Background

Born to a Thai father and a Chinese mother, Nichkhun was initially brought up in California, United States[2]. At the age of two he moved to Thailand with his family, but moved back to the United States to finish schooling in Los Osos High School in Rancho Cucamonga, California. There he was scouted by Park Jin-young at K-pop celebrity, Rain's concert.

After passing the audition hosted by JYP Entertainment, he signed an eight-year contract with the company [3] and was brought to South Korea as a trainee, being put into a class of 24 other students. Park Jin-young informed him that he was required to learn Korean and Mandarin Chinese, to also work out regularly and learn dance. [4]

Horvejkul participated in JYP's talent competition, Superstar Survival where he took the role of the host.


2007: 2PM Debut

In August 2007, JYP revealed a list of 12 trainees that were said to debut in a large boy band. However the boy band, One Day, was split into two smaller sub-groups. Nichkhun was put in the group's second counter part, 2PM. On 4 September, 2008 the group debuted with their dance number, "10 out of 10."
