Mini bio
How it started.
Momo grew up in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. She told GQ Korea that she followed her older sister to a dance academy at three and began joining in. JYP discovered the sisters through an online dance video in 2012; Momo passed the audition and moved to South Korea to train.
Finding TWICE.
She competed on Sixteen in 2015. Although she was eliminated, JYP founder Park Jin-young brought her back into the final lineup for her performance skills. She debuted with TWICE that October on The Story Begins and “Like Ooh-Ahh.”
Making the dance her own.
Alongside TWICE’s recordings and tours, she has made room for individual performance work. Her 2021 Performance Project pairs “Tadow” with “Bad.” In GQ, she also confirmed that she created the dance break for “Likey.”
A trio and a solo voice.
With Mina and Sana, she launched MISAMO’s debut mini album Masterpiece in 2023. Later releases include her TWICE solo “MOVE LIKE THAT” and “Kitty,” recorded for MISAMO’s 2026 album PLAY.
