HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO iKON'S Y VOCALIST AND DANCER
GOO JUNHOE!

On this very day, exactly 19 years ago, on a
good and blessed March 31st, 1997; him who we now know as iKON's Koo Ju-Ne was born.

Through the years this young lad stayed lovely.
Let's take a look!

#SWAG

Then on one faithful day, we got introduced to our young prince on Star King


And that wasn't the last taste we got of him! K-POP STAR Season 1, we re-discovered him. He lost tho, boohoo.

To many people's disbelief, YG for once

wasn't a complete asshat and he saved all our souls by letting Junhoe in as YG trainee, making him meet royals named Kim Hanbin, Kim Jiwon and Kim Jinhwan, together with Song Yunhyeong. #FirstKOO #LastKOO. The team was then completed by Kim Donghyuk.
 

But this is YG we're talking about, the man made our boys enter a survival show which put lots of pressure on them but surely they stayed passionate and dedicated!

In 2013 the public was finally formally introduced to 16 years old Koo Junhoe, YG trainee and Team B member. What a ing cutie! 

They lost and returned to the dungeon, y'all may now throw your rocks at YG.

Or maybe not! During the long wait, YG let the boys perform during YG Family concerts < 3

Okay now you may ACTUALLY throw your rocks because they got into a survival show yet again AND ON TOP OF ALL, the boy wasn't even a confirmed member, bloody hell! #StayUglyYG

ALL HIS TEARS, SWEAT, HARDWORK, PASSION AND DEDICATION WERE WORTH IT. HE DEBUTED, HE TOOK THE FIRST STEP LIVING HIS DREAMS.

THEN RHYTHM TA, WHICH HE PARTLY COMPOSED, CAME AND TURNED NON FANS INTO FANS. BLONDE JU-NE HAPPENED.

Today we celebrate his 19th birthday. His first birthday after debut. A lot of us followed him actively since he was 16 years old, three years ago, and we saw a bit of him during the even younger years, too. In front of our eyes he showed his growth both in skills and as a person. He grew up so well and so quick can you believe it?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!
