Early Life and Education

[edit]

In his early life, Wonwoo grew up in Changwon, a city located in Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. His name was chosen by his parents because it means to live by helping people with a rounded heart - Won means "round" and Woo means "help". His parents knew early on that he would pursue a music career, since he was always been interested in music as a young child. Growing up, he was fascinated with different musical instruments, but focused mainly on learning how to play the guitar when he was in middle school. His younger brother, Jeon Bohyuk, works as a fashion model.

During his formative years, he demonstrated a natural talent for music and performance, which left the groundwork for his decision to pursue a career in the music industry. He was given the nickname Palryong Middle School Dance Machine after a video of him dancing to Rain's "Rainism" and BEAST's "Breath" at his middle school talent competition. His strong passion for music motivated him to study at the reputed School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA), where he honed his skills and developed his artistic abilities. After graduating from the institution, Wonwoo spent 3 years and 6 month as a trainee under Pledis Entertainment, an entertainment company with a prominent name in the K-pop industry. His unwavering dedication to his passion to becoming an idol paid off when he made his debut as a member of SEVENTEEN in May 2015 under Pledis Entertainment.
