Career

2013–2017: Pre-debut

Jeong's first public appearance was in 2013, as a contestant in the third season of K-pop Star. He passed the first round of auditions with a performance of his original song titled "Mom, Wait a Minute" (엄마 잠깐만). One of the judges in the show, founder and former JYP Entertainment CEO Park Jin-young, praised the musical form of the song and likened him to AKMU, who were the winners of the second season of K-pop Star. Starting from the third round, he competed as part of the duo Something (썸띵) with fellow contestant Kim Ah-hyeon. The duo reached the finals but was eliminated during the first round of live performances. In July 2014, three months after the show concluded, Jeong signed a contract with Starship Entertainment.

In 2017, he represented Starship Entertainment in Produce 101 Season 2 alongside fellow trainee Lee Gwang-hyun.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Jeong Se-woon” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jeong, Se-woon and South provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16746002. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2017, 2013 and 2014.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
