A beloved idol couple has become a hot topic after announcing that their young daughter is preparing to debut as a K-Pop idol.
Former H.O.T member Moon Hee Jun and former Crayon Pop member Soyul, a beloved idol couple, recently shared the plan for their daughter’s future while answering questions from fans on their YouTube channel.

When asked if their daughter, 9-year-old Hee Yul, was interested in auditioning to become an idol, Moon responded, saying that she was. He explained that he had initially planned to send her to an academy a few years later, but given that she appeared ready for the training, she would be attending an academy starting this year.
Moon added that his daughter will start auditioning only after she reaches a desirable level of training under professionals. The former idol also mentioned that he was fully aware of the prices one has to pay for pursuing an entertainment career. Recalling his own trainee days, Moon Hee Jun revealed that he used to practice 12 hours a day, every day, and was able to debut only because of that level of hard work. He also talked about the necessary sacrifices, mentioning that Hee Yul might have to miss out on things like pajama parties to pursue this dream.

This confession from Moon has been received with enthusiasm from Korean fans, who felt that Hee Yul had more than enough credentials to make it as a success story in K-Pop.

- “Total idol material. She inherited the best looks from both Mom and Dad—and if she even got just half of their dad’s talent, she’d likely have incredible star quality.”
- “She is great at facial expressions, and her footwork is good too!”
- “Cute.”
- “She’s so beautiful. It looks like she inherited only the best features from both of them. Absolutely adorable.”
- “Turns out, idols marry each other and give birth to idols.”
However, some international fans expressed their skepticism at this, arguing that it was irresponsible of the parents to let such a young child set foot into the K-Pop system while being fully aware of its exploitative nature.
Meanwhile, Moon Hee Jun and Soyul got married in 2017, and the couple has one son and one daughter. They frequently update fans about their family life through their YouTube channel, JAM2 HOUSE.
