Xiyeon has been a trainee since she was nine years old. One of the reasons and what motivated her to be a trainee in Pledis Entertainment is After School’s Kahi. At the age of five, Xiyeon won the popularity award held by Naver Junior Child Star. Junghwa from EXID and Jihyo from Twice were there too. When she was a trainee, she had a lot of commercials projects. Xiyeon’s face resembles a lot of senior celebrities such as Park Hyungsik, Red Velvet’s Irene, Han Hyojoo, Secret’s Jeon Hyosung, and announcer Jang Yewon. Among chicken parts, Xiyeon likes chicken breast the most. Xiyeon became the MC of Music Core in 2017–2018 along with Cha Eunwoo from ASTRO.

Ex-Pristin’s Xiyeon’s Pre-Debut
We all know that Xiyeon’s real name is not Xiyeon, not even her current stage name Siyeon is her real name. It’s Park Junghyun, the girl who once was a little girl from Anyang. She was born and raised there along with her family which consists of her parents, and her two younger sisters. Xiyeon who was born on November 14th, 2000, spent her childhood in Suwon’s schools, starting from kindergarten to elementary school.However, even before she finished elementary school, Xiyeon needed to say goodbye to her friends. She was accepted to be a trainee in Pledis Entertainment, one of the big K-pop agencies in South Korea that is famous for its girl group After School.Xiyeon who was so young at that time decided to leave her hometown. Fortunately, her father and mother were not against this even though it meant that she had to live in Seoul at such a young age. Xiyeon who was still in elementary school then transferred to elementary school in Seoul.But her journey to becoming an idol was quite tough. As we already know, Xiyeon hadn’t even celebrated her 10th birthday when she joined the agency. So, she had to wait for quite a long time for her actual debut, since to be a K-pop idol, a person should be at least 14 or 15 years old.Thus, Xiyeon waited. While she waited, she trained really hard in her agency. Xiyeon with her pretty face and beautiful hair attracted people’s attention by becoming a child actress for some commercials. She also appeared in some music videos of her seniors in Pledis Entertainment, for example, After School and Orange Caramel.
