BIOGRAPHY

Joo was born in Los Angeles, California to Korean immigrants. The family later moved to Absecon, New Jersey. Joo was raised with a strict Korean upbringing, and learned to speak Korean and adhere to Korean customs. Brian's older brother, Jason, and their parents are employed at casinos in Atlantic City.[citation needed]

While attending Holy Spirit High School, a friend signed him up for an audition with Brothers Entertainment without Joo's acknowledgement. The company has discovered several Korean-Americans who wish to pursue an entertainment career in South Korea. After several months of training, he was sent to SM Entertainment in South Korea, and on December 9, 1999, made his debut as one of the two members of Fly to the Sky, along with Hwanhee, at the age of 17.

Joo later went on to attend Rutgers University, but only completed a single year. Attending school in the States while simultaneously being a recording artist in Korea became too demanding, and Joo decided to cease his education in the States and go to South Korea. While back in Seoul, Joo enrolled in Dongguk University, where he graduated from the Department of Theatre and Film.

He was scouted by a talent agent when he was 16, who recommended him to audition for the Starlight Casting System to become an entertainer.

He successfully passed auditions, and after consideration, his parents allowed him to sign under the talent agency SM Entertainment. Siwon said that although his father allowed him to sign the contract, he would not give any help to his son as he wanted his son to take responsibility in his actions.
