Jo Juyeon

Jo Juyeon (조주연) is the main vocalist of Seoul-based band V01D, which debuted March 11, 2026 under IX Entertainment. Born May 8, 2000, he brings a musical-theater foundation to an idol band setup, combining trained projection with a clean rock-pop tone that gave V01D one of the strongest vocal signatures among 2026 rookie bands.

Before debut, Juyeon studied in the Acting Department at Seoul Institute of the Arts and trained at MODERNK Academy. He completed mandatory military service before joining the Mnet survival show STEAL HEART CLUB in 2025, where he finished 10th overall and met future bandmate Kevin Park. That route gave his debut story a different shape from the standard trainee-only pipeline and helped establish him as one of V01D's most stage-ready members from day one.

V01D opened its rollout with pre-debut single ROCKROCK (樂樂) on March 3, 2026, then followed with debut mini album [01] and title track Tug of War on March 11. Juyeon fronts the band's emotional peaks, but he is not limited to singing alone. He also plays guitar and has cited Lee Seung-gi as a performance reference, a detail that tracks with the way he balances technical delivery and crowd connection.
