Joshua studied at an elementary school in Los Angeles, where he was born. He also attended high school or special high school in downtown Los Angeles.

The school was named Downtown Magnets High School, and Joshua finished school in 2014.

After graduating from high school, he became a student at Pledis Entertainment and was trained for two years and two months, along with Jeong Han.

It seems that Joshua is just a child, and his parents are still living together. He is always happy to make his parents proud and he is a child who is very devoted to his parents; he said his dream was to make his parents happy by being happy and doing what they support. Not much is known about his parents because Joshua is young and doesn’t reveal a lot about his family.

He is fluent in both English and Korean, because he speaks Korean when at home with his parents, but speaks English at school. Although he considers English as his mother tongue, Joshua is quite fluent in Korean (it’s just that he doesn’t write it – he’s bad at it!). He grew up in a Christian family in Los Angeles and his family goes to church every week; Joshua found his singing talent and began singing in the church.

After seeing how people were touched by his singing and the appearance of the song, he realized that that was what he wanted to do. So, at the time of the audition, he did his best, and he ran away.

Hong Jisoo, better known as Joshua Hong, is a member of the SEVENTEEN Vocal Unit. He was born in Los Angeles, USA, and he grew up there and attended school there too. At a very young age, Joshua discovered his musical talent and decided to play the guitar. He was very good and practiced a lot on his guitar skills, which he used to make cover songs and make up some new ones as well. He realized that he wanted to become a singer after singing in his family’s church in LA when he ended his great audition after he finished singing.

Joshua is known as the most gentle member of SEVENTEEN because he is rarely angry, and always smiles and has a positive outlook on life. He speaks very softly and is talkative, so being around him made us feel like we have found a best friend!

One of Joshua’s other qualities is that he cannot ask for mercy or comment on people; his past attending church and growing well might have an impact on his life now; his attitude cannot be a joke.

Joshua likes to play too – he used to love football, and also watched the animated program “Adventure Time.”

The only drawback, as he said, was that the dance was bad – he didn’t think he could make his bandmates proud with slow dances and it was difficult to accept dance moves.

However, everyone likes Joshua even though the dance is bad, and they even help him not to care about anything; a very good friend of his is Jeong Han because both of them are very close, more so than the other members.

Jeong Han, one of the members of Seventeen, and Joshua consider each other as brothers, and they even have a partner name – ShuJeon.

Joshua is not known to date anyone at this time, but he has mentioned several times about what attracts his attention in a girl.

Because Joshua is very attentive and kind, he likes to be with someone who looks like him. He also laughs, so he doesn’t mind having a cute girlfriend, but it’s also important that his girlfriend always smiles and has honesty.
