Kim Ji-won Even Delivers Fiery Rap Performance: Talented Actress with Idol Prowess 

Before becoming an actress, Kim Ji-won trained to be an idol, leading to pretty impressive performance skills. In fact, the actress has showcased these skills during her first fan meeting in over a decade of her career.

At this fan meeting, Kim Ji-won delivered various captivating singing and dancing performances. However, the highlight was her super “fiery” rap in the song “My House” (2PM). Kim Ji-won dominated the stage, transforming into a true rapper, causing the entire audience to erupt. This video quickly went viral on social media, earning the 1992-born beauty a “shower” of compliments. Many fans even affectionately called her “Jessica K” – her nick name during her idol training days.

Before joining the entertainment industry as an actress, Kim Ji-won had once trained to become an idol. She started casting at the end of middle school and trained for nearly three years in singing, dancing, and acting skills. In 2008, Kim Ji-won provided backing vocals for singer Younha and appeared in the music video for “Gossip Boy” under the stage name Jessica K.

Kim Ji-won first appeared to the public through the “Lollipop 2” MV with BIGBANG in 2010. The OranC commercial mentioned above was a turning point that made Kim Ji-won viral in Korea and earned her her first acting role. She was called “OranC Girl,” “Lollipop Girl,” and “Little Kim Tae Hee” due to her resemblance to the senior actress.

The opportunity to debut as an idol seemed within reach, but in the end, Kim Ji-won gave it up because she felt she lacked the talent for singing. Had she successfully debuted, Kim Ji-won might have become one of the most famous beauties in K-pop’s second generation.
