TXT’s Soobin’s Pre-Debut
We have seen some basic info and interesting facts about Soobin. But let’s get back to the time when Soobin wasn’t the leader of TXT. You probably wonder how did Choi Soobin become Soobin the K-pop idol that we know from TV or the Internet? How did his parents let their youngest child leave the hometown for Seoul? Don’t worry too much, let’s see the full story of Soobin from his pre-debut era, here! Soobin was born with the name Choi Soobin or we can just call him by his given name, Soobin, which is also his stage name. Soobin was born and raised in Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do. Soobin was born on December 5th, 2000. He spent his childhood and teenage years in Ansan. He lived in Ansan along with his parents and his older sister and brother. Soobin’s oldest sibling is his sister who was born in 1990, who is 10 years older than him, while his second sibling is his brother who was born in 1994. In his home, Soobin is not only the youngest family member but he also has a huge age gap with his siblings. As a child, his older sister and brother took care of him so much. They accompanied him while playing in the playground. Soobin also said that his older siblings literally lifted and fed him a lot when he was little. If Soobin wanted to go to the raccoon café to see a raccoon, his brother would take him there. Soobin is really spoiled since he was so little while the other family members had grown up. Even so, it didn’t stop Soobin to grow up to be a good child. When Soobin was younger, he didn’t dream of becoming a singer, he wanted to be a Korean teacher instead. That’s why he remembered the correct spelling really well. Even now, he uses certain words pretty well too and helps his members such as Huening Kai with Korean words. Soobin started to dream of becoming a singer when he was in junior high school. Soobin went to the stage of a music festival along with his friends. They were dancing and singing on stage. At that time, people who watched them paid a lot of attention and appreciation. Soobin really enjoyed the vibe and it made him want to be on the stage again. Since then, he dreamed to be a singer. With a huge will, Soobin started to take classes in singing and dancing. When he was ready, he recorded his action and sent the clip to the company. Unlike some other idols who just went to the audition, Soobin just emailed the company his clip along with his contact number and waited for the response. However, the company didn’t reach out for quite a long time. Soobin almost thought that they didn’t accept him, but then he finally got a call. He passed the audition, after quite a long time of waiting. Since he was curious, he asked the staff who called him what took them so long to inform him. It turned out that Soobin put the wrong number, so the one that they called was the wrong number at first and it took time to find Soobin’s number. That’s the story that took him to Big Hit Entertainment, the agency of BTS. Soobin, who was still in high school at the time, should be proud of his achievement. But he didn’t want to brag. Instead, he was afraid that he will be kicked out of the company and didn’t make it. He asked his parents to keep it a secret and don’t tell anybody about the fact that he was a trainee at that time. Not even his close friends, not even neighbors. Gladly, Soobin was included in the debuting team, which soon included him in the line-up of the upcoming boy group. It was so great that Soobin finally made it, knowing the fact that he had to leave his parents and high school for Seoul. But he didn’t just make it, he made it really big with Big Hit Entertainment.
