Adorable former 'YG Treasure Box' contestant is now all grown up and making waves on 'Show Me The Money 12'

A former contestant from the JTBC survival program 'YG Treasure Box', known for his adorable visuals and surprising rap skills, is now all grown up and making waves on Mnet's 'Show Me The Money 12'!

Jung Jun Hyuk, a Korean-Canadian born in 2005, was known by fans as one of the three "baby" contestants of 'YG Treasure Box' (aired from 2018-2-19) along with TREASURE's So Junghwan and P1Harmony's Jongseob. 

Despite competing on 'YG Treasure Box' at the age of 13, he left a strong impression with a "legendary" duet performance, where he competed against TREASURE's current leader, Choi Hyunsuk. 

Now, 8-years after 'YG Treasure Box', Jung Jun Hyuk is of legal age and competing to show his stuff on 'Show Me The Money 12'!

After catching the eye of producer Zico during the audition round, Jung Jun Hyuk once again stood out during the 60-second death round on the second episode of 'Show Me The Money 12', aired on January 22 KST. He pulled through the death round by receiving an 'All-Pass' from all 8 producers, instantly becoming a viewer favorite as well. You can watch his performance from this week's episode of 'SMTM12', below.
