I. Introduction
In 2000, Jiyeon auditioned for SM Entertainment through the Starlight Casting System. Singing S.E.S's "Shalala" and Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" and dancing, her vocal talent and charismatic performance helped her to stand out, and she went on to win the audition.
In 2002, she debuted in the first female duo from SM Entertainment, Isak N Jiyeon. Unfortunately, during this time period, many of SM's artists were not promoted well and the group only met with moderate success. While Isak started to fade from the spotlight, Jiyeon did some music video work and maintained a steady presence in SM Town's seasonal albums. On the album 2004 Summer Vacation in SMTOWN.com, Jiyeon participated in a song alongside soloist Dana and the then-newcomers Sunday and Stephanie. This same foursome would go on to become the group Chun Sang Ji Hee The Grace.
In 2005, Jiyeon re-debuted with The Grace - CSJH using an new stage name of Lina. In order to contribute to the group's international goals, Lina studied Japanese and Mandarin. She has since completed an degree in Applied Music at Myeongji University.
In 2013, Jiyeon debuted as an musical theatre actress, and has been an lead in both "Dream Like" and "Les Miserables" for multiple years now. She married musical actor Jang Seungjo in 2014. They met in 2011 while working on the show “Temptation of Wolves“.
