Not shy about the hardships he experienced as a child, this South Korean idol shared that he is an adopted child. BAE173 boy group member Hangyul revealed the surprising fact that he is an adopted child. The owner of the full name Lee Hangyul tells of his surprising childhood as an adopted child from an orphanage. 

However, he said that this story is not something to be mocked. In an interview video uploaded on the IDOL OLYMPIC YouTube channel in 2020, Hangyul, who appeared as a guest star, talked about his life from childhood to becoming a K-Pop idol.

He said that initially, he did taekwondo from elementary school to junior high school, but then suddenly he couldn't do the movements he usually did. "It got to the point where I wanted to do something else. Finally in 3rd grade of junior high school, I entered a dance contest with my friends," she said in the video, quoted Friday December 27, 2024.

After the competition, Hangyul admitted that he received offers to become an idol trainee from seven different labels. Thinking that he couldn't do anything else after quitting taekwondo, Hangyul then chose to try becoming an idol with his mother's support.

Not only about his early days in the K-Pop music industry, Hangyul also told the story of living in an orphanage until he was in 1st grade. Despite experiencing difficulties as a child, Hangyul considered this experience not something to be ashamed of.

"I'm living well anyway, I want my friends from the orphanage to be more confident after seeing me talk about this on TV," he said. Furthermore, Hangyul then shared the story of how he came to be adopted by his current parents. 

He revealed that his mother had volunteered at the orphanage where he was, and Hangyul first met her when he was 6-7 years old. "She took good care of me and I liked her, then I was transferred to another orphanage and separated from my mother. 

She didn't know where I was transferred to, then searched for me until she found me a few months later, and kept coming to visit me," Hangyul said. Hangyul then revealed that he felt uncomfortable in the orphanage and wanted to get out immediately. 

His mother finally found a good opportunity until Hangyul was finally adopted by her. The 1999-born idol also proudly talked about his mother, saying that she is a very kind person. Hangyul explained that he was adopted after his two adopted brothers went to college.

"After raising them and sending them to college, he suddenly took me and went back to raising another child," she said. The mother is known to be very supportive of Hangyul's idol career, she has even been known to attend her son's activities such as concerts. Hangyul himself is known to be competing in an idol survival show titled Starlight Boys.
