Jeon Minwook

Jeon Minwook (전민욱), also known to many early fans as J-Min, is the leader of CLOSE YOUR EYES and one of the clearest examples of how prior idol mileage can become an advantage instead of baggage. Before the JTBC survival circuit reset his public narrative, he had already debuted in a competitive boy-group market, which gave him sharper instincts around pacing, camera control, and how to stabilize a team under pressure.

That experience became central to his Project 7 run. Minwook did not enter the show as a blank trainee. He entered as a performer who already understood the cost of a debut and the importance of using a second opening well. Finishing third gave him a place in CLOSE YOUR EYES, where he now anchors the group's rap line and leadership structure under Uncore.

What makes Minwook compelling now is the combination of steadiness and urgency. He leads a rookie team, but he does it with the sense of someone who knows how hard a durable career is to build. That perspective gives his work on releases like Eternalt, Blackout, Snowy Summer, and OVEREXPOSED more weight than a standard survival-show afterglow.
