Park Ji-yeon better known as simply Jiyeon,
is a South Korean idol, singer, model and actress. Ji-yeon was born in Seoul, South Korea on June 7, 1993. She briefly attended Seoul Arts High School and Hyehwa Girls' High School. Eventually, she "gave up a normal high school life" although "misses being a high school girl sometimes" and forsook attending university due to her busy acting schedule and career. She and Eunjung are the only two members of T-ara to be trained in acting. Instead, the two switched over to singing despite their original intentions. Ji-yeon has expressed an interest in modeling. In 2008, when she was 15 years old, Ji-yeon was featured in several pictorials and advertisements for SMART with Korean boy band SHINee. She collaborated with Davichi and SeeYa on the digital single "Female Generation/Forever Love", which was released in May 2009, making her the first member of T-ara to appear in public. She appeared in SG Wannabe's music videos "Saranghae" and "My Love is Crying" from their 2009 album, Gift From SG WANNABE. Early on, the Korean media dubbed Ji-yeon "Little Kim Tae Hee" due to her close resemblance to Kim. In 2008, she entered and won the Smart Model Contest. Subsequently, she auditioned at the Mnet Casting System and joined the company. T-ara debuted on July 29, 2009, when Ji-yeon was 16 years old; the majority of the members were in their early twenties. As of December 2011, she remains the youngest member of the group.
