Tan member Jooan releases a special gift for fans this holiday while in military service

Originally starting his career in the music and entertainment, Im Ji Myoung (but has legally changed it to Im Joo An), would go on to debut in the South Korean Boy Group [ We In the Zone ] underneath the stage name ‘Jooan’. The group itself would slowly introduce itself and the members to the public in fun and original prologue film teasers, showcasing the members personalities and charms, Jooan would be introduced with his prologue film on May 17th 2019. Showcasing his creative dance skills to the music and powerful energy. 

Throughout this time of prologue films that would release, the public would be introduced to the members of ‘WITZ’ (We In the Zone) which included: Eson, Kyeongheon, Min and Shihyun. Later, they would eventually debut on May 27th 2019 with a album of the same name. 

Throughout their career, fans would fall in love with their playful and warm personalities as they would develop their sound and figuring out who they wanted to be as artists. From catchy and fan beloved tracks; Let’s get Loud, Better, Bet on Me, Fly Up, Loveade, Love Love Love and many more. It was clear the group had talent and something to prove, bringing smiles and comfort to fans across the globe. Sadly however, Kyeongheon would be the first to answer fans worrying questions about the group in a personal statement in 2021 informing that they have left the company and the group has disbanded. Although giving the news with a heavy heart, Kyeongheon would ask for fans forgiveness and love for the members in their new paths. (View a translated statement here.)

For Jooan, he would end up competing in the 2021 Extreme Debut: Wild Idol. A show that will evaluate contestants based on their physical stamina, skill level and hidden potential as they take to the outdoors and battle for the chance to debut. Throughout this time, Jooan would become known for his funny antics with the trainees/members, loveable character and so much more. 

As the show slowly would come to an end and the members rankings and debut team would be revealed, Jooan would get the chance to debut in the final group: TAN (To All Nations) as the Main Vocalist and Lead Dancer. The group itself consisting of seven members: Changsun, JaeJun, Sunghyuk, Hyunyeop, Taehoon and Jiseong. The official lineup would be revealed on December 16th 2021 and would later debut the following year with their first mini album [ 1TAN ] on March 10th 2022 including releasing a pre debut Japanese mini album on December 26th 2023.

Although their contract with Think would end in 2024, and with the members and fans hopes for another reunion to perform together, many of the members would go back to old activities/ groups or solo promotions, while some would enlist in military service. On June 1st 2024 he would inform fans he would be enlisting in the army band and will be discharged December 31st 2025.
