Previously, ENIPENE‘S Jay he shared that he was picked up by another company before joining BigHit entertainment. He trained there for a month before leaving due to personal circumstances. Jay trained privately for a couple of months before successfully auditioning for BigHit Entertainment. After that, he moved on to debut ENIPENE Through ICELAND.
Fans were curious to know which company it was. The truth has finally been revealed No Pogi with NCT‘S Jungwoo AND MONSTA‘S I’ll show it. Since Jungwoo is coming SM EntertainmentJay brought up the fact that he trained at SM Entertainment after being picked up by them.
Wow, I think this is the first time I’ve officially said this.
Jongseong meets SM on the street, the company he was chosen for.
It was a time when I had no passion, but after being kicked out, my passion was born and my parents supported me. After leaving SM, I entered a dance academy, worked hard, and debuted after Belif Lab contacted the academy. pic.twitter.com/CEwWuFOv4P— Jjangbae (@zzangbae_) December 7, 2024
I received a casting offer from [Jungwoo’s] agency. It was a good opportunity because I was at an age where I wasn’t passionate about anything. For the first time, I felt something with passion, so even my parents told me: “well, then you have to do it.” So they gave me their support and after that I left [SM Entertainment]I worked hard for a few months at a dance academy, and my current company came to visit the academy and I attended a public audition, and that was it.

Even though he could have debuted with NCT given his age group, we can’t imagine Jay in any group other than ENHYPEN!
