Jeonghan was scouted by Pledis Entertainment at a subway station.[5] After passing auditions, Jeonghan joined Pledis in 2013 and went on to receive training for the next two years. He was regularly featured on Seventeen TV, an online reality series that introduced Pledis' trainees as potential members of the then-upcoming boy group Seventeen, from its third season onward. The show was broadcast periodically on Ustream, where the trainees showed themselves training, singing, creating choreographies, and playing games.[6] The online show also included participation in concerts, titled Like Seventeen.[7][8]

2015–present: Seventeen and solo activities

[edit]

In 2015, Jeonghan debuted as a member of the South Korean boy group Seventeen with the extended play 17 Carat on May 26.[9]

On September 16, 2021, Jeonghan released a digital song named "Dream" in both Korean and Japanese, written and produced by himself and regular Seventeen collaborator Prismfilter.[10]

In March 2022, Jeonghan released a cover of Japanese musician Mosawo's "Aitai" as a part of Seventeen's ongoing #17Studio series.[11] In April, Jeonghan was announced as a new presenter of Tokyo FM's School of Lock program, a weekly radio show featuring musicians aiming to "hold the key to the future".[12] He held the role until December 2023, when it was taken over by bandmate Dino.[13] In June, Jeonghan underwent surgery for an elbow injury. It was stated that he would continue participating in the group's scheduled activities, such as Seventeen's Be The Sun World Tour while wearing a cast and brace, and would also receive ongoing medical consultations.[14]

In 2023, Jeonghan and bandmate Dino were cast in MBC every1's reality show Magic Lamp (요술램프) alongside Kim Jae-joong, Kang Hui, Lee Joo-ahn, Junpi, and Tan.[15] The program aired during September and October that year, and entailed the group travelling together in Montpellier, France.[16] On December 14, 2023, Pledis announced that Jeonghan underwent ankle surgery and would be absent from the group's Follow Tour and scheduled activities.[17] On February 23, 2024, Pledis announced that Jeonghan's health had recently improved and he would return from his hiatus starting from March onward.[18]

In June 2024, Jeonghan and his groupmate Wonwoo debuted as a new sub-unit under the name Jeonghan X Wonwoo, or JxW, with their first single album This Man in June 2024. The tracklist includes Jeonghan's first commercially released solo track, titled "Beautiful Monster".[19] Achieving commercial success, This Man broke the first-week sales record for an album released by a K-pop sub-unit within four days of its release.[20]

In August 2024, Jeonghan and Japanese actor Kento Yamazaki were featured in a travel show titled Yamazaki Kento and Jeonghan's Miracle Journey in Korea (Japanese: 山﨑賢人×JEONGHAN 奇跡旅in韓国), broadcast by Nippon TV and Hulu Japan.[21][22]

Public image

[edit]

Jeonghan has earned the nickname "Angel" from media and fans due to his birthday (October 04, or 1004; Korean: 천사; RR: cheonsa) being a homonym in Korean for angel [ko], alongside his "angelic appearance".[34][35][36]

Jeonghan has been noted for his popularity, especially in Japan, frequently landing in the top ten for Japanese rankings of popular celebrities[37][38] and performing well in GP Korea's brand reputation index for idols.[39][40] In 2022, Jeonghan uploaded photos to his Instagram account of himself in Shibuya, Tokyo, which inspired photo spots for his fans as they queued in lines to replicate his photos.[41]

Personal life
