MERIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT
once a powerhouse with popular artists during the late 2000's and early 2010's, meridian has since fallen from its glory after the disbandment and inactivity of its first girl group and boy group, respectively, both of whom granted meridian's original rise to success. while the company has since debuted another girl group "amare" in 2017, the outbreak of a scandal following amare's debut has not only seemingly tainted their image in the general public's eye but also amassed a considerable amount of hate towards certain members of the group. with the announcement of genesis 88's premiere, meridian hopes to both salvage their reputation as well as find their footing in the current state of the industry by sending their most promising trainee—the centerpiece of their next generation.

NOTABLE FACTS
- training period: 4 years and 5 months
- comes from an upper class upbringing with rather influential connections, most prominently his uncle's position as former senior creative director at sm entertainment and current chief creative officer at mystic story.
- was originally a trainee at mystic story before parting ways with the company after 2 years. it was heavily rumored that he was related to mystic story's new chief creative officer who was appointed in late 2017, lee beomsoo, although this was never confirmed even after juhyeon left.
- in early 2019, juhyeon became a trainee at a small company known as meridian entertainment. to his former labelmates, it was surprising that he joined a company that was past its glory days rather than a larger label like jyp or hybe, but to him, such decision signaled confidence in own strengths and abilities. unwilling to depend on his family's connections in the industry, juhyeon is determined to pave his future through hard work and self-improvement with the ultimate goal of reviving meridian by his own hands, be it building the foundation of their next boy group or becoming meridian's gateway into the current generation through writing and producing music.

INTRO VIDEO rather than beginning with introductions, juhyeon's video starts with a piano arrangement of bts v's 'singularity' on his keyboard, smooth jazz filling the air accompanied by juhyeon's vocals. the song lulls to a gentle stop at the end of the first verse before he rises from his chair and bows towards the camera, introducing his name, company, and hobbies (particularly reading literature and writing music). being one of little words, he concludes by asking the viewers to continue listening to his piano cover before sitting back down at his keyboard and playing the rest of singularity until the time they're allotted ends.

AUDITION SONG
donned in a black silk dress shirt and jewelry with inspiration from this performance, juhyeon exudes an air of sophistication and grace as he begins his solo stage, possibly evoking a sense of familiarity from viewers who also watched his introduction video. rather than emphasizing his piano skills this time, however, his audition showcases more of his expressions and dance capability to deliver a sensually captivating performance.
if asked to further display his vocals, he will briefly sing a cover of charlie puth's 'how long'. while his dancing is by no means spectacular, it is more than enough to earn him an A when combined with his singing, stage presence, confidence, and overall well-delivered performance.
