Huang Renjun was born in Jilin, China, on 23 March 2000. Growing up in northeast China near the Korean peninsula, he was exposed to the Korean language and culture from a young age, allowing him to grow up bilingual in Mandarin and Korean.[3] He was inspired to pursue a career in K-pop by the boy band Exo, particularly by the international success of the group's Chinese member Lay.[3] He graduated from the Beijing Contemporary Music School with full marks in 2020, alongside his future NCT bandmate Chenle.[3]
