BACKGROUND
Haein's upbringing was immersed in the world of acting, with both his parents deeply involved in the theatrical arts. His father, a renowned acting teacher, and his mother, a professional theater actress, instilled in him a profound love for the craft from an early age. Growing up surrounded by the magic of storytelling and stage performance, Haein's passion for acting flourished. He eagerly participated in school plays and community theater productions, honing his skills and immersing himself in every aspect of the art form. Haein's dedication to acting only deepened, and with unwavering support from his family, he pursued opportunities in films, television, and theater, since a really young age, embracing each role with enthusiasm and commitment.
Haein's journey took an unexpected turn when he joined Fantagio as an actor trainee, eager to pursue his passion for acting. However, just two months into his training, the CEO dropped a bombshell for him. He tells Haein that he would be trained as an idol instead. This sudden shift caught Haein off guard, especially since he had no prior experience or training in the idol industry. It was a challenging time for him as he navigated unfamiliar territory, grappling with the demands of idol training while staying true to his love for acting. Despite his best efforts, the stress and pressure of transitioning into the idol training program at Fantagio became overwhelming for Haein. After only a few months, he made the difficult decision to leave the company. The demands of the idol training regimen, coupled with his passion for acting, created a dissonance that Haein found unsustainable. Recognizing the importance of prioritizing his mental and emotional well-being, Haein chose to step away from Fantagio.
Despite his initial hesitation, Haein found renewed hope and support when offered a trainee position at EDAM Ent. in October 2019. Encouraged by his parents and the company's promise of allowing him to pursue both idol activites and acting post-debut, Haein decided to embrace this new opportunity. As he immersed himself in his trainee life at EDAM Ent., Haein discovered a sense of belonging within the company, akin to a family environment. Surrounded by supportive mentors and fellow trainees, he felt comfortable exploring his newfound passion for performing as an idol while still holding onto his unwavering love for acting.
