BIOGRAPHY

Seungmin was born on September 22, 2000 in Seoul, South Korea. His talent as a singer emerged early on. In elementary school, he won a rhyme contest and began singing in a choir. Before he decided to become a singer, his dream was to become a baseball player. This dream was shattered due to an injury and other circumstances. So he focused on singing and worked hard to improve his technique.

During high school, Seungmin attended an open casting call for JYP Entertainment, which his friend persuaded him to attend. He placed second and joined JYPE in March 2017. After his debut, he went to Cheongdam High School and graduated on February 14, 2019.

On October 11, 2017, JYPE announced the survival show “Stray Kids”. In the show, Seungmin was introduced as the singer of the “Male Group Project”. The “Male Project Team” was special from the start because, unlike most other K-pop groups, it was not formed by the agency. Instead, Bang Chan himself had put together the team of a total of nine members. The members were: Bang Chan , Lee Know , Han , Changbin , Felix , Hyunjin , Seungmin, IN and Woojin.

In the last episode of the Survival Show on December 19, 2017, it was announced that this very group that Bang Chan put together would also be making their debut. However, in October 2019, Woojin left the group for unknown reasons.
