Jung Joon-young dreamt of becoming a rock star when he was young, turning it into a goal around the age of 17 whilst he taught songs to children in the Philippines. Because his father was an international businessman, Jung was born and raised in many different countries.
This has led him to be somewhat proficient in several languages: English, Chinese, Tagalog, Korean, and Japanese.

The mainstream public fell in love with Jung through the show Super Star K Season 4, however, Jung was making music long before theprogram. He was even supposed to debut as a member of the rock idol group LEDApple, however that didn't work out in the end. He went on to create his own band "Flowermist" (later re-named "Switch-on"), which performed in small clubs theatres and on the streets of Japan. He wasn't a stranger to modeling and TV as well.

It was Jung and his band that auditioned for the Korean talent search program, Super Star K, but after the first round, Jung ended up proceeding alone. He made it into the final rounds, finishing third overall.

Since then, Jung has signed with CJ E&M, having modeled, appeared on variety shows, brief stints on dramas, and hosted his own radio program. After such activities, the singer finally released his first debut mini album in October of 2013. The title songs shot up the music charts.

The young talent has since then been promoting not only his music, but becoming a familiar face on variety shows, even being cast as a pretend-married couple on the popular show "We Got Married".
