Born as Prince Vauten on December 30, 1998, in the vibrant city of Seoul, South Korea, Prince was destined to become a multifaceted gem in the world of K-pop. From an early age, he was surrounded by the dynamic rhythms of the city, the flickering lights of bustling markets, and the colorful tapestry of street performances.

Prince's journey into the realm of entertainment was almost preordained. His parents, both accomplished dancers, instilled a love for the arts in their son. As a child, Prince found joy in emulating their dance moves, a preview of the charismatic performer he would later become. His parents' support and encouragement paved the way for his early exposure to various dance forms, from traditional Korean dance to modern hip-hop.

However, tragedy struck when Prince lost his parents in a car accident at the tender age of nine. Despite the heart-wrenching loss, he clung to the art that connected him to their memory. Dance became his solace, his emotional outlet, and a way to carry on their legacy.

Prince's remarkable talent did not go unnoticed. He caught the eye of talent scouts during a local dance competition, and soon, he found himself enrolled in JYP Entertainment. The four-year training period was not just about honing his dance skills but also discovering the depth of his vocal and visual abilities.

As Prince emerged from the shadows of grief, his stage presence became a testament to resilience. The survival show ALL STARS was the platform that would propel him into the spotlight, and fate brought him together with Clark, Asher, and Anton.

The moniker "Prince" was more than a stage name; it embodied his journey from tragedy to triumph. As the Main Visual, Lead Vocalist, Lead Dancer, and Sub Rapper, he became the crown jewel of Seoul. The pain of loss transformed into the strength that fueled his performances, captivating audiences with a blend of emotion and artistry.

Standing alongside his fellow ALL STARS, Prince felt a sense of unity. Each member brought a unique facet to their collective brilliance, and Prince, with his multifaceted talents, became the dazzling centerpiece. Together, they embarked on a journey to redefine K-pop, and in doing so, Prince found not only his place in the industry but also a newfound family in KINGDOM.
