Childhood
Son of a famous painter and a talented violinist, youngest of three brothers.
Everything was about art and hard work in the Ahn household.
Minseok loved singing and acting, yet his parents considered that him studying theatre was the only option.
So he joined a theatre club. It was fun, but Minseok didn't feel like he belonged there.
His older brother is the main dancer of the National Ballet, and the other is the youngest director of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra - both of them widely known in the artistic world.
It was difficult to compete against his older brothers when they seemed to have it all.
When he got scouted at the mall, Minseok thought it was a joke or a scam. He still accepted the card, wondering if he could use it at some point.
The opportunity arrived sooner than he had thought, and tired of following what his parents wanted, he called Golden Media and landed an audition.
Training years
Barely thirteen and the youngest trainee in the company, Minseok had a hard time.
He was quiet and minding his business, a bit lost among so many older boys and girls he didn't know.
It was difficult to share his space with so many other boys, but he got used to it.
Following a schedule with school and training was easy for him, since it was something he had done his whole life.
But soon he became the baby, and everyone looked after him.
He trained as a rapper for many years, but a year before his debut, the company decided for him to become a vocalist instead.
He was added to a five-member group called ELIXIR, and he began following the leader around.
He was a baby when he debuted, barely sixteen, and absolutely not ready to become an idol.
Group Debut
He was sixteen when ELIXIR debuted, the golden maknae and main vocalist.
The young boy had a voice that many would kill for, and because of that, three of his four members didn't like how many lines he got.
So they made it difficult for him, always telling him that he wasn't as talented, that his lines ruined the songs. They gave him a hard time because of his dancing and stage presence.
But Minseok did his best to move forward, doing what it was asked of him. And it worked, of course. He became a fan favorite and people loved it.
Three members of the group left barely a few months after their debut, in the middle of the preparations for their Japanese debut.
They sued the company and made sure everyone knew they were leaving because there was favoritism in the group.
Minseok thought it was all, but Golden Media, however, knew he was talented and refused to let go.
Solo Debut
Barely a few months later, completely rushed and unexpected, Minseok debuted as a solo act.
The concept was very much like what ELIXIR had been doing. And considering how popular he already was, it did very well in sales and even got a few wins that ELIXIR had never reached.
Although he went into direct competition with Fleur, a close friend, he still put up quite a fight.
With only two members (the leader and the maknae), ELIXIR re-debuted as a duo, and surprisingly, they did better than expected.
So poor Minseok was both a solo act but also a part of a duo, which made him work hardest than others.
it didnβt last long. Soon his leader decided to go public with his relationship with a non-celebrity woman.
The dating scandal was worst than Golden Media thought, so again in a need of distraction, Minseok debuted as an actor in 2016 as the 13th Prince Wang Yoo in Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.
It seemed all of it was going well for him, if only too busy.
Drama roles kept landing in his hands, and his music was doing better than before. It was nice, and Minseok realized that maybe this was the way things were supposed to be.
However, when his ELIXIR member got married and Golden Media had to deal with the backlash they received, trying to protect their artist as well as the company itself.
Minseok was not surprised when another project knocked on this door.
He joined Infinite Entertainment's soloist Michelle in the three-member subunit VI3E as the main rapper.
It was his chance to prove that he could rap, even if it was the only position Golden Media could get him in such short media.
It was too much for one person, and Minseok got tired of being used as a distraction.
Sadly, just a few months later, ELIXIR was disbanded without any grace and released a goodbye single.
Minseok was now a soloist artist, and knew he had to appreciate the chance he was given. He loved being on the stage, he loved singing, and he wasn't going to give up.
Merge
If he has to be honest, the merge didn't affect him much.
When he joined Infinite Entertainment, he thought being the distraction would stop. Spoiler alert: it didn't. He was still everywhere and overworked as always.
He was happy that he got to be in the same company as many artists and friends he admires.
He filmed a drama with Tidal's Moon Danbi. He was the third lead in the first season, but thanks to their great chemistry together and because the public seemed to love them, he has become the main character for the second season.
Tour
He was actually pretty excited about this tour because he would get to work and travel with those he loves so much.
It was fun at first, but he's growing restless with how exhausting it is.
He has been pressured to release music because other artists have been doing so.
He was so interested in one concept and had to fight until he got to do it, now he's working on preparations for his comeback. He's actually pretty excited.
He has been spending a lot more time with people he thought had forgotten about him, so he's very happy about that.
If there was something he never expected, it was to realize that his feelings for his best friend Park Yunjin weren't platonic anymore. It took them a while, but the babies are dating now.
He debuted in a subunit with KAISO called KING.
Part of the REING project - the one he shares with Michelle, Fleur, and KAISO.
Present
Minseok spend the few first months after coming home to rest.
Has decided to take a break from acting to focus on his musical career.
