BIOGRAPHY

Hirai Momo was initially eliminated from Sixteen. The public outcry at her elimination was so large and sustained that she was reinstated — an event that produced some of the most viral footage in early K-pop reality TV history. The reason for the outcry was visible: her dance ability is widely regarded as among the most technically advanced of any active K-pop performer. She trained in street and commercial dance from childhood, and her isolation technique, timing, and physical confidence are at a level that professional choreographers openly discuss.

Beyond K-pop

Japanese home cooking (she prepares elaborate meals for herself and other members), gaming, working out, and a close, ongoing relationship with the Osaka food scene when she visits home.
