⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ࣪𓂃 ˖ ࣪ 𖠵ˎˊ˗ . . . JEONG DONGHYEON, known professionally as ZEN, was born as an only child to a high school couple on December 4th, 1999. Throughout his childhood, he was primarily raised by his paternal grandparents as his mother was kicked out of her home when she was pregnant with him. His parents were gone most of the time, working hard to finish their studies, and after graduating, spent most of their time working instead of raising him. As Donghyeon grew, it was obvious that he had a thing for music, courtesy of his grandparents. They made sure that he could develop his dancing abilities more, paying a private tutor to teach him and later encouraging him to audition for KQ Entertainment when he was sixteen years old. He passed the audition and trained there for three years, even training with the pre debut group that had then been known as KQ Fellaz. However, in May of 2018, he suddenly left both the group and the company, instead signing with STARBORN CREATIVE. This sparked rumors and speculation among fans, which were never addressed. Donghyeon went on to train for a few more months before debuting in WANDERLUST.
