It’s quite far from Seoul, and you probably wonder how the Iksan boy came to Seoul and even became an idol? Being a trainee itself is already hard, not to mention the pain he had to endure of longing for his family, friends, and hometown. So, it’s time to get to know Jeongwoo better by seeing the story of his pre-debut era! Jeongwoo, who is also known by his full name Park Jeongwoo, was born on September 28, 2004. The day Jeongwoo was born was the same day as Chueseok or Korea’s Thanksgiving. He was born in Eoyang-dong, Iksan-si, Jeollabok-do, South Korea. Not only was Jeongwoo born there, but he also spent all of his childhood and some of his teenage life in Iksan. Jeongwoo is the youngest child in his family. He lived with his parents along with an older brother. It seems like Jeongwoo was already into music when he was younger. He tried to learn more to sing while joining a music academy in his hometown. This is the same academy that Junghwan attended, too. But, it only took 2 days for Jeongwoo to get a chance to join an audition. He went to YG Entertainment’s open audition in Iksan. There, he met Junghwan for the first time. Jeongwoo was so awkward with Junghwan at that time since it was the first time they met. He gave Junghwan a sweet and sour candy. He thought that he didn’t know what to say, and Junghwan wasn’t the type of person who greets someone first either. But, because of that, they get close. They even passed the audition together. Jeongwoo officially became a trainee in March 2018.
