Pre-debut

[edit | edit source]

Baro was first discovered by a company representative who came across his photo posted on his friend's homepage on social network service Cyworld. At his audition, Baro sang Sumi Jo's "Once I Leave" and Sung Si-kyung's "The Road to Me", in addition to rapping and beatboxing.[1][full citation needed] Baro then joined the company, training for at least 2 years before debuting.

[edit | edit source]

On June 30, 2018, WM Entertainment confirmed that Baro and Jinyoung had left the agency following the end of their contracts. Their activities with the group remain in discussion.[5][6] In November 16, WM Entertainment has announced that B1A4 members Jinyoung and Baro will be leaving the agency, with the remaining three members—CNU, Sandeul, and Gongchan—to continue promoting as B1A4.[7]

On November 8, 2023, it was announced that Baro had signed a contract with Media Lab Seesaw (SISO), following the expiration contract with HODU&U Entertainment.[8]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

On June 5, 2013, while preparing for B1A4's follow up single "Starlight's Song", Baro strained his ankle ligament. Initially, the group was going to adjust its promotional tour depending on Baro's recovery. However, because his recovery took longer than they had expected, the What's Going On Tour ended earlier than planned.[9]Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 1.
