Jihoon

Jihoon (지훈), born Han Ji-hoon (한지훈) on March 28, 2006, in Giheung-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, is a performer in TWS under Pledis Entertainment. He debuted with the group on January 22, 2024, and quickly became part of the youthful performance identity that pushed TWS from Sparkling Blue into the follow-up release cycle.

Before joining Pledis, Jihoon trained across BIGHIT Music, YG Entertainment, and JYP Entertainment, an unusually broad path that sharpened both his dance precision and his camera instinct. He was also part of the pre-debut Trainee A setup, which makes his eventual TWS debut feel less accidental and more like the result of a long, high-pressure development run.

What stands out now is how naturally he fits TWS' clean, kinetic style. He brings fast footwork, elastic movement, and a bright stage presence that keeps the group's performances from feeling overdesigned. Offstage details like his guitar background, multilingual ability, and fashion interest round out the profile, but the core appeal is simple: Jihoon moves like someone built for a boy-group stage.
