history.
last updated : 00.00.00
section : beginnings + childhood
Joseph Yoo, born Yoo Seokjin, entered on a bright, sunny, spring day in Los Angeles, California. His dad emigrated to America after marrying his mom, a Korean-American, daughter to Korean immigrants. From a young age, Joseph's life revolved around art as his father, a pianist in a local jazz group, and mother, an art curator, provided the foundations for a culturally rich, stimulating environment. Naturally, the young boy was drawn to music and art, fueling his creative spirit at an early age.
In addition, living in a culturally diverse city such as LA provided him with the experience to witness diversity at its finest. However, this meant he faced the occasional stereotyping, mocking, and teasing, but if anything it made him embrace his heritage even moreso.

section : adolescence
And so, his love for Korean music, specifically K-pop would deepen in his teenage years. Having discovered the genre through clips on YouTube and Vine, he became a fan. This prompted the idea of becoming an idol. Since his parents enrolled him in music lessons, they decided to encourage him to seek dance lessons or find a dance academy to join. With that being said, Joseph was able to find a local dance crew based out of LA, specializing in covers, creating sophisticated choreography, and the foundations of dance.
(TW: Death / Health)
However, things weren't always bright and sunny in Los Angeles. The boy discovered his father unconscious in his home studio when he arrived from school. With his mom away at work, nobody, even medical professionals could guess how long he was out. Unfortunately, his father passed away from a sudden major heart attack. Being 15 at the time, Joseph's world had turned completely upside down. His energy fell to an all-time low, and not knowing the reason why his father suffered a heart attack gave the young boy tons of anxiety. What if he was next? His mom? His grandparents? Or even cousins? Time slowly healed his pain, along with his mother and himself both attending therapy sessions. Yet, the only thing that had seemed to work at healing his soul was music. His grief, uncertainty, and love poured into words. Those words would become lyrics for songs that he would channel most of his time into for the next couple years.

section : adulthood+present
As he approached his graduation, Joseph became more confident with his musical abilities, along with gaining more confidence in himself. After graduating, he auditioned and was accepted into one of the original Big 3 companies, prompting his move and first time ever visiting South Korea. He always kept up with his Korean thanks to his parents, friends, and family. So the culture shock was mitigated, but only so much. The weather, the strict, rigorous schedules, and the occasional bouts of discrimination he faced made the first two years rough for him. Despite facing homesickness as well, he stuck through and kept on at it. Having a relationship with a fellow trainee also helped with all the struggles he faced as well. Though it was brief, it was an intense whirlwind of a romance. However, despite any toxicity that occurred during the stint, the two ended amicably.
Not long after, a friend who also left the company contacted Joseph and offered him a chance to audition for the company that they were currently at. Joseph seeing no reason to stay at a company that wasn't debuting a new group any time soon, decided to leave for greener pastures. He would find himself at the biggest company in South Korea, Nova Lux Corp, where he has been training for the last two years.
