Early life and education

edit

In 2006, Junho first gained public attention when he won Superstar Survival. The show started with twelve teenage competitors and, as the weeks went on, they were eliminated one by one until three were left. The process followed a similar style to that of the reality show Survivor. Junho signed a contract with JYP Entertainment after winning the contest, placing first out of 6,500 competitors. Future 2PM bandmates Taecyeon and Chansung also competed.[2]

Junho participated in an undergraduate programme at Howon University located in Gunsan, South Korea, with his bandmates Chansung and Wooyoung.[3][4] Furthermore, he, alongside Chansung, attained a master's degree in cinematography from Sejong University.[5]
