More about Kim Woonjin and his activities
Before joining JYP Entertainment, Kim Woojin was a trainee at SM Entertainment for a year and practiced alongside the members of NCT. However, in 2017, he was revealed as a JYP Entertainment trainee and subsequently debuted in the K-pop group Stray Kids. He was part of their official debut mini-album, I Am Not, and also took part in its main track, District 9, on March 26, 2018. Subsequently, he also went on to play the lead role in HBO Max's romantic fantasy series, My Magic Closet.
In 2019, he parted ways from the boy band and ended his exclusive contract with the agency for personal reasons. He then went on to sign with a newly formed company titled 10x Entertainment and debuted as a solo artist. He released his first mini-album, The Moment: A Minor, and its lead single, Ready Now, on August 8, 2021.
However, following his exit from Stray Kids, he was accused of sexual misconduct by an anonymous Twitter user. The artist consistently denied the accusations and sued the perpetrators for defamation. Upon further investigation, it was found that the accusations were fabricated by two Brazilian nationals. 10x Entertainment released a documentary titled Finger Killers, in which they follow false accusations made against Kim Woojin.
