Early life and education

Lomon was born on November 11, 1999, in Uzbekistan, to parents of Koryo-saram descent.[1][2][3][4] As a child, he and his family lived in Russia and later moved to South Korea.[4] Finishing his elementary in South Korea, Park completed his secondary studies at Apgujeong High School, located in Gangnam District, Seoul.[5][3]

In an interview, he explained the meaning of his name: "I don't have a religion. I heard that my father built it with the intention that he wanted me to live wisely while reading the Bible at that time. I am working hard with the given name. I will live wisely."[6]
