Who Is Jungwon?

Jungwon was born on February 9, 2004, in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, where he attended Seoul Sinseong Elementary School and Sillim Middle School.

• A friend who was already a Big Hit trainee casually showed Jungwon's pictures to the agency's casting team — and that one photo led to an audition invite IconPolls

His classmates nicknamed him "100% pure milk" — sweet, calm, and someone everyone trusted.
