Short bio
Jake (제이크) is an Australian-Korean singer and member of ENHYPEN. Learn about Sim Jae Yun's age, height, birthday, nationality, career, and fun facts.
Background
Sim Jae Yun, known professionally as Jake, is a Korean-Australian singer and member of ENHYPEN. Born in Seoul on November 15, 2002, Jake moved to Brisbane, Australia, when he was young and spent most of his childhood there.
Before pursuing music professionally, he attended St Peters Lutheran College and excelled academically, particularly in mathematics and physics. His life changed after watching BTS's "DNA" music video, which inspired him to pursue a career as an idol.
In 2019, Jake attended a Big Hit Entertainment global audition in Sydney. Despite having no formal trainee background, he impressed Bang Si-hyuk enough to earn a trainee contract. After only nine months of training, he joined I-LAND, where he quickly became one of the show's most popular contestants and ultimately debuted with ENHYPEN after finishing third in the finale.
Today, Jake is known for his warm personality, multilingual abilities, and steady growth as both a performer and songwriter.
