Lee Eugene After 'Produce x 101': Where is He Now?
Born in 2004, Lee Eugene first rose into stardom for his acting in the hit drama "SKY Castle."
In 2009, Eugene then joined MNET's reality and survival show, "Produce X 101," as an independent idol trainee. Despite being a rising child actor at that time, Eugene explained that he dreamt of becoming an idol actor after being inspired by EXO D.O.
He said, "I saw EXO D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) in his film 'Swing Kids' and I want to become like him," emphasizing how he shines as both an actor and idol.
During the music survival program, Eugene established his stable fandom, but he, unfortunately, didn't make it into the final cut — leaving the show at Episode 8 as no. 55.
In the same year, Eugene decided to focus solely on acting and found his new nest at Namoo actors. He is promoting under his new name, Yoo Jinwoo (Yu Gene Woo), and made an appearance on "Miss Hammurabi," "Sweet Home," and MBC's "Radio Star."
