Momo is a member of the nine-member girl group TWICE. She prepared her own solo dance break for 'Likey', and in MISAMO, the Japanese unit she shares with Sana and Mina, she proposed the costumes for HAUTE COUTURE.
Momo is a member of the nine-member girl group TWICE. In a 2023 interview with Cosmopolitan Korea, recalling the dance studio she began attending at about three, she said: “I was dancing from the very first moment I can remember”, and “I came to Korea as soon as I finished middle school and lived as a trainee.” She described her approach to dance like this: “When it comes to dance, I have a strong feeling that I have to keep going until I get it.” (Newspim)
The title track of the first full-length album, twicetagram, in October 2017 was ‘Likey’, and its instrumental break carried a solo she had prepared after long talks with the choreographer. At the showcase she said: “I’m happy to be able to show choreography I prepared myself in a title track” (TenAsia). The following September she appeared as a special judge scoring the team battles on Dancing High, KBS 2TV’s dance-battle show for teenagers (Xportsnews).
She has worked on lyrics too. On the eighth mini album, Feel Special, in September 2019 she refined the lyrics of ‘LOVE FOOLISH’ with the lyricist Shim Eun-ji.
In MISAMO, the unit she shares with Sana and Mina in Japan, Momo wrote the lyrics of ‘Funny Valentine’ on the debut mini album Masterpiece (2023). In a 2024 interview with the magazine GINZA she said she came to want to be an artist out of admiration for Amuro Namie, and of MISAMO’s cover of Amuro’s song ‘NEW LOOK’ she said, “we wanted to show our own ‘NEW LOOK’”. In the same interview she said that for the second mini album, HAUTE COUTURE, she gathered references and proposed the costumes to the agency herself, including the idea of dividing the three of them into the 2000s, the 2010s and the 2020s.
That album’s MOMO edition carries her solo song ‘Money In My Pocket’, and the first full-length album, PLAY, in February 2026 carries her solo ‘Kitty’. On the Japanese official site she introduced ‘Kitty’ as a song that turns both strength and cuteness into weapons and laughs off anxiety.
On 27 October 2022, at an event presenting a new shoe, Onitsuka Tiger announced that Momo would be its brand ambassador (WWDJAPAN). In June 2023 she became an ambassador for Miu Miu (FASHIONSNAP), and in April 2024 the jeweller TASAKI welcomed her as the brand partner of its 70th-anniversary project. In August 2026 the fashion brand Matin Kim named her its autumn-season ambassador (Sports Kyunghyang).
