BYUN HEEYOON

Byun Heeyoon was born on the 7th November 1997 in Dublin, Ireland. Her parents, Brian O'Donald and Byun Hyori, owned the most popular bar in her hometown, Mullingar. She started to perform in their bar when she was 9 years old, to practice for her dream to become an idol. When she turned 18, she wanted to move to Seoul, South Korea to become an idol, but she didn't have enough money. To earn money, she also started to work as a barkeeper in her parents' bar and after she had graduated high school, she moved to Seoul. Before she auditioned at an Entertainment, she attended a University in South Korea and after a few months of being in South Korea, she heard about a new Entertainment. She decided to audition for it and a few weeks later she was released as MJG Entertainment's first trainee. However, a few weeks after her release, it was announce that she would be training as a Model instead of an Idol, but nobody made an official statement as to why the young girl changed her mind.
