SEVENTEEN’s Jun’s Pre-Debut
Let’s admit, once you join a K-pop group’s fandom, you know that every member comes from a different background. Some idols actually have to wait for almost 10 years to make a debut. Some idols got cast when they were passing by the street. Well, which story do you think suits Jun’s background before he came to Korea? Let’s find out what actually happened to him in the story of Jun’s pre-debut era! Jun was born with the name Wen Junhui or Wén Jùnhuī. For short, we can just call him by his stage name Jun. He was born in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, on June 10th, 1996. Jun spent most of his childhood and teenage life there. He lived with his parents along with his younger brother who is 10 years younger than him. Jun has been a handsome boy since he was a child. He starred in some Chinese dramas when he was in elementary school. Jun made his acting debut in 2002. At that time, he was only 6 years old. Jun also starred in a movie in 2007, and another drama in 2010. Jun probably thought that he was going to be an actor since he already had experience starring in a drama and movie. But things surely changed quickly right after he suddenly met a staff member of the K-pop agency who scouted him. That happened in 2012 when Jun went to the convenience store with his friends. The staff cast him to join an audition. Jun wasn’t a K-pop fan back then. Even when the staff told him they were from the agency that debuted After School and Son Dambi, Jun didn’t know who they were. However, Jun has friends who like K-pop, so he got curious and wanted to learn more about K-pop. Then he came to Korea barely knowing anything about K-pop. As he came to Korea, Jun started to learn dancing and singing. He then started to enjoy dancing and singing as he learned it. But still, it was quite hard for him as he was new to the Korean culture. Jun also still has to learn Korean too. Even so, there are other foreign trainees who come from China or other countries too. At least, he didn’t feel so lonely. Jun became one of the trainees of Pledis Entertainment that were introduced in Seventeen TV starting from December 24th, 2012. At that time, he used the nickname Mr. Blue Earmuffs because he wore blue earmuffs back then. In Seventeen TV, the trainees that were introduced were not the selected members of Seventeen. The line-up will change, either added or removed trainees, until the group finally reached the final line-up. The fans were also asked to vote for their favorite trainees. Luckily, Jun survived all the month’s evaluations until he finally made a debut with Seventeen. Let’s discuss the debut era of Seventeen in the next page!
