“아니야, 아니야! (Nah, nah!)”
SEONGHYO was born in North Korea on Jul 4, 2011. When he was 8, his parents were excuted because of Kim Jong-Un. He decided to escape by himself. He spent 2 months finding an escape plan. 2 months later, he found the right plan. He packed everything and walked 16 hours to the nearest beach. From Pyongyang to Nampo, 61.12 kilometers. No one caught him just yet. He told himself the exact words, “I don’t care if I drown, I don’t care anymore. If this is how I die, at least I tried.” He suffered from depression and had thoughts of killing himself since his parents died. He jumped in the water, and floated for 4 days in the Yellow Sea. Everywhere he looked, there was nothing. He lost hope. After 3 more days, he saw land, and swam to it. He swam 530 kilometers. He went on the shore, and asked a stranger to let him stay for a bit in Korean. He agreed and became his father for a bit, he took care of him to his best. The stranger was really friendly to him. Jacob told the stranger about his plan to go to the US. The stranger supported him and gave him 1400000 won (1000$) to go to the US, and that he made sure to remember me, the stranger gave him his Instagram. He flew to the US and went to an international school, where he met the others. The others wondered how was it in Pyongyang, and he is often the most special one. Thanks to the stranger, he learned to be nice and he went out of his depressed era. His representative color is green, and his representative item or item is his green visor. His members often call him Kimchijeon because of how much he talks about it. When he went to audition in JYP, he had to lie and say he was from South Korea, rather North Korea, because he is scared.
