LOONA’s Hee-jin Trainee Days

Hee-jin was born as Jeon Hee Jin on October 19th, 2000, in Bundang District, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. She is the youngest of three daughters in her family. Hee-jin realized that she wants to become a singer when she was in middle school. At one time, she shared similar dreams with both of her sisters, but they remained unfulfilled. She has stated that one of the reasons she became a singer was to make her sisters’ unfulfilled dreams come true and has cited her sisters as being her biggest supporters. For this, she traveled four hours distances in order to attend a dance academy. Her father began discouraging her dreams of becoming a singer after she was rejected at 20 different auditions.

However, in 2015, she was cast through social media by BlockBerry Creative and became a trainee. Hee-jin trained for one year before she was selected to be the first member of the agency’s upcoming girl group, LOOΠΔ.
