Background
Jacob Bae was born on May 30, 1997, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, making him one of two international members in THE BOYZ's original lineup. Long before he became a trainee, Jacob grew up immersed in music thanks to his family, and he eventually made the leap across the world to pursue idol training in South Korea under Cre.Ker Entertainment. He, along with the rest of the pre-debut lineup, appeared on the reality show Flower Snack, which introduced fans to the group ahead of their official debut. Jacob officially debuted with THE BOYZ on December 6, 2017. Since Sangyeon's enlistment in March 2025, Jacob has stepped into the role of temporary leader, guiding the group through comebacks, unit releases, and the difficult 2026 agency dispute in Sangyeon's absence — a responsibility fans say he's carried with quiet grace.

Why Fans Love Jacob
Jacob is called the group's "mother" for his nurturing, detail-oriented nature, and stepping up as temporary leader has only cemented that reputation — he's the one making sure everyone's taken care of. He balances that caretaking energy with a genuinely goofy streak, from his love of oddly specific nicknames to his easy laugh in variety content. Fans adore Jacob for his emotional honesty; he's open about missing home and about the pressures of being a foreign member navigating a demanding industry, which makes his warmth toward his members and THE B feel especially earned. His musicality — particularly his songwriting and vocal tone — is also a huge draw for longtime fans.
