## Career

Jung Moon-sung was born on January 13, 1981. Initially, he pursued music due to his passion for singing. However, he later enrolled in Soonchunhyang University where he studied theatre and film. It was during this time that he discovered his interest in acting. He took a year off from college to prepare for his debut as a singer, but he had to enlist in the military.
While serving in the military, Jung contemplated his career options and wondered if he could combine his love for singing and acting. He recalls thinking, "Is there a way for me to sing and act at the same time after my discharge from the military?" Fortunately, soon after his discharge, he had the opportunity to audition for the musical Subway Line 1 [ko]. He passed the audition even before graduating from university. This musical marked the beginning of his career as a musical actor.
