HYBE’s New Boy Group? Netizens Speculate A Senior Actor’s Son To Debut Under BTS’s Label Soon

Netizens believe that a senior actor’s teenage son is set to debut as a part of HYBE’s upcoming boy group.

After Zico announced that he will be debuting a new boy group under his label KOZ Entertainment, fans started closely monitoring his social media to keep an eye out for any possible hints about the prospective members. KOZ was acquired by HYBE in 2020.

The group is called BOYNEXTDOOR, which was recently announced as the name of Koz Entertainment’s upcoming boy group.

Best known for his work in historical dramas such as Taejong Yi Bangwon and The Merchant: Gaekju 2015, Jung Tae Woo has two sons, Jung Ha Jun, and Jung Ha Rin. Ha Jun, the older brother, is speculated to be a HYBE trainee, and after Jang’s Instagram activity, netizens now believe that he will be debuting as a member of BOYNEXTDOOR soon.

On June 25, 2022, Jung Tae Woo’s family guested on KBS’ television show Home Man, where Ha Jun got a lot of attention for having similar visual features to BTS member Jin.

Ha Jun, who is just 14 years old, has already captivated people with his visuals, and fans are looking forward to witnessing his other skills as an idol.
