Personal life

Jinho was born in Bucheon, South Korea on April 17, 1992. When he was seven, his family moved to Daejeon. At the age of 15, he lived in Qingdao, China, for eight months due to family and work before settling in Seoul.[3][4]

He decided to become a singer after watching Brian McKnight and Johan Kim perform a duet of McKnight's "One Last Cry."[5]

Career

2008–2014: Everysing win and SM the Ballad

In 2008, Jinho won first place in the SM Everysing Contest. He later became a trainee through SM Entertainment's casting system in the same year.

In November 2010, Jinho, under the name "Jino," made his debut as a member of SM the Ballad alongside Super Junior's Kyuhyun, Shinee's Jonghyun, and TraxX's Jay.[6] The group had great reception, and their debut EP Miss You reached number one on the Gaon Album Chart.[7] He was then preparing to debut in another group, but plans fell through and the group was ultimately not formed.[1] Jinho did not participate in any further activities with the agency after promotions for SM the Ballad concluded that year.

In 2015, Jinho left SM Entertainment and began working as a singing tutor at Modern K Academy.[8] Modern K Academy encouraged Jinho to audition at Cube, as their CEO has close connections with Cube Entertainment and had a hand in creating Pentagon, being in charge of talent development.[9] In February, he was part of a vocal project group, Seorin-dong Children (서린동 아이들) with Hui and another female singer. They released a remake of Lee Won-jin and Ryu Keum-deok's 1994 classic "For All the New Lovers". The group wasn't originally supposed to consist of them, but after receiving a good response from Cube Artist Development for the recorded guide, the company decided to release it on streaming sites.[10]

Making it through the audition process, Jinho participated in Pentagon Maker making it to the final lineup and debuting with the group on October 10, 2016.[11][12]

In 2017, Jinho started a personal project titled "Magazine Ho" releasing covers in various genres and languages on the last of each month. With this project he has worked with and featured other artists such as CLC's Sorn, (G)I-dle's Jeon So-yeon, HYNN, and band mates Hongseok, Shinwon, Hui, Kino, and Yeo One.

On March 17, 2018, Jinho held his first mini live concert which is a part of his 'Magazine Ho' cover songs project.[13]

In September, it was announced that Jinho would star in the musical Iron Mask as Raul, the son of Athos who admires his father and dreams of becoming a royal general. The musical ran from September 13 to November 18 at the Kwanglim Art Center, Seoul. He rotated the role with musical actor, Shin Hyun-mook and actor Yoo Hyun-seok.[14]

On December 17, 2018, Cube announced his second mini live concert "Magazine Ho Vol.2 - Ready Ho" would be on the 19th of January 2019 at Ilchi Art Hall, and it sold out in seconds.[15] Members Hongseok and Kino were present as special guests during the concert.[16]

Jinho was cast in his fourth musical, Goddess is Watching You.[17] He played as the role of an innocent and pure North Korean soldier Ryu Soon Ho, who overcomes his trauma due to war with the belief in a goddess. The musical ran from November 14, 2019 to February 26, 2020 at the Daehangno Arts Theater in Seoul.[18]

Jinho held his 3rd solo mini live concert, "Magazine Ho Vol.3 - Off Stage" on January 11, 2020.[19] Due to high demand from fans, Cube entertainment added an additional date to the concert. Jinho is set to open the first performance on January 10 to meet more fans.[20][21] He sang an unreleased song, "Gravity" together with member Kino which was composed and written by Kino.[22] Members Hui, Hongseok and Yeo One were also present as special guest.[23][24] In March, Jinho appeared on Mnet's music talk show Studio Music Hall 2. He was introduced as "high note terminator" performing a duet of Kim Kwang-seok's "At About Thirty" with Hui.[25]

Mandatory military service

As part of his mandatory military service, Jinho enlisted as an active duty soldier on May 11, 2020.[26] Jinho prepared a small gift, "I'm Here", a self-composed solo song for his friends and bandmates who are running toward their dreams. Jinho explained, "When people are faced by exhaustion and discouragement, they bring back the old self of the day when they first dreamt of a dream. I hope that the voice of Pentagon's Jinho with the words 'You are doing great, so don't worry', will comfort everyone who listens to this song."[27] The song was made before he enlisted,[28] and only available through WE:TH physical album.[29]
