Yoon Dujun was born on July 4, 1989 in Seoul, South Korea. His dream of becoming a physical education teacher changed dramatically when he was in high school. After seeing MTV's Big Band Documentary, Dujun decided to become an idol. At first, his parents and teachers disagreed, but he convinced them. Soon Yoon Dujun began studying at music school and began to audition. Yoon later became an intern at JYP Entertainmend and was featured on Mnet: Hot Blooded Men. The show featured trainees working hard to become members of One Day (2AM and 2PM). But Dujun was weeded out, like many other interns.
After Yoon Dujun left JYP Entertainment, he became part of Cube Intertainment and rapped for AJ's "Wipe the Tears" and was also a dancer for AJ. On October 16, 2009, he made his debut as the leader of the band Beast and on the MTV show B2ST it was shown how the band members were preparing for their debut.
Prior to his debut, Dujun was offered a role in the sitcom High Kick Through the Roof, but declined as he wanted to focus on his music career. A month after debuting, he became a member of the entertainment show Danbi, which is a segment of MBC Sunday Night. The show was closed, and the last episode aired on August 15, 2010. In 2010, Du Joon starred in the drama More Charming by the Day as well as the family sitcom All My Love.
Yoon Dujun was chosen as a model for advertising jeans brand "Buckaroo" along with actress Shin Se Kyung. He was also a temporary DJ for 2 weeks with the IU singer on MBC FM4U 91.9Mhz, Chin Chin Radio. Dujun and his bandmate Chung Hyun starred in G.Na's music video for "I II Back Off So You Can Live Better."
On August 22, 2018, it became known that Yoon Doo Joon would be drafted into the army from August 24, 2018. Dujun himself wrote a letter to his fans saying he was leaving to do his duty as a defender, beginning the third chapter of his life, and thanking everyone for their support. For this reason, Eat 3 was reduced to 14 episodes instead of 16.
On April 5, 2019, the Idol Agency reported that Du Joon had been promoted ahead of standard time for exemplary service: “After taking office, he showed diligence in carrying out his tasks and set a positive example for other soldiers.” On April 1, 2019, he was promoted to corporal three months ahead of schedule. He promises that he will do his best during the service and return to the fans in good health. Doo Joon serves in the Military Police Division of the 12th Infantry Division.
