Childhood
At the age of 9, Seaun (セオン) and his older brother, Rafai (ラファイ), joined Johnny's Jr., one of Japan's top talent agencies. Seaun aired on T.V. shows 3 times a week (regularly on a musical show called Shonen-Club and a talk show called Hadaka no Shōnen), performed regularly in concerts and musicals, and modeled for magazines. Both Rafai and Seaun left after spending 2 years in Johnny's. Although they were both gaining popularity, especially Rafai who had released a song with his band I.N.G. and appeared in one of Japan's top kids shows names Ponkiki as a weekly main guest, they wanted to invest more of their time in their education, as the busy lifestyle was eating away at the time they spent in school and working on school related assignments.
Once in high school Seaun joined a different agency named Indigo, well known for developing fashion models. He worked as a part-time model for two years until left Japan for college. As a fashion model, Seaun appeared in local magazines such a Men's Non-no and Rolling Stone magazine, wearing clothes designed by Diesel, Marc Jacobs, Paul Smith and Uniqlo.
