Jang Yeojun

Jang Yeojun (장여준) took the long road into CLOSE YOUR EYES. He appeared on Wild Idol, Boys Planet, and finally JTBC's Project 7, where he finished sixth and turned years of public trainee footage into a real debut under Uncore on April 2, 2025.

That history is why Yeojun feels more durable than a standard rookie edit. He already understood how to perform for broadcast, recover from elimination pressure, and keep building a fan connection over time. Since debut he has been part of Eternalt, Snowy Summer, Blackout, and the 2026 single Overexposed, while also widening his profile as an Show Champion MC.

Even with a temporary 2026 health pause for rhabdomyolysis treatment, his appeal remains clear: live-TV composure, strong performance discipline, and the kind of steady screen presence that tends to age well once a project group moves past its launch window.
