Unlike some other K-pop idols who weren’t originally from Seoul and left their hometown to be a trainee, Hyunjin is one of the idols which has Seoul as their hometown. Hyunjin was born and raised in Seoul on March 20, 2000. There, he lived with his parents as an only child. Hyunjin was already handsome when he was young. He got cast when he was shopping with his mom. As an only child, it’s normal for him to go shopping with his mom, but what’s not normal is when someone grabbed Hyunjin’s wrist all of a sudden. Hyunjin was thinking that the person was suspicious, but then he received the business card given by that person. It was a JYP Entertainment’s business name that he got. Turned out that the person who grabbed his hand while he was shopping with his mom was one of JYP Entertainment’s staff who got interested in him from his looks. Hyunjin then joined an audition to be a trainee. Luckily, he passed the audition and became a trainee right away. Hyunjin’s journey as a trainee wasn’t that easy. Even though he was considered lucky since someone discovered him and gave him the opportunity to be a trainee, as a trainee, he had to train really hard. Little did we know, Hyunjin and Han (also known as Jisung back then) were always on the opposite side when they were trainees. They were rivals to each other. Hyunjin who was good at dancing scolded Jisung to be better at dancing. While the other way for Hyunjin, Jisung who was good at rapping scolded Hyunjin to be better at rapping. Their rivalry was no joke, and thankfully they’re good friends now. Hyunjin spent years being a trainee while he attended school. To get more focused on being a trainee, Hyunjin attended Seoul of Performing Arts high school, also known as SOPA. In SOPA, the school that is popular to be a school of K-pop idols and trainees, Hyunjin once again became popular due to his stunning visual. Hyunjin was known for being called “SOPA Prince” since he looked so gorgeous with his SOPA uniform. But, Hyunjin said that the nickname was only popular among his juniors because students in his year didn’t know that nickname for him. But that doesn’t change the fact that Hyunjin is the SOPA Prince. He’s really the type of senior in school that makes the students fall in love. His popularity increased when he joined the survival program Stray Kids. He caught people’s attention with his cute and handsome face, especially his aura which screams out loud a “prince” vibe. Hyunjin was also known as a fan of Jinyoung of GOT7 back then. He was so lucky that Jinyoung visited them when they were practicing and gave them advice as a senior along with Jay B.
