Mingyu’s journey to becoming a member of Seventeen is the sort of tale that feels like it should involve magical amulets, cryptic mentors and at least one dragon. Born as Kim Mingyu, he demonstrated an alarming propensity for being good at everything he tried—drawing, modeling, acting and generally making everyone else feel a bit underachieving. This talent eventually landed him to Pledis Entertainment, where his transformation into a bona fide idol began. Over years of relentless training, Mingyu polished his singing, rapping and charisma to levels so dazzling they probably should come with a warning label. Now, as an integral part of Seventeen, he combines his magnetic stage presence and artistic flair with the sort of effortless charm that makes fans worldwide wonder if he might actually be powered by stardust and sheer improbability.
