Born in 2008, Seoyeon has attracted particular attention as Jihyo's youngest sister. She is known to have spent years training before earning a place in HYBE's new girl group, and news of her selection had already generated anticipation ahead of the group's official debut.
The family's entertainment ties extend beyond the two. Their middle sister, Lee Ha-eum, is currently active as a model and actress. Six years younger than Jihyo, Lee recently appeared alongside her sister on MBC reality show "Home Alone (I Live Alone)," where they showcased their close sibling relationship.
During the broadcast, the sisters invited Seoyeon to a video call , with Lee affectionately referring to her as "the princess of our family."
