Jeonghan is a vocalist in the 13-member group SEVENTEEN, which debuted in 2015. He was the first member to enlist for mandatory military service, finished it in June 2026, and then launched the duo JxJ with bandmate Joshua. Their mini-album DREAMSCAPE and an Asian tour followed in October 2026.
Where they grew up
None of the supplied pages describe where Jeonghan grew up or what first drew him to music, so those details are left blank here. What the pages do show is his path inside the industry: he joined the agency as a trainee at about the same time as Joshua, and the two grew close over the years that followed. By 2018 the pair had already recorded a duet together for a SEVENTEEN special album.

In their own words
“I experimented with a fuller vocal tone than usual and tried different approaches across the songs because I want to keep showing growth as an artist.”
“Since SEVENTEEN has already presented many units, we wanted to find a distinctive identity for the two of us”
“We put a lot of effort and care into this album, and I hope CARAT enjoys our promotions and the new side of us that we have prepared.”
