Yeonjun: The Legendary Trainee of Big Hit, 'Big Jeon Yeon' | 10-29 |
In middle school, Yeonjun joined a dance club with friends, where he discovered his talent for dancing.
He later attended a dance academy and started pursuing his dream of becoming an idol.
In 2015, Yeonjun appeared in an Ottogi Jin Ramen advertisement.
After a short time as a trainee at Cube Entertainment, Yeonjun received a casting offer from Big Hit Entertainment and decided to join.
At his Big Hit audition, he danced to BTS's 'Boy in Luv' and became a trainee for about four years.
As the first member revealed for TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Yeonjun gained significant attention, with his introductory video reaching 10 million views in less than two days.
Yeonjun was known as a 'legendary trainee' at Big Hit, consistently ranking first in rap, dance, and singing during monthly evaluations.
He earned the nickname 'Big Jeon-yeon' due to his consistent top performance as a trainee.
Despite high expectations, Yeonjun faced strict evaluation standards, using criticism as motivation to improve his skills further.
The so-called wild appearance has a sharp charm with an elongated stature and natural groove, but it's balanced by a playful, charming, and people-loving personality, creating a gap moe where cool and cute coexist.
Although he looks strong, he has a deep and warm heart, often shedding tears and taking up 90% of the share in the Tobatu tear collection video.
He is known as a hard-working genius, pushing himself harder despite being considered one of the best idols, showing a strong desire for improvement and recognition, with perfectionist tendencies on stage.
During festivals, where it's important to communicate with the audience freely, he works on practicing how to enjoy the stage leisurely despite any tension.
As an ENFP, Yeonjun is a witty and active extrovert who enjoys receiving attention and being around people, though he can be shy around strangers at first.
He has an imaginative mind, loves watching movies, and often incorporates what he imagines into his lyrics.
Being the youngest among his relatives and the only child at home, he exudes a charming youngest child energy and is playfully called the eldest member of the team.
He enjoys sweet and sour pork and likes mint chocolate, especially from Baskin Robbins, with his favorite flavor being Rainbow Sherbet.
His favorite music genres are hip-hop and R&B, and his favorite song is 'Love is You' by Chrisette Michele.
His favorite animals are dogs, especially Welsh Corgis, and he recently fell in love with pandas.
He likes blue and purple as his favorite colors.
His favorite scents are apeach, peaches, and baby powder.
He revealed that he personally created Tomorrow by Together's signature pose, the Tomorrow by Together greeting pose made with the thumb, index finger, and small finger.
Born in 1999, he is the only member born in the 1990s and is often teased by his members because of this.
He graduated from Angel Kindergarten and was in Deer Class.
He lived in San Jose, California for about two years from the age of 9 to 11 and speaks English well.
The English name he used in the United States was Daniel, but he was mostly called Yeonjun, his real name.
All the juniors at his school in the U.S. cried when he left, and the same happened when he transferred high schools in Korea.
He is confident in urban dance and often creates dances on the spot.
He can mimic animal sounds like dogs and birds, with his voice being used in 'Cat & Dog' and 'Puma Escaped the Zoo.'
His soft tone is a fan favorite, and he often stretches the ends of his words while speaking.
If he hadn't become a singer, he would have wanted to be a cartoonist.
He enjoys riding the S board, which he's been doing since his time in the U.S.
He wears all kinds of clothing brands, and although he doesn't have a specific favorite, he likes standout clothes.
As the eldest, he refers to himself as 'hyung' in the third person when talking to members, often saying they are cuter.
He is a fan of the Lotte Giants, but due to his busy schedule, he can't follow them as closely.
He is often seen wearing Vans Old School Black shoes, with more than 4-5 pairs, and Soobin gifted him a pair for his birthday in 2019.
