOLLOWED SUIT. "STILL THE SAME J.HYO FROM THE SCENE, HUH." TOP MUMBLED, REMEMBERING HIS UNDERGROUND RAPPER FRIENDS' WORDS OF APPRAISAL FOR HER.
AFTER HER RAP PIECE, SHE BOWED DOWN AND PREPARED HER MUSIC FOR HER DANCE. BUT BEFORE SHE PRESSED PLAY, SHE LOOKED AT THE CEILING AND LET OFF A THANKFUL SMILE WITH HER EYES CLOSED. AS SHE WAS DANCING, SHE REMEMBERS HOW HER GRANDMOTHER WAS THE NUMBER ONE PERSON TO ACTUALLY SUPPORT HER LOVE OF DANCING WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE STARTING FROM ENROLLING HER AT MULTIPLE DANCE LESSONS TO ATTENDING HER NUMEROUS RECITALS WITH HER GRANDFATHER WHICH HER PARENTS SEEMED TO BE SO BUSY TO ATTEND TO. WITH THAT THOUGH IN MIND, SHE GAVE HER BEST PERFORMANCE, CHANTING IN HER MIND 'I'M DOING THIS FOR MAMU AND PAPU AND JIHO OPPA' OVER AD OVER AGAIN. "I LIKE THIS GIRL. SHE HAS THIS AIR OF STRONG DETERMINATION TO HER." LYDIA TOLD YUNJAE WHO'S BESIDE HER, TO WHICH, THE MALE PRODUCER NODDED. "HER RAP IS OVER THE TOP FOR A FEMALE RAPPER BUT HER DANCING...WOW, IT'S LIKE SHE'S DEMANDING FOR ALL EYES TO BE ON HER. THIS IS RARE." HE REPLIED.
"THIS IS A RARE CASE, WHERE I'M TOTALLY OUT OF WORDS TO SAY BUT WOW. YOU HAD THIS AIR OF DOMINANCE AROUND YOU. IT'S AS IF YOU WERE ORDERING US WITH YOUR EYES AND MOVES THAT WE SHOULD ONLY LOOK AT YOU AND NO ONE BUT YOU THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF YOUR AUDITION. WOW. THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL AUDITION." JIHYO WOULDN'T FORGET THE WORDS P.K TOLD HER THE MOMENT THEY EVALUATED HER. SHE WOULD'VE CRIED TEARS OF JOY RIGHT THEN AND THERE BUT SHE GATHERED HERSELF. "CONGRATULATIONS, KID. WELCOME TO YG ENTERTAINMENT." TEDDY TOLD HER AS SHE BOWED DOW TO EVERYONE.FINALLY, SHE'S A YG TRAINEE.
AS A TRAINEE, SHE WAS LOOKED UPON BECAUSE OF HER VARIOUS TALENTS, SHE HAS MANY SURPRISES INSIDE HER BODY. SHE CAN RAP AND DANCE EXCELLENTLY AT THE SAME TIME. BUT YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE BULLIES IN EVERY TRAINEES. THERE ARE SOME WHO BULLY HER BECAUSE SAYING SHE CAN ONLY RAP AND DANCE BUT NOT SING. SOME EVEN GOT TO THE EXTENT OF COMPARING HER TO TOP, SAYING HE COULD SING BETTER THAN HER. AND IT'S ALRIGHT. JIHYO ACKNOWLEDGES IT AND IGNORES THE UNNECESSARY COMMENTS.
SHE WAS SET TO DEBUT AS A YG SOLOIST RAPPER BUT THE CEO DECIDED TO DEBUT LEE HI BEFORE HER. AFTER MANY MONTHS OF WAITING, JIHYO FIGURED OUT SHE'D NEED TO SWITCH COMPANIES BECAUSE YG IS GETTING MORE FOCUSED ON OTHERS AND THAT HER DEBUT IS GETTING PUSHED BACK A LOT OF TIMES, MAKING HER FEEL MORE AND MORE IRRELEVANT AND SHE DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR THE TIME THAT SHE'LL ONLY BE KNOWN AS SOMEONE'S SHADOW, SO SHE DECIDED THAT SHE NEEDS HER COUSIN'S HELP.
