BIOGRAPHY

Han Jisung was born on September 14th in Incheon, Seoul. At the age of 9, he moved to Malaysia with his parents, where he was homeschooled. He became interested in rap and composing songs at an early age. His inspirations were hip hop artists such as Epik High and Zico. He also became interested in singing through Zion T’s “Two Melodies”.

Han Jisung moved to South Korea at the age of 16 to take the Korean university entrance test. His dream was to become a singer, so he decided to stay in South Korea and made an agreement with his parents. If he is not accepted into an agency within a year, then he will have to move back to Malaysia and study there.

Han Jisung and his friend heard about JYP Entertainment's monthly casting. Originally, the two of them just wanted to walk by and see if they could meet a celebrity, but then Han Jisung himself took part in the casting as a rapper. After a few days, he joined the agency.

Ende 2016 gründete Han Jisung die Hip-Hop Unit 3RACHA mit den anderen beiden Trainees Bang Chan (“CB97”) und Seo Changbin (“SPEARB”). Er selbst nutze den Stage-Namen "J.One". Innerhalb dieser Unit konnten die Jungs sich von einer ganz anderen Seite zeigen. Über das Jahr 2017 veröffentlichten sie gemeinsam selbst geschriebene und selbst produzierte Songs auf Soundcloud. Später arbeiteten sie sogar mit großen Namen wie SKI-HI zusammen und waren das Feature seines Songs JUST BREATHE (2022).

Am 11. Oktober 2017 kündigte JYPE die Survival Show “Stray Kids” an. Es passierte etwas vorher noch nie dagewesenes: In der Show wurde Han Jisung als Produzent, Sänger, Rapper des “Male Group Projects” vorgestellt. Das “Male Project Team” war von Anfang an etwas Besonderes, denn im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen K-Pop-Gruppen wurde es nicht von der Agentur gebildet. Stattdessen hatte Bang Chan selbst das Team aus insgesamt neun Mitgliedern zusammengestellt. Die Mitglieder waren: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Han, Changbin, Felix, Hyunjin, Seungmin, I.N und Woojin.

In the last episode of the Survival Show on December 19, 2017, it was announced that this very group that Bang Chan put together would also be making their debut. However, in October 2019, Woojin left the group for unknown reasons.

DISCOGRAPHY
