You might be wondering which story Sunwoo has before he joined as a member of The Boyz. So, for now, let’s see the story of Sunwoo’s pre-debut era! Kim Seonwoo, or we can just call him by his stage name Sunwoo, was born in Gangnam, Seoul. Sunwoo was born in the same area that most K-pop agencies are located. However, Sunwoo spent most of his childhood in Seongnam, Jangan, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. In his hometown, Sunwoo lived with his parents, grandparents, and his little sister. Sunwoo’s little sister was born in 2002 and is only two years younger than him.

Sunwoo was a great soccer player back then. He always spent his days in the field. That’s why his skin is darker. If he stands next to The Boyz’s members with lighter skin, you can see the difference. As much as Sunwoo likes soccer, he didn’t end up becoming a soccer player. He might have joined a professional football club if he didn’t discover his passion for music, especially rap. Sunwoo decided to join an audition when he was in school. Sunwoo tried to apply for an audition for a K-pop agency after he learned how to rap. But, on the day of the audition, he overslept.

In 2016, Sunwoo passed the audition, and he met the other trainees that would later become members of The Boyz. In 2017, Sunwoo joined a survival show called High School Rapper on Mnet.
