Koo Jun-hoe (Hangul: 구준회, born March 31, 1997) is a South Korean singer. He is a member of the South Korean boy group iKON, signed under YG Entertainment.
He appeared on the 2013 Mnet reality survival programme WIN: Who Is Next as part of "Team B", competing against other YG Entertainment trainees for the chance to debut as a group. He went on to appear in the 2014 follow-up programme Mix & Match, which determined the lineup of iKON, along with bandmates B.I, Bobby, Jinhwan, Donghyuk, Yunhyeong and Chanwoo.
Koo Jun-hoe made his first television appearance at the age of thirteen, on the SBS reality programme Star King. In 2011, he appeared on the first season of SBS's K-pop Star where he made it to the fourth round of auditions.
Junhoe joined YG Entertainment in April 2012. As a trainee, he appeared as a member of "Team B" on the reality programme WIN: Who Is Next, which was aired on Mnet in 2013. The programme was a 'survival' show in which two teams of YG trainees, Team A and Team B, competed for the chance to debut as a boy group. Both teams competed in three rounds consisting of a song arrangement, dance performance, and original song composition. The winning team, Team A, was determined via public vote, going on to debut as Winner.
In 2014, YG Entertainment announced that the members of Team B would be returning to compete in a second reality survival show, Mix & Match, with the possibility of debuting as part of a new seven-member boy group. While three members of Team B- B.I., Bobby, and Jinhwan- were confirmed for the lineup of the new group, Junhoe was one of the three Team B members that would compete against each other as well as three new trainees- Jung Chan-woo, Yang Hong-seok, and Jung Jin-hyeong- for the remaining four places. Junhoe was the first trainee announced as a member of the new group, iKON. The group debuted in October 2015.
