During a recent interview, TWICE‘s Jihyo revealed her surprising American name, going quickly viral and generating positive reactions on social networks.
On May 14th was released the new episode of SEVENTEEN‘s Seungkwan‘s variety show ‘Bibbidi Babidi Boo de Boo,’ where the leader and Jeongyeon attended as special guests, bringing fun and interesting interactions.
During their interactions, MC Bboo asked for the members of TWICE’s wishes for the show, since its premise revolves around him as a magical being, inspired by the Fairy Godmother from ‘Cinderella,’ who must grant any wish or request that his guests bring.
Jihyo revealed she wanted to do his makeup, and when they were making her wish come true, the SEVENTEEN member asked her if she had a name as a makeup artist, and Jeongyeon said she really has an American name.
When the host asked what her name was, Jihyo said it was ‘Gianna.’ Seungkwan almost laughed at it, but the TWICE leader warned him, “Don’t laugh!” and they continued joking about the hard times abroad when people do not understand their names.
On social networks, fans reacted to this name with comments like: “gianna actually fits jihyo really well,” “Gianna sounds like the main character of a luxury K-drama 😭✨,” “Lowkey….. i love it😭,” “it suits her,” “she looks like a giana lol.”
