There are more interesting facts about Jangjun that we have gathered for you. Let’s see Jangjun’s facts down below!

Golden Child’s Jangjun’s Pre-Debut
Jangjun made his debut in 2017. At that time, he was only 20 years old or 21 years old in Korean age. He was quite young when he made his debut. But, do you know that he was much younger when he decided to leave his hometown to be a trainee in Seoul? Let’s see the full story of Jangjun’s pre-debut! Jangjun was born and raised in Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Jangjun who was born on March 3, 1997, lived with his parents along with his older sister who was born in 1993. Jangjun spent his childhood and teenage life in Gyeonggi-do. Just like how we see him right now, he was an active child. Jangjun is the son of a police officer. His father was born in 1965. If Jangjun followed his father’s path, he would probably already be a police officer right now. But, he didn’t because he chose the path to be an idol instead. Jangjun decided to join an audition for Woollim Entertainment in 2014. At that time, he was still in high school. But thankfully, he passed the audition. This meant that he had to leave his school in Gyeonggi and attend a high school in Seoul. Jangjun was determined to be an idol, so he went to a school that focused on performing arts. While becoming a trainee, Jangjun attended a school that improved his ability in performing both dancing and singing. He also became a backup dancer for Infinite. In 2016, Jangjun graduated from high school.
Jangjun’s Debut with Golden Child
Jangjun spent years in trainee life. It could be considered a long time, but at least it wasn’t that long compared to other idols who have to be a trainee for over 5 years. There are also trainees who don’t end up being an idol even after years of being a trainee. Then again, Jangjun really deserved to debut because he had worked so hard during his trainee era. In August 2017, finally, there was hope for the male trainees in Woollim Entertainment. Jangjun and other trainees who have spent years working hard finally had a chance to debut. Jangjun became one of the members of a new boy group from Woollim Entertainment called Golden Child.
