Dahyun, yeah, the one everybody knows from Twice—she’s not just your average K-pop idol. Born Kim Da-hyeon, she jumped into the spotlight thanks to that wild ride of a show, Sixteen. Seriously, being on a reality survival show at that age? Nerve-wracking. She just, you know, stood out with her quirky charm and those meme-worthy facial expressions. Fans ate it up. When all was said and done, she snagged a spot in the final lineup for Twice, JYP’s powerhouse girl group. Twice officially hit the scene in October 2015, dropping their first mini-album, The Story Begins, and that ridiculously catchy debut song, “Like Ooh-Ahh.” If you haven’t had it stuck in your head, are you even online? Their debut showcase happened that same day, and the buzz was unreal. Dahyun’s got this unique mix of rapper energy and bright, almost cartoonish stage presence. No wonder she exploded in popularity—by 2017, Gallup Korea had her at 17th most popular idol in the country. Not too shabby, right? Her journey from a hopeful contestant on a TV show to one of the faces of K-pop’s global takeover is honestly the stuff dreams are made of. She’s living proof that a little charisma (and a whole lot of guts) can take you all the way from small-town auditions to the biggest stages in Asia.

Yeah, if you squint, you can spot her there, kind of like a fun little Easter egg for fans who dig deep. It’s wild thinking about how idols sometimes get their start—one minute they’re in the background of someone else’s project, next thing you know, boom, they've got their own spotlight. This cameo didn’t really make headlines at the time, but now that she’s made a name for herself, fans love to rewind and spot her early appearance. It’s like when you find out your favorite actor had a blink-and-you-miss-it role in some random sitcom before blowing up. That tiny part in GOT7’s video is a cool little slice of K-pop history, honestly. Just goes to show, you never really know who’s waiting in the wings, ready to steal the show.
