Early Life and Education

Yunho was born and raised in Gwangju, South Korea, on February 6, 1986. He has one younger sister. Several members of Yunho’s family worked in the legal industry, and Yunho’s childhood dream was to be a prosecutor.

However, he also had a passion for music and dance and formed a dance team called A+ with his friends in middle school. They competed in various dance competitions around the country.

He auditioned for SM Entertainment in 1999 and became the company’s first official trainee. His family, who suffered greatly from the 1997 Asian financial crisis, were initially against his decision to become a singer.

To support himself while he trained in Seoul, Yunho took up various part-time jobs, such as doing snow removal and working as a waiter. He spent most of his high school vacations in Seoul training and only returned to Gwangju for school.

Sometime later, Yunho suffered a hormonal imbalance in his throat and underwent surgery, which affected his vocal cords.

He lost his voice and considered giving up his training. However, he persevered and recovered his voice. He was put in four temporary groups during his trainee years, all later disbanded.

He finally debuted as a member of TVXQ in 2003, along with Kim Jae-joong, Park Yoo-chun, Kim Junsu, and Shim Chang-min. He graduated from Myongji University and Chungwoon University, majoring in postmodern music and film and musical studies.
