After the disbandment of Wanna One, Nathan returned to Pledis and later debuted in boy group AXIS in 2019 as their leader. AXIS quickly became on of the top leaders of the 4th gen, being a completely self-producing group that constantly dominated charts.
Being the older brother to two famous younger sisters, Nathan was a household name in his own right but was able to garner more attention in his career because of his siters. His first sister is the leader of Angelico girl group Sugar n’ Spice, Piper Jeon, and his youngest sister is Lily Jeon, a popular actress and singer in America.

The idol hasn’t spoken much to the media to in recent days but her known idol boyfriend, NCT’s Taeyong, had posted photos on his instagram story of the two hanging out together, Piper sporting a large smile which have some fans reassurance that she was healing from her loss.
