Early Life and Education

Shěn Quánruì was born on May 20, 2004, in Shanghai, China, into a reportedly affluent family. His Chinese name, Quánruì, translates to “source of wealth” and “sharp”, and his birthday aligns with China’s informal “confession day” due to its phonetic similarity to “I love you” (wǒ ài nǐ).

During his childhood, he moved to Los Angeles, California, due to his parents’ work, where he lived in an upscale area and attended Crean Lutheran High School in Irvine, studying fine arts. Nicknamed “Richy” by classmates for his wealthy background, he grew up with a swimming pool at home and reportedly drove a Ferrari to school.

Ricky is trilingual, fluent in Mandarin, English, and Korean, which he honed after moving to South Korea at 17. He developed an early interest in K-pop, aspiring to become a singer since elementary school, and fondly remembers his elementary school art studio as a creative “hideout” where he painted and bonded with friends. He began attending a dance academy at 14, laying the groundwork for his performance career.

Career

Ricky Shen began his career as a trainee under Yuehua Entertainment, training for 2 years and 2 months before being unveiled as a contestant on Mnet’s Boys Planet on December 29, 2022. The show, which premiered on February 2, 2023, showcased his vocal and dance skills, particularly in the “Over Me” performance, earning praise for his vocal tone and expressive choreography.

He ranked 4th with 1,572,089 votes in the finale on April 20, 2023, securing his debut with ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) under WAKEONE Entertainment. ZB1 debuted on July 10, 2023, with the mini-album Youth in the Shade, featuring Ricky as a lead dancer and vocalist. The group debuted in Japan in March 2024 with the single “Yura Yura” under LAPONE Entertainment.

Ricky has also made waves as a brand ambassador for skincare brands UNISKIN and Kato-Kato, and he attended high-profile events like Gucci Ancora in Shanghai and Sound of Prada in Seoul. In February 2025, he held his first solo fan meeting with Kato-Kato in Shanghai. His contributions include the OST “Running” for I Am A Running Mate (2025) with ZB1 members and “Here I Am” and “Hot Summer” from Boys Planet (2023). His ability to create choreography and his “Young & Rich, Tall & Handsome” persona have bolstered his popularity.
