Lim Kyungmun is one of the former contestants of "LOUD," a survival show where JYP Entertainment's founder J.Y. Park and P NATION's founder PSY chose the potential members of boy groups that will debut under their respective labels. Sadly, Kyungmun was eliminated, and so he was unable to be part of either group. It has been more than a year since then, so let's find out where he is now.

Who Is Former "LOUD" Contestant Lim Kyungmun?

Kyungmun was born on June 29, 2003 in Sokcho, Gangwon-do, South Korea. He first gained the public's attention when he appeared on SBS's "LOUD" as one of the contestants. He was 19 years old at the time (by international reckoning).

"LOUD" aired via SBS every Saturday from June 5 to Sept. 11 in 2021. Unlike the usual survival shows that featured some contestants that were already under agencies, "LOUD" was open to all male teenages from around the world born in or after 2000 who dream of becoming a K-pop idol.

During the competition, Lim managed to make it to the fifth round. However, it was the last round he was able to participate in since he was one of the trainees eliminated.

Brand New Music's new boy group went on to debut as YOUNITE in April this year. Their name means "You and I: we are connected." In the band, former "LOUD" contestant Kyungmun is part of the vocal and dance lines.

YOUNITE released their first EP "YOUNI-BIRTH" on April 20, together with the music video for the title song "1 of 9." "1 of 9" is a pop dance song that emphasizes the charms of each of the nine YOUNITE members. The adorable lyrics of the track are expected to put smiles on the listeners' faces.

The nine-member boy group made their first comeback on July 25 with their second EP "YOUNI-Q." Out of the five songs in the EP, "Aviator" serves as the title track. "YOUNI-Q" sold 43,087 copies within the first week, nearly doubling the first-week sales of the group's debut EP.

Rookie boy group YOUNITE made their second comeback on Oct. 31 with their third EP "YOUNI-ON," which features the title song "Bad Cupid." The album marks the end of the group's "YOU & I" album series.

On the same day of its release, the album sales count of the album reached 15,163 copies, becoming the group's highest first-day sales yet. Their previous record was 7,026 copies set by "YOUNI-Q."
