"Sports genius!?" 2 K-POP idols from athletes

This time, we will feature two K-POP idols that were athletes!

Korean boy group ENHYPEN SungHoon

Formed by successful applicants of the Korean audition program "I-LAND" in 2020, SungHoon is a former figure skater.

In 2013, he began participating in domestic and international competitions, winning 2 gold, silver and 1 bronze medals at international competitions, and 5 gold, 9 silver and 1 bronze medals at domestic competitions.

Since 2017, he has been living as a trainee and a figure skater at the current office. By the way, at the end of SungHoon's competitive life, he participated in the Men's Group A High School at the "Korea Winter National Sports Festival" held in February 2020 and won 2nd place. Four months later, in June, he participated in "I-LAND" and made his debut in November of the same year.

Korean boy group "WEi" KIM YOHAN

In 2019, YOHAN participated in the Korean audition program "PRODUCEX101" and debuted as a boy group "X1", but disbanded five months later, and then re-debuted as "WEi" in October 2020 of the same year.
YOHAN practiced taekwondo. Born to a taekwondo coach father, he learned taekwondo from the age of three. In the past, he has won the national championship three times, and was a taekwondo player with a future forever, such as being a substitute for the national team.
After that, he entered Seoul Sports High School, and although he injured his Achilles tendon, he recovered completely after rehabilitation. After graduating from high school, he entered Sangmyung University on a taekwondo scholarship.
As an individual, he has been interested in the entertainment world since he was a child, and he was sometimes scouted by an office when he was a student, but his father refused the office first.
After entering university, he was scouted by the current management office, and after a meeting, he signed a contract as a trainee. Within a week of joining the agency, it was decided to participate in "PRODUCEX101", and that's how she made her debut. However, there is an anecdote that that he joined the company as an actor, not as an idol trainee.
