Mina

Myoui Mina was born in the United States but raised in Kobe, Japan, where she trained as a competitive ballet dancer from age five. She was scouted by a JYP representative at a shopping mall in Japan — not a staged audition, but an impromptu street scouting — and moved to Seoul alone to train. Her classical ballet training manifests in the extreme precision of her movement: every gesture is measured, her posture is extraordinary, and she brings a stillness to performance that professional dance critics have noted.
