Early life
Moon Se-yoon was born on May 11, 1982 in Jungnang-gu, Seoul, weighing 4.5 kg at birth. He was known in his neighborhood as a mischievous child. As a young boy, he would often wear a red toy car set and put on headphones, entertaining adults by singing songs such as Cho Yong-pil's "Empty Space." In high school, he was nicknamed "400 Won" because he often had only 400 Won in his pocket but still managed to entertain his friends and be the group's comedian. He also participated in a program called "Chasing the Stars." On this program, he received an award for his impersonations. Moon has mentioned that this experience was an early influence, contributing to his decision to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. He has stated that the positive reception he received for his performances during this time encouraged him to explore his comedic talents further.{{Cite web |title=[문화]우리 국민 모두가 웃는 그날까지~ |url=https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/033/0000007955?sid=103 |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=n.news.naver.com |language=ko |archive-date=April 17, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240417010805/https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/033/0000007955?sid=103 |url-status=live }}
