Steven was born to a military family before he was adopted. He has modeled for various ads and commercials both in Argentina and Korea. He grew up in Orange Country, California. During his high school years he spent some time at the International Christian School in Pyeongtaek, South Korea where he participated in the popular Korean television series known as Dream High. He was later offered a contract through JYP Entertainment, one of the most successful agencies in South Korea. The agency wanted Steven to train to be in a new boy band. He would have learned to speak and sing Korean more fluently. He declined the offer to go back to the states where he later decided to join the Air Force in 2012.
