Early life[]

CNU was born on June 16, 1991. He has one older sister who is 5 years older than him, making his family 4 members. CNU says that he resembles his mother more. CNU's dream as a child was to be a singer. His mother was a trot singer and his sister did pansori. He learned to play the piano at 3 years old and then decided to learn guitar too.[1] In his school days, he joined a rock band with one of his friends, which led him to discovering his true passion for music. He would often visit Seoul and audition to be a singer with his friends. However, he was always the only one that got the unsatisfactory result. His older sister encouraged him to continue to practice and become even better so he would eventually get a good result.[1]

Career[]

CNU debuted as a member of B1A4 on April 11, 2011 on MBC's Show! Music Core.[2] He was the last member to join B1A4.[3][4] He has said that when he first debuted he felt really awkward and didn't feel like himself. But as time has passed, he feels he has gotten more natural and comfortable with the attention and he doesn't try to hide himself as much anymore.[1] Since then, CNU has been an active member of B1A4. He has also developed a career in the musical theater world as he has been in a couple of shows throughout the years.