BEFORE JOINING THE SURVIVAL SHOW, SHE CALLED HER COUSIN UP AND ASKED IF THERE WERE AVAILABLE SPOTS FOR TRAINEES IN SEVEN SEASONS. HE SAID HE'D LOVE TO GIVE HER A POSITION IN SSEASONS BUT DIDN'T WANT HER TO GET CRITICIZED BY IT, SO HE SUGGESTED HER TO STAY AT YGE AND WAIT A LITTLE MORE. THE MOMENT HE TOLD HER THAT, JIHYO DECIDED TO TALK TO YG'S CEO TO CLEAR THINGS. THAT'S WHEN HE TOLD HER ABOUT UNRETTY RAPSTAR, AND WASTING NO MORE TIME, HE ASKED GDRAGON TO SIGN JIHYO UP.
SO JIHYO FIGURED, IF SHE IS NOT ABLE TO DEBUT YET, SHE'LL HAVE TO WORK HARD TO PROVE HERSELF AS A RAPPER. AND WHAT BETTER WAY THAN JOIN UNPRETTY RAPSTAR, RIGHT?
SHE'S RESPECTED JUST AS MUCH BECAUSE OF HER RAPPING PROWESS. SHE LITERALLY WALKS, WORKS AND SPITS WORD LIKE A BOSS, CARRYING THE PRIDE ZICO, MINO AND GDRAGON HAS FOR HER, THUS, GAINING RECOGNITION AMONG HER CO-CONTESTANT AND PRODUCERS ALIKE.
FINALLY, AFTER SHE WAS ELIMINATED AT THE FINAL ROUND FOR UNPRETTY RAPSTAR, JESSI SUGGESTED THAT SHE NEEDS TO STRIVE HARDER FOR YG TO BE WILLING TO DEBUT HER. "YOUR TALENT IS MUCH TOO GOOD FOR IT TO BE A WASTE." SHE SAID. A DAY LATER, A CALL CAME IN FROM YANG HYUNSUK HIMSELF, TELLING HER ABOUT YET ANOTHER SURVIVAL PROGRAM. YG REALLY DAMN LOVES SURVIVAL SHOWS, DOESN'T HE? SO SEEING AS SHE HAS NO OTHER CHOICE, SHE PUSHES FOR THE SURVIVAL SHOW AS PER HER CEO'S WHIMS.

scene suggestions :
TAEHYUN PISSING HANBIN OFF (who's a sworn jihyo fan for god knows how long) BY COMMENTING ON JIHYO'S INSTAGRAM POSTS (POST-DEBUT. LIKE HOW TAEYANG WAS TROLLING CL ON HER IG ACCT: "DOPE VIDEO! CONGRATZ!!!") AND MAKING SURE HE GETS A REPLY, JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT.
APRIL FOOL'S JOKE OF MINO AND JIHYO. (AKA DATING SCANDAL: DATING SCANDAL WITH MINO, YGE JUST LAUGHED IT OFF AND MINO POSTING ABOUT IT RELENTLESSLY FOR A WHOLE TWO WEEKS, FINDING THE RUMOUR HUMOROUS. AT SOME POINT, IN APRIL FOOL'S, HE "CONFIRMED" THAT THEY WERE DATING WHICH ENDED UP AS AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE, MAKING FANS DISMAYED. MINO LAUGHED ABOUT IT, MENTIONING THEIR DATING BAN AND THAT THEY'RE JUST LIKE CLOSE SIBLINGS.)
FANSERVICE: another member/contestant X JIHYO FANSERVICE (SNS PICTURES), HUGGING IN PUBLIC+AWARDS SHOWS+FAKE PDA (WHICH the other contestant INITIATES: HOLD HANDS TIGHT, HUGGING, KISS ON THE CHEEK). THEY'RE DUBBED AS THE "JI+the other contestan'ts name" COUPLE, MUCH LIKE TAENY AND CHAERA.
SHE COLLAPSED ONE TIME DURING A PERFORMANCE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T GET ENOUGH REST.
Taeyang, who assessed her once, invited Jihyo to sing 'Eyes, Nose, Lips' with him, covering Tablo's rap part.
VARIETY SHOWS: RUNNING MAN, STRONG HEART AND HAPPY TOGETHER.
ZICO PERFORMING 'IT HURTS' ONSTAGE(ON AN WARDS SHOW OR SMTH, or probably he'll be a guest on the survival show to perform with jihyo on a battle orz) , AND HE WENT TO JIHYO'S PLACE, TOOK HER HAND, AND ASKED HER TO SING SOJIN'S PARTS.
