ITZY’s Ryujin’s Pre-Debut
Ryujin was born and raised in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea, on April 17th, 2001. She lived with her parents and an older brother. Ryujin’s family also raised two cats which they named Byeolli and Dallie which means Star and Moon. As a child, Ryujin was a good student. Even after middle school, or when she became a trainee, she still maintained being a good student. Ryuji who has an older brother has a close relationship with her only sibling. No wonder that after Ryujin made her debut, her brother proudly congratulated her on his social media. You must be wondering how this Seoul girl became an idol. How did she turn out to be a trainee, especially when she was enrolled in Gyeonggi All Girls’ High School? At that time, in 2015, Ryujin who was interested in K-pop was a fan of GOT7, the K-pop boy group from JYP Entertainment. As a big fan, Ryujin attended their fan meeting to meet her favorite idols. But, it turned out to be a scouting moment for her. Suddenly, there was someone who greeted her when she was in line for the toilet. At first, Ryujin was suspicious of them, but Ryujin thought that the person who greeted her and asked for her number was adorable so she couldn’t help but give them her number. It turned out that the person is one of JYP Entertainment’s scouters. Thanks to that moment, we all now can see the charismatic Ryujin from ITZY. If she didn’t attend that GOT7’s fan meeting, we can’t imagine what would have happened. But anyway, stan ITZY.
