With his brother, he was raised in Hong Kong, his hometown. After being motivated by his father, he began mastering fencing at the age of ten. His father taught him how to fence and assisted him in his learning process. He persevered in his studies of the fence. Later, he joined Hong Kong’s Junior Fencing squad as a saber fencer, finishing 11th in the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. He won the Asian Junior Fencing Championship in 2011.

He attended the American International School in Hong Kong for his education. Wang declined the Standford University fencing scholarship because he had always been interested in music and wanted to pursue music as a career.

He then went on to audition for JYP Entertainment in Kowloon. He passed the audition after a few months and relocated to Seoul for K-pop training in 2011. BamBam, Mark, Youngjae, and JB were among his fellow band members that trained with him.
