In the realm of K-Pop, TWICE has continually pushed boundaries, and their journey has been studded with notable milestones.

Amidst these developments, the shadow of a nearly realized TWICE sub-unit looms large. According to a candid revelation from Jihyo herself, the group had been meticulously preparing a special concert stage, but alas, the curtains never rose due to the disruptive waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unveiling Dreams, Veiled by Circumstances

To amplify her solo debut, Jihyo engaged in a lively interview with Spotify. In this conversation, she shared a tantalizing tidbit - a second sub-unit was on the verge of realization.

Jihyo unveiled that she, alongside Jeongyeon and Nayeon, were ardently working on a unit performance intended for one of the group's concerts. Regrettably, these plans were foiled by the pandemic's unforeseen emergence.

Jihyo's revelations extended beyond the canceled sub-unit project. She recently shed light on a pre-TWICE chapter when she was part of a group named 6MIX, a precursor to the iconic girl group.

This early lineup included her fellow 6MIX members Lena, Minyoung, and Cecilia, in addition to Nayeon, Jeongyeon, and eventually Sana. The original members Jeongyeon, Nayeon, and Jihyo, affectionately referred to as TWICE's 3MIX-line, ultimately ventured into the world as TWICE's driving force.

The trio had been on the brink of debuting their special sub-unit stage when the pandemic forced the curtains to close.
