Lily Jin Park Morrow (born 17 October 2002),[5] known mononymously as Lily (Korean: 릴리), is an Australian and South Korean singer. She is best known as a vocalist of South Korean girl group Nmixx under JYP Entertainment. She began her career by competing on the South Korean reality show competition series K-pop Star 4 in November 2014, where she placed fourth.

Early life and education

Lily Jin Park Morrow, Korean name Park Jin (박진), was born on 17 October 2002 in Marysville, Victoria, Australia to a South Korean mother and an Australian father.[6][3][7] She has a younger sister named Amy,[6] and is of British descent through her paternal grandparents.[8] When she was six years old, her family lost their house in the Black Saturday bushfires, and she took up singing as a way to work through the trauma.[9] Lily attended Daylesford Primary School, Alexandra Secondary College, Cheongdam Middle School and Dunchon High School.[10][11][3] She completed her secondary education in March 2022.[12]

Career

2014–2015: Career beginnings

In November 2014, Lily auditioned for SBS K-Pop Star Season 4.[13] She placed fourth place overall.[14] On 14 May 2015, JYP Entertainment confirmed Lily signed an exclusive contract with the label.[15] In 2015, Lily contributed the song "I'm Afraid" to the soundtrack of the KBS' drama Orange Marmalade and was released on May 16.[16]

In 2016, she starred in The Weatherman's Umbrella where she plays a young girl Sarah who goes on a journey of self-discovery.[17]

2022–present: Debut with Nmixx

On 22 February 2022, Lily debuted with the girl group Nmixx with the single "O.O". The group followed up with the single "Dice" later that year.[18] In November 2022, Lily participated in King of Mask Singer where she was eliminated in the second round.[19]

In August 2024, Lily was announced as the host for Issue Club, a web show where she takes on the role of an investigative reporter and interviews artists.[20]

Artistry

Vocals

Lily has said that Taylor Swift inspired her to become a singer.[21] Writing for Prestige Online Singapore, Surabhi Redkar praised Lily's breath control and "vast" vocal range.[22] On the South Korean music talk show The Seasons, host Zico likened her pitch accuracy to a "machine's" after she covered "Cruel Summer" by Swift.[23]

Songwriting

In Teen Vogue, Crystal Bell noted that Lily incorporated music terminology in the lyrics for "Crescendo" by Nmixx, while her contributions to another song of the group's, "Loud", included a reference to the Greek myth of Tantalus. Lily describes herself as a "music nerd" that enjoys leaving literary references in her lyrics.[24]

Personal life

An avid reader, Lily regularly hosts "Lily's Lost the Plot", a live-streamed book discussion club where she discusses a book or film with her viewers. According to Lily, the idea for the series came from the BookTube videos she watched growing up.[24]
