Imaginary Call From NCT Jaemin

Jaemin was born in Jeonju, South Korea, on August 13, 2000 as an only son. He grew up in Seoul and attended Incheon Cheong-il Elementary School, then Incheon Haewon Middle School, and then on to the Seoul School of Performing Arts. As a child, Jaemin was involved in speed skating and was ranked 2nd at the national level. He also dreams of becoming a surgeon because he watches the show Mysteries of the Human Body.

However, his talent in the entertainment field has been seen since he became a commercial star in 2008 as a 'hoop boy'. This ad is a re-enactment of the 1988 Seoul Olympics where a boy runs while rolling a hoop.

In 2013, Jaemin became a trainee at SM Entertainment after being spotted by a talent scout while helping his mother volunteer to distribute flyers and clean up trash. With his busy training activities, Jaemin left the School of Performing Arts Seoul to concentrate on his career in the entertainment field.
