The Boyz’ Lee Juyeon went viral in a dance cover of Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy and is part of ‘The Boyz Bermuda’ with K-pop bandmates Younghoon and Hyunjae
The K-pop triple threat walked at 2017’s Seoul Fashion Week and is an MC for SBS MTV’s The Show – but he wanted to be a basketball player before his debut, even playing in the Gyeonggi Youth Basketball Tournament
Netizens have also dubbed Juyeon and his bandmates Hyunjae and Younghoon “The Boyz Bermuda” after the Bermuda Triangle. Fans of the group, The Bs, are of the opinion that anyone who falls into “The Boyz Bermuda” will be lost there due to the three members’ stunning visual appeal – much like the fabled ocean zone, although less deadly.
As Juyeon celebrates his 23rd birthday on January 15, here are five things you need to know about him.
He’s the sportiest member of The Boyz
However, there’s one sport that eludes him – beach volleyball. In TV show Come On! The Boyz: Summer Vacation RPG, he failed to pass the ball over the net … but succeeded in receiving it with his face.
As a kid, he dreamt of being a basketball player or a pilot
During his early years as an idol, Juyeon was open about wanting to be a basketball player. He liked playing basketball when he was younger and played in the Gyeonggi Youth Basketball Tournament.
Fans were surprised to see that he wore a pilot costume during his Whiplash performance with The Boyz. He told The Bs that he also dreamed of becoming a pilot, as the thought of flying is thrilling to him.
