Fans Are Loving The Relationship Between TWICE’s Jihyo And 2PM’s Taecyeon

In response to this post, 2PM‘s Taecyeon commented: “JYP sunbaenim (senior), happy birthday!”

Some netizens were surprised to hear Taecyeon calling Jihyo “sunbaenim” as he was older in age…

“Taecyeon was her hoobae (junior)?”
“I heard Jihyo entered JYP when she was just a baby.”
“She was his senior?”

But fans knew that considering her 10-year training period, she was a sunbaenim to almost all the JYP artists!

Shes literally everyone sunbaenim😂👏#HappyJihyoDay #OurSunsetJihyo #JIHYO pic.twitter.com/Wt99D1KSv5

In fact, Jihyo goes way back with Taecyeon as well. Taecyeon even uploaded a video of Jihyo when she used to go by the name “Jisoo.” In the video, little Jihyo playfully throws a ball at Taecyeon.

Fans have been poking some fun at these two and referring back to the old video.

Do you miss her hitting you with a ball or a bag? 😆
