About JunHao

Wen Junhui (Jun) and Xu Minghao (The8) are SEVENTEEN's China Line — the two Chinese members of the thirteen-member group that debuted under Pledis Entertainment in 2015. Both are members of SEVENTEEN's Performance Unit, known for exceptional dance ability and a physical, expressive approach to choreography. Being the only two Chinese members in an otherwise Korean group gave Jun and The8 a natural bond forged through shared language, cultural background, and the unique experience of being Chinese artists navigating the Korean idol industry. Their closeness on the group's variety and reality content — particularly Going Seventeen, where they often speak in Chinese together — has been a consistent source of affection in fan communities. JunHao is one of SEVENTEEN's most recognised ship names. Both members have also pursued solo and parallel projects in China, which has periodically brought them into shared public attention outside of SEVENTEEN's main Korean promotional schedule.

JunHao is a beloved ship within SEVENTEEN's Carat fandom, celebrated for the warmth of the China Line's shared identity and the visible comfort Jun and The8 have with each other. Their shared background as Chinese performance artists in a Korean group gives the pairing a dimension that goes beyond standard idol shipping.
