hwang jihoon, born and raised in the noisy city of busan, south korea thought he wasn't one to be in the house a lot because he'd been fortunate enough to travel to different parts of the world with his parents. little jihoon had fun during these occasions, then again that's exactly how kids should usually be, free spirited and enjoyable. while on his travels, he had even picked up two new languages there, thanks to befriending some natives of that area. jihoon briefly recalls learning of the types of music from those areas too, as it's usually a way to help learn the new cultures and such. one type of music in particular had been a jpop and then also regular pop. ofc when jihoon was back home, he'd remembered looking up kpop too, as a kid, nearing teen years.

as a teen, jihoon began to search more about jpop while at home, he'd go to trying to sing and dance along. meanwhile his mother must've caught her son a couple of times and she'd reminisced her old days as a kpop idol and seemed to see a certain stage spark grow in her son, imagining him on stage too though it seemed like jihoon was gaining the same interest, like a particular bright spark was growing and glowing to the point that one day, his mom sat down to have a long talk with jihoon about perhaps thinking of wanting to audition for an idol just like his mother. jihoon was hesitant at first because he's usually shy now towards new events and people but he hesitantly agreed. it was only hesitant because he'd still felt paranoid towards the whole situation but went along to audition. jihoon went on to his mom's old company and barely managed to successfully join the male trainees lineup, barely being that poor jihoon was unfortunately met with a little mishap of tripping over a cord on stage but played it off like it was nothing, embarrassingly bowing as a thanks once completed with a flustered face.

that little clumsy moment was thankfully cut out of any videos from the company and now here jihoon is, a member of xempire, specifically the x.dynmite unit, living up to his dreams, following in his mom's footsteps of being an idol. there had been other clumsy moments of jihoon but that just happens in life, whether it's a physical klutz moment or he'd misspoken in some way, it's alright, after a bit of embarrassment. here he is, maknae of xdynmite, enjoying his time with his hyungs and other friends.
