Personal life

[edit]

Hong Da-bin was born in Seoul on January 1, 1993, and was raised in Guam. According to his song “To Whoever” he left Guam for Korea in February 2007.[5] He planned to pursue his higher education in psychology and philosophy in college before considering music but his perspective changed after he attended his mandatory military service in South Korea, where "he found inspiration to go after his dream."[5] He began writing during that period of time and continued to do so, which led him to grow "into a natural passion for music".[6]
