About Onew
Lee Jin Ki, also known as Onew, was born on December 14, 1989, in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. He was raised by parents who spent most of their time absent; they were busy working in a meat shop. Onew was discovered in 2006; he was found by Lee Soo Man, owner and founder of SM Entertainment, during a Girls' Generation showcase debut. Lee Soo Man had noticed him and wanted to listen to him only once instead of letting him do an audition. Onew ended up signing a contract with SM Entertainment sometime later.
