Career

=2006–2009: Beginnings=

Upon making it into college, Joo Won's father came up with the stage name Joo Won for him as the Hangul pronunciation of the name sounds similar to "God-willing".

With his love for singing, he became involved in Frees, a co-ed television performance group formed by SBS as part of a children's TV program. The show premiered in 2006, but Joo Won left the show quickly thereafter.{{cite web|script-title=ko:주원 프리즈 시절, 아이돌 출신?

This musical role was a first of many to come, as he later appeared in other musicals, namely Singles, Grease, Sinsangnam and most notably, Spring Awakening.

Originally, Joo Won was the understudy for Melchior in Spring Awakening. However, the original actor who played Melchior left the musical midway through the production, thus allowing Joo Won to perform later on in the production.{{cite web|url=https://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=101&oid=008&aid=0002242680|script-title=ko:"난 기억여행의 길잡이"|website=MT News|date=29 November 2009|language=ko}} His performance in Spring Awakening caught the attention of his future agency, Sim Entertainment.

=2010–2012: Rising popularity and breakthrough=

Joo Won first appeared in the 2010 television drama Bread, Love and Dreams as the antagonist to the titular character. King of Baking, Kim Takgu recorded high viewership ratings of over 50%, earning "national drama" status, and Joo shot to fame.{{cite web|title=Joo Won: 'I Achieved My Dream with Rookie Male Actor Award'|url=http://www.hancinema.net/joo-won--i-achieved-my-dream-with-rookie-male-actor-award--37388.html|access-date=2013-10-19|date=11 January 2012|work=HanCinema}}
