“Sino ito? (Who is this?)

JOHN, was born on September 25, 2007 in Davao City in The Philippines. Growing up, he went to beaches almost everyday, since his house was near the beach. He made many friends at the beach, but ended up actually having contact with 2-3 of them. JOHN is very social. He’s not scared of embarrassment at all. That was how he made a lot of friends at the beach. He recalls drinking a lemonade with his friend group at the beach at 13, and always would go up and down in the waves. It was his comfort place, the beach. His parents really trusted him alone, which was why he felt so free. He volunteered in selling cool drinks on the beach during the summer. In school, eventually, he joined a swim team, then joined a swimming competition, and won 2nd place. To this day, in his old school, they have a picture of him in the boy’s locker room. His first idea for a career was to be a professional swimmer, since he was so good at it. But, he switched to a singer, since many of his friends said he had potential. At 15, he went through JYP Entertainment’s training for up until he was 18. He trained for about 2-3 years, until he was ready to debut. He waited for an open spot, till J.Y. Park told him that there was a variety show, named “NEW ME.” He joined and met the others in the group he is in now, CHEESE FRIEZ.
