Han Jisung was born on September 14, 2000, in Incheon, South Korea, and relocated to Mokpo at an infant age. His family later moved to Malaysia when he was nine, and he attended Fairview International School for a brief time before homeschooling. This global upbringing broadened his perspective and advanced his proficiency in English, which would serve him in the future when communicating with fans globally. 

Han returned to South Korea when he was 14 years old to pursue a career as a musician, committing to continuing formal education in Malaysia if he did not make it within one year. It was a gamble since he auditioned for JYP Entertainment and became a trainee, setting the stage for a life of K-pop. 

Love Life 

Han keeps his love life private with no official confirmation of dating. Although fans normally would guess that he is in a relationship with Stray Kids member Lee Know, both of them made clear that they enjoy a close friends relationship only. Han keeps his work and personal development as priorities while keeping his love life shrouded in secrecy to remain humble and professional.

Education 

Aside from his trainee life, Han devoted himself to learning by taking and preparing for the Korean Qualification Exam (GED). He refined his singing, rap, and dancing at the Def Music Academy in Gangnam.

Han is a main rapper, vocalist, and prolific songwriter and producer, having collaborated on over 170 tracks as of 2025. He is praised for his versatility in switching between assertive rap to melodic singing and has contributed significantly to creating Stray Kids' distinctive sound on the global K-pop stage.
