The unknown truth about ITZY members – Ryujin
Who is Ryukin?
Shin Ryu-jin was born on April 17, 2001 in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. He is a rapper, best known as a member of the K-pop girl group Itzy managed by JYP Entertainment=. She is the main rapper of the band and often plays a central role in the performance. She was previously a contestant on the show “Mixed Nine”.
Ryujin’s net worth
As of the beginning of 2020, Ryujin’s net worth is estimated to have exceeded 1 million U.S. dollars, which was obtained through a successful career as a rapper.
Although Itzy is a relatively new K-pop group, they have gained a lot of attention in Korea and their fame has begun to spread to other countries.
Early life and career start
Ryujin grew up in Seoul and aspires to become a Korean idol since he was a child. She started auditioning for various companies and was eventually noticed by YG Entertainment, which is known for dealing with various international pop artists such as iKon, Big Bang, and Winner. They have also hosted 2NE1, Epik High and Seven before.
Her discovery led to her being selected for the reality TV survival TV show “Mix Nine”, in which YG founder Yang Xianshuo traveled the country looking for potential K-pop stars.
In the end, nine men and nine women were selected, and the winning group got the chance to debut as an idol. She performed well in the competition and was among the best among girls. However, the women’s team ultimately failed to defeat the men’s team, which means that the contract will be given to the men’s team. Ryujin is one of the many members of the future girl group Itzy, who failed in their first attempt in this industry.
Dragon
Due to lack of traction and support, Mix Nine has never officially appeared.
The formation of Itzy
Like Liu Zhen, Cailing was previously a contestant on the show “K-pop Star 3”, and later participated in the reality show “Sixteen Years Old” designed to select the upcoming members of the girl group Twice, but she was unsuccessful. Another member, Noyoshi, was a contestant on the “Fan” program, but was eliminated in the fifth episode.
After leaving YG, Ryujin signed a contract with JYP Entertainment, one of the largest such companies in the country and the hometown of artists such as Twice, Got7, JJ Project and 2PM.
Before their debut, in addition to Lia, the future members of Itzy also participated in a reality show called “Stray Kids”, continuing the trend of JYP programs for trainees to fight against established JYP combinations. The show successfully attracted attention to this group of girls.
In 2019, JYP announced that the new girl group will debut, this is the first time since the launch of Twice in 2015.

A trailer was released shortly after, showing all five members of this new group called Itzy. Ryujin joined other members Lia, Chaeryeong, Yuna and Yeji during the unveiling and subsequent debut.
Itzy’s success
Just a month later, Itzy released their first album “It’z Different”, which featured the single “Dalla Dalla”.

Then, they produced their first extended play (EP) called “It’z Icy”, which included the lead single “Icy”. They soon began their premiere tour in Asia called Itzy? itch! Hosted their first performance in Indonesia and traveled across Asia before expanding the tour to the United States.
“Dalla Dalla” was certified by the Korean Music Content Association (KMCA) Platinum and became one of the best songs of the year. The group subsequently won numerous awards at the Mnet Asian Music Awards and Melon Music Awards, including Best New Female Artist. In 2020, the band began a tour of the United States, starting in Los Angeles.
personal life
Ryujin is still young and single-she has not focused on romance yet because she is still developing her career with Itzy.
Her busy work in the team also means that she has almost no time to do other things, even if the management allows it!
She likes pets and owns two cats. She also likes salty and spicy food, but her first choice snack is mocha coffee. Her favorite movie is “The Privilege of Wallflowers”. In her free time, she likes to engage in photography. She is closest to Yeji in Itzy because the two share a room in the group dormitory.
