Hirai Momo, known mononymously as Momo, is a Japanese singer, dancer, and member of JYP Entertainment’s girl group TWICE. She was born in Kyōtanabe, Kyoto Prefecture, and began dancing at the age of three, together with her elder sister, Hana. Momo and her sister were originally spotted by JYP Entertainment in an online video in 2012. They were both asked to audition, but only Momo was successful, prompting her to move to South Korea in April 2012.
In 2015, Momo participated in the South Korean reality television show Sixteen, hosted by JYP Entertainment and co-produced by Mnet. Though she was initially eliminated from the competition, she was brought back at the end of the competition and joined the newly formed girl group Twice.
