Born on July 16, 1997, in Seoul, South Korea, Taek-woon was a bundle of energy from the get-go. He began training in dance and music at a young age, and his parents, seeing his potential, encouraged him to pursue his passion. Who knew that this little ball of energy would one day become a K-pop sensation?
Taek-woon's journey to stardom wasn't easy, though - he faced plenty of rejection and setbacks along the way. But he didn't let that discourage him; instead, he used it as fuel to work even harder. He trained for hours on end, perfecting his craft and honing his skills, and it's clear that all that hard work paid off.
Before debuting, Taek-woon was part of the SR15B trainee team, where he trained alongside other aspiring idols. It was a cutthroat competition, but Taek-woon's determination and talent set him apart from the rest. He was eventually selected to join the group 2PM, and the rest, as they say, is history.
But what's really interesting about Taek-woon's pre-debut life is that he was almost a volleyball player. Yes, you read that right - before pursuing music, Taek-woon was a talented volleyball player, and he even won a few awards for his skills on the court. Who knew that this K-pop idol was also a sporty spice?
