Born on April 6, 1997, this idol admitted to performing without any preparation.

According to koreaboo, Mingyu auditioned for Pledis Entertainment by singing the national anthem of South Korea. Of course, Mingyu did not dance while singing. Instead, he only clapped his hands to the rhythm of the song. Furthermore, Mingyu also performed with simplicity by wearing flip-flops.

Fortunately, Pledis Entertainment was still able to see the talent and potential that Mingyu possessed. Despite his simple appearance, Mingyu was able to pass and become a famous idol as he is today.
