On midnight of February 1 KST, TWICE uploaded on their YouTube account an hour-long video of Jihyo with a mini party hosted in advance of her birthday by JYP Entertainment.

To feel the presence of fans, Jihyo hosted an “Ask me anything” segment on her Instagram account last January 22 which she answered live on the uploaded birthday video.

Jihyo answered questions about her current favorite Korean drama, workout routine, and go-to songs, which she answered with NMIXX's “Dash”.

The TWICE member was also asked about their upcoming comeback With You-th and pre-release single “I Got You” where she was proud to share that the track was a story about them and their friendship.

She also talked about her vacation in Taiwan with co-members Jeongyeon and Tzuyu, as well as her recent attendance at the AMI Fashion Show during the Paris Fashion Week.

According to her, she enjoyed her time during the Fashion Week having seen models on the runway wearing AMI Paris. She even took the time to shop and explore the city.

JYP's staff also gave Jihyo some presents, one being the trending tumbler from America, the Stanley Cup, which she decorated with stickers on the spot.

To feel the presence of ONCEs, Jihyo ended her birthday video with a vlog showing her surprise appearances at a birthday cafe and pub that were prepared by fans for her birthday.

There, she interacted with ONCEs and even did a photo booth with them.

Although shy, Jihyo also gave a toast to ONCEs in the pub to wish for the success of TWICE for 2024.

At the end of the video, Jihyo thanked ONCEs for making her and her birthday feel more special and that she hopes to see them again on her next birthday.
