Woozi, formally Lee Jihoon but informally the musical mastermind of Seventeen, was born in 1996 in Busan, South Korea—a city known for its beaches, seafood and occasional production of musical prodigies. As a child, he immersed himself in music, mastering instruments like the guitar and diligently studying the art of sound, presumably while other kids were busy figuring out how to dodge homework. Joining Pledis Entertainment, Woozi became the main producer for Seventeen, crafting an endless stream of hits from the confines of his studio—a place he seems to inhabit like a wizard in a tower, except with better Wi-Fi. His quiet, determined nature and towering talent (despite being, ironically, one of the shortest members) remind kids that passion and hard work can turn even the smallest person into a giant of creativity.
