Jung Min Joo (born on October 11, 1990), simply known as JOO, is a South Korean singer and actress.
Joo spent her childhood in Indonesia because her father worked in Indonesia before and was one of the contestants in 'Superstar Survival' alongside 2PM's Chansung, Taecyeon and Junho in 2006 when Junho was crowned as the winner. Although she didn't make it, she got accepted to be a trainee at JYP. She has a younger brother Jung Ilhoon, who debuted in a seven-member idol group BtoB under Cube Entertainment in 2012 as the singer/rapper. She has graduated from Dongguk University in Division of Theater.
On January 10, 2008, JYP Entertainment stated that they will debut a new solo singer, Joo. She made her debut stage on January 11, 2008 with her single "Young Girl" in KBS Music Bank. In 2008, although Joo had already made her debut, she thought that she was not ready yet so she trained for another 2 years before making her comeback in 2011.
On January 3, 2011, Joo released her new much-awaited comeback video, titled "Bad Guy" which featured 2PM member Chansung in her official YouTube channel. The single is part of her new album titled Heartmade.
On January 7, 2011, she made her comeback stage on KBS Music Bank with her single "Bad Guy". On May 12, 2011, Joo released another teaser video with a new song titled "Ice Cream" featuring Super Junior's leader Leeteuk. The music video was released days later on May 16, 2011.
On May 23, 2011, JYP Entertainment officially announced that JYP artists will come together for two “JYP NATION in Japan 2011” concerts in Japan in August 2011. The star-studded line-up includes Park Jin Young, Lim Jeong Hee, Wonder Girls, Joo, 2AM, 2PM, miss A, and San E. The two concerts are scheduled for August 17 and 18 at the Saitama Super Arena, and tickets will go on sale on June 1 at the Hottest Japan mobile site.
