Three years before their debut, now lead vocalist Sihyeon competed in the first season of MNET’s television competition Produce 101 in 2016, her 40th place finish was good enough to secure a contract with Yuehua entertainment.

Born In Huangzhou, China Yiren is the youngest member of Everglow at 18 years and 9 months old. She was a contestant on Produce 48, making it into 28th place after being eliminated in episode 11, but in turn was voted the #1 Visual center on the basis of her bedazzling beauty and grace.
As a reference, the visual center is defined as the best looking member of the group, sometimes referred to solely as the visual. When she was eliminated, she signed on with Yuehua and undertook the standard 2 years of training before her introduction as the fourth member of Everglow.
Being the only member of the group from outside of Korea, Yiren expresses this special distinction through her mastery of Chinese dance. Her role models share similar traits; SNSD’s Yuna is part of her respective group’s dance trio and Jun Ji-Hyun was a model from a very early age, signing a contract back in 1997.
Aisha is Jiren’s best friend, and they both share a mutual distaste for fish. Pomeranian is her nickname, and during her down time cooking and shopping are her prerogative.
