Let’s get to know more about the star and why he wants to have kids.

Who is Jaejoong?

Jaejoong is a successful South Korean singer, songwriter, actor, director, and designer. Born Han Jaejun on January 26, 1986, in Gongju, Jaejoong is well known for being a member of the boy band JYJ, which debuted in 2010 under C-JeS Entertainment and consists of 3 members; Jaejoong himself, Yoochun and Junsu. He was a previous member of the band before leaving.

Jaejoong grew up not knowing he was adopted. His 8 older adoptive sisters didn’t know either. The truth was only revealed in 2005 around the time of his “Rising Sun” release.

In 2006, his father, who had never kept in touch and who hadn’t known about his adoption threatened to sue his adoptive parents. The custody battle that followed was telling. Jaejoong’s birth father later dropped the charges, however, Jaejoong expressed his wish to keep his adoptive name.

Finding out that he was adopted came as a shock but this didn’t demoralize the young Jaejoong or steer him away from his dreams.

Jaejoong’s desire is to see both his families live in harmony with each other as they have always done.
