Origins & Early Life

Jang Do-yoon (Korean: 장도윤, born August 31, 1995) is a South Korean actor. He made his acting debut in the 2013 drama special Happy! His fans are called "Doflowers" or "도바라기" which combines the words "Doyoon" and "Sunflower". Doyoon went to Namsan High School in Busan before he moved to Seoul in 2011. After moving, he transferred to School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA), where he later graduated on February 13, 2014.

Career & Major Achievements

Doyoon was a trainee under Pledis Entertainment for 3 years, where he was an original Pledis Boy (a name given to the male trainees officially shown). The group of boys, which included members who would later join Nu'est and Seventeen, commonly appeared with their female label mates in their promotions, including Ceci Magazine and their SBS Gayo Daejeon stage. They also appeared in Happy Pledis', the name used when Pledis artists promote as a whole, video for "Love Letter", and promoted the song with Happy Pledis on Music Core. In 2012, Pledis Boys was split into two groups, Nu'est (JR, Aron, Minhyun, Ren, & Baekho) and Tempest (Doyoon, Seungcheol, & Yusang), with both groups to debut in 2012. Tempest gained two new members, Jihun and Youngwon, and were put on the backburner as Nu'est was promoted more heavily.

Enduring Legacy & Impact

Pledis Boys as a whole released a limited magazine entitled "Pledis Boys Magazine". Nu'est debuted a week after the magazine's release, while Tempest went through lineup changes. Members Yusang and Youngwon departed, leaving Doyoon, Seungcheol, & Jihun. Tempest's plans were scrapped and the three were sent back to trainee status. During the year, Doyoon appeared in multiple videos for his labelmates, including the debut music video of Nu'est and Hello Venus' debut teaser and debut music video.
