This Male Idol is Winning The Hearts of Korean Netizens
Korean netizens and K-pop fans are sharing photos of THE BOYZ's Juyeon, with many saying that he is slowly becoming their favorite male idol nowadays.
Juyeon is the lead dancer, vocalist, and visual of THE BOYZ. Following his and the group's appearance on Mnet's "Road to Kingdom," he has been generating buzz from local fans, praising his visuals.
The idol's looks have been compared to a number of idols, including NU'EST's Hwang Minhyun...
... NCT's Jaehyun...
... and H&D's Lee Hangyul!
Juyeon was born in Gwangju, South Korea, and is a 1998-liner. The idol was cast into the company while he was on a trip with his family. He was watching a performance one night when a casting director came up to him and handed him his business card. The rest is history!
In the group, Juyeon is known for his dance and flexibility, even able to do the splits while wearing jeans. He is also the group's representative Japanese speaker and knows basic English.
Despite his dark and cool looks, fellow THE BOYZ member Q revealed that Juyeon is actually deceptively innocent and very gullible. He's a man of two sides, as many have said that on stage, he oozes charisma.
Prior to his debut, Juyeon modeled for Seoul Fashion Week 2017 alongside fellow THE BOYZ member Younghoon, who is also one of the visuals of the groups. Look like his visuals have been acknowledged even then! That same year, he appeared in Melody Day's music video "You Seem Busy."
