## History

### Early Life

Jerem was born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA on September 22, 1985 as Jeremiah Park to an American mother and a Korean father. From a young age, he showed a strong interest in gaming, winning a local gaming competition at a mere 10 years old.

He went to college at Worcester State University in Massachusetts and majored in communications, though reported it was a struggle.

After graduating, he went through multiple odd jobs, such as a middle school substitute teacher, working at a call center, being a wedding filmographer, as well as working other retail jobs.

### 2011-Present: Internet Career

Jerem began his internet career in the summer of 2011 where he uploaded Team Fortress 2 and Grand Theft Auto 4 gaming videos as well as the occasional comedy skit. He began branching out into other games and more content in general in the following years.

In 2016, he moved to Twitch and began livestreaming more regularly while uploading the VODs to the YouTube channel 3ndJerem.

Over the years, he became infamous for his surreal comedy, iconic memes, strong fanbase, and large-scale events he put on through the livestreaming format, such as *The Jerem985 Dollhouse*, *The Archeology Stream*, *Jerem League Baseball*, and plenty others.

### 2018-Present: K-pop Career

In 2018, he moved to Incheon to learn more about his father's culture and extended family and quickly became infatuated with the K-pop industry. He worked on his first album in the background while he continued streaming, originally as a passion project for his love of the music scene rather than an attempt at a music career.

In April 2022, he finally released his first studio album *Jerem985 ; the first album*, with the track *Dollhouse* being the promoted tack. Much to his surprise, the album received widespread acclaim, even gaining a fanbase outside of the existing fanbase he had. His surprising acceptance into the industry helped raise awareness for older idols debuting.

## Public Image

Despite his uncanny, unconventional, surreal humor and behavior on stream, he is said to be a very down-to-earth and kind person and has his occasional kind and humble moments on the air. He is noted to be a huge ally for the LGBTQ+ community.
