Juheon ("JOO-hawn") was born and raised in South Korea. He earned his bachelor's degree from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, where he majored in Chinese literature and minored in business administration. After graduation, he began his career at the Samsung Electronics headquarters in South Korea as part of the Overseas Marketing team. The job required him to travel regularly across Asia and inspired him to study international politics. Juheon earned his first master's degree in international studies from Seoul National University.

Juheon continued his studies in the United States and received his master's degree in political science from the State University of New York at Albany, where he studied nationalism, post-communism, and contentious politics. Juheon pursued his doctoral degree in political science at Northeastern University, where he researched environmental politics and disaster resilience in East Asia under advisor Dr. Daniel P. Aldrich. His doctoral dissertation was entitled "Social Capital in the Face of National Hazards: Community Resilience, Post-Disaster Trust, and Disaster Preparedness in East Asian Societies."
