Early Life[]
Na Junghwan was born in Seoul, South Korea. From the tender age of four, it was clear to everyone that Junghwan was made for the cameras. When he was six, his parents had eagerly signed him up for as many photo shoots as possible. He was a natural in front of the cameras and had become somewhat of a known name amongst many insiders within the modeling industry as an enigmatic and cooperative child model. By the time he was fifteen, Junghwan had become a popular face to see in photoshoots, whether it be modeling for clothes, products, or even video games. Due to his extremely carefree nature, he saw no issue with how he seemed to be getting deal after deal, not realizing that a majority of them were done simply because his parents were rich enough to pay for them.
At sixteen, Junghwan opened a social media account for better and for worse. With the opening of his own Instagram account, he was hit with an instant wave of popularity that only skyrocketed him further into stardom. Unfortunately, he had also become aware of the various rumors and stories that people had formulated about him, from being an industry plant and nepo baby to being simply boring and unappealing. Hurt, he decided to use his platform as a way to negate such claims, thus doing as many things as he could to satisfy all the haters. He quickly learned, however, that it was simply better to ignore them all and focus on himself.
In 2020, Junghwan signed with TrialStart Studios initially as a model for their magazine, WONDACE Magazine. Later, he was picked up to work directly for the magazine and company under a joint contract.

Junghwan has been a model ever since he was six, and he still continues to partake in projects to the present day. He later signed with TrialStart and WONDACE Magazine at 19 for modeling.
In 2022, there were rumors circulating that a talk show, with Junghwan as the host, was in the works; however, these claims were never addressed at the time.
On September 13, it was officially announced that Na Junghwan, alongside Kim Jiyoung, Lyla Yang, and Li Jian, would be the hosts of the talk show, HARMONY HAVEN, which aired on the 30th of the same month. After the first season aired, Junghwan returned to working for the magazine, alongside his own work online.
He eventually began shifting his working portfolio to a more creative outlet after his work on HH, having joined a freelance creative team for upcoming music acts. His recent works include concept leading and directing for Takahashi Chinami's TWEET mini-album, and OWLLIANCE's social media marketing for their 1st comeback in OWLDYSSEY.
