ENHYPEN’s Jungwon Revealed How A Friend Led Him To Join Big Hit Entertainment

Thanks to curious fans wondering how the members ended up choosing Big Hit Entertainment, ENHYPEN‘s Jungwon shared how a friend brought him closer to his dream.

During one of their live broadcasts, fans asked how the company cast them. Rather than being found on the street and stopped, Jungwon’s experience was different.

Jungwon revealed that he’d already been a trainee elsewhere. He said, “Before I joined Big Hit, I was in another agency.”

Instead, someone he knew was already part of Big Hit Entertainment. Jungwon added, “But my friend was in Big Hit.” Although Heeseung asked who it was, Jungwon’s lips were sealed.

The Big Hit Entertainment employees liked what they saw and asked to see his skills. Jungwon continued, “And that’s how I was cast. Because of that, I went to the audition, and I’m in Big Hit.”

If it weren’t for that supportive friend and his lovely mom setting up the chance, Jungwon might’ve debuted in another group altogether. Fortunately, he became the ENHYPEN’s Jungwon that ENGENEs love.
