“何それ！？ (What the fuck!?)”
HARPER OGAWA, stage name HARPER, was born in Fukuoka, Japan on July 6, 2006. Growing up, his parents always argued, and often lashed out on him. That was partiality got his grumpy attitude he has today, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be happy and passive. His elementary school often bullied and teased him for no reason at all. To the point where he felt hopeless, but he didn’t resort to suicide or self-harm. He just wanted to move away from the school. When he was 3, he moved to Tokyo, next to MINO. HARPER was already relived that he left that school, but he was even happier when he realized he had a neighbor friend! At first, he hated MINO because of how energized he was, but he got used to it. To this day, he never told MINO that he used to hate him. They were basically childhood best friends when they were 5-6 years old. They would always go out into Tokyo’s city central by themselves to go shopping or just to walk around. When HARPER entered middle school with MINO at 13, he’d expect to get bullied again since he had trauma from the last school, but it was the complete opposite. He quickly gained popularity because of MINO. They were basically the faces of the whole school. During his time in school, he actually had a crush on MINO for a month, but never told him ever since. Only YEHO knows. When MINO told him about his plan to be a K-Pop idol, HARPER encouraged it! He said that we can be a duo together. So, whatever time they had free, they took it as a practice to dance and sing. They also took that time to learn English and Korean. When they think they were ready, they flew to South Korea. When they got there, they trained for 2-3 years. HARPER stated in his debut video that it was pretty hard and tiring, but he still persevered through it. MINO and HARPER were put into a variety show, and met YEHO. During the variety show stage, YEHO started to bond with them more. After debut, his bullies from childhood started sending apologies, but instead of forgiving, he rejected their apology. As for his middle school, they celebrated! They even lit up the school into green and blue as a honor of MINO’s and HARPER’s debut.
