About
Nam Joo Hyuk was born on February 22, 1994 in Busan, South Korea as an only child. At the age of 16, he moved to Suwon. His family had difficult times in his youth; he remembers to eat only instant ramen during the totality of his third grade in school and didn't even have a bathroom at home.
