Background
Born Jeon Won Woo on July 17, 1996, in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, Wonwoo never originally planned to become an idol. He auditioned for Pledis Entertainment in 2011 simply to gain experience, never expecting to pass. Instead, the audition changed the direction of his life, leading him to become a trainee and eventually debut with SEVENTEEN. Before his official debut, he also gained valuable stage experience performing as a backup dancer for fellow Pledis artists including NU'EST, HELLOVENUS, and Orange Caramel.
Wonwoo officially debuted with SEVENTEEN on May 26, 2015, as a member of the Hip-Hop Team. Known for his deep voice, calm demeanor, and thoughtful songwriting, he has become one of the group's most respected rappers. In 2024, he formed the special unit Jeonghan X Wonwoo, releasing the single album This Man. The following year, Wonwoo began his mandatory military service as a public service worker, becoming the second SEVENTEEN member to enlist while continuing to share music with fans through special releases like his birthday single "Gogae."
