But, there are more things about him that you have to know, such as how he turned into a TXT member or how he spent his childhood in his hometown, Daegu. So, let’s see the full story of Beomgyu’s pre-debut era! Beomgyu was born and raised in Daegu. He was born on March 13, 2001. He spent his childhood in Daegu along with his parents, older brother who was born in 1998, and his pet Toto. Beomgyu is the youngest member of his family. We can clearly see how cute he was as a child. Even after becoming an idol, he’s still cute and energetic. As a child, Beomgyu probably never wanted to be an idol. But, Beomgyu who was good at singing joined the band club in his school, and that made him want to be a singer and try out the music field. But, becoming an idol? Well, that can be a hard road. Some K-pop idols join a lot of auditions to just pass one and join a company. But, Beomgyu’s road wasn’t actually that rough. Beomgyu was already handsome as a teenager and caught the attention of Big Hit Entertainment’s staff. At that time, Beomgyu was walking around the street in his uniform. He probably just get off from school. But, the Big Hit Entertainment’s staff stopped him, gave him a business card, and asked him to join the audition in Seoul. In Seoul, I repeat. It was quite far from Daegu, the place where Beomgyu lived and went to middle school. Although he wanted to, he said sorry to the staff because he had a test and couldn’t go to Seoul at that time. However, the staff didn’t give up. Luckily they didn’t, because if they did, we probably wouldn’t be seeing the Beomgyu that we know today. The staff saw the potential of Beomgyu so much that they decided to come back to Daegu after they heard that Beomgyu couldn’t make it to Seoul. They went back to Seoul and returned to Daegu just to hold an audition for Beomgyu. And, it seemed like the staff wasn’t wrong after all. Beomgyu passed the audition and moved to Seoul to be a trainee. He graduated from his middle school in Daegu first and then prepared for his debut and took a gap year before entering high school. Beomgyu went to Hanlim Multi Art School in Seoul where he attended high school and kept up with his trainee schedule.

We have learned the pre-debut story of Beomgyu before he became a trainee in TXT. But, his journey to debut wasn’t that easy. Beomgyu had to spend his time learning vocals, languages, taking dancing classes, and even writing lyrics and songs. He almost always stayed up late and didn’t have time to sleep properly. The youngest child even told his mom that he wanted to have 36 hours per day so he could do all of his activities and have time to sleep. Oh, you poor thing. Beomgyu went through a lot to be an idol. But, little do we know, it is the normal life of trainees before they debut. Life seems cruel, but the results never betray the effort. On January 20, 2019, Beomgyu was revealed to be one of the members of Big Hit Entertainment’s new boy group along with Yeonjun, Soobin, Taehyun, and Huening Kai.
