Career

Early life and debut

Hyungwon was born in Gwangju, South Korea on January 15, 1994.[1][2]

Prior to his debut in Monsta X, and while still a trainee at Starship Entertainment, Hyungwon worked as a fashion model for various fashion shows, including the W Hotel and Ceci Fashion Show in 2014.[3][4]

Beginning in December 2014, he competed in Mnet's survival show No.Mercy, through which he debuted in the new hip hop boy group Monsta X.[5]

2015–2019: Monsta X, DJ work, and other solo activities

Hyungwon debuted with Monsta X with the 2015 release of their first EP Trespass.[6][7]

In 2016, Hyungwon appeared in K.Will's music video "You Call It Romance", where his performance gained praise for giving the music video a drama-like atmosphere.[8][9]

The following year, in 2017, Hyungwon made his official acting debut with Please Find Her, airing on KBS2. Hyungwon played the supporting role of Jeon Ik-Soo.[10]

Also in 2017, Hyungwon began activities as a DJ, using the stage name DJ H.ONE. His first single was in collaboration with DJ Justin Oh, titled "BAM!BAM!BAM!", which featured fellow group member Joohoney.[11] That year, he and Justin Oh also performed together at "Ultra Music Festival Korea" (UMF) and at KCON Japan 2017. He released a single as part of his work on the show Mix and the City, with Justin Oh as producer, titled "1(One)".[12]

In 2018, he once again featured at UMF.[13][14] In July, he released a single in collaboration with Dutch DJ Jimmy Clash "My Name (feat. Talksick)", after the two met at UMF.[15][16][17]

Hyungwon collaborated with Hongbin and the producer dress for Pepsi's The Love of Summer: The Performance, releasing the song "Cool Love" on July 10, 2019.[18]

2020–present: Expanding in songwriting

In 2020, Hyungwon participated in the writing, composing, and arranging for the song "Nobody Else" for Monsta X's album Fatal Love.[19] He collaborated again with Justin Oh for the track, and it is the first song in which he was involved in each aspect of the song production.[20] The song was noted for showing Hyungwon's musical range when composing music, being so distinct in style from his EDM tracks as a DJ.[21] In January 2021, the song charted at number ten on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart.[22][23]

In June 2021, Hyungwon and Minhyuk were selected as new cast members for Youtube channel Inssa Oppa. For the show, the two transformed into different "sub-characters" for each episode to introduce the latest trends and G-Market global shop products in entertainment format.[24]

In July, Hyungwon with other Monsta X members' Shownu and I.M joined Pepsi's Taste of Korea summer campaign, releasing a promotional single "Summer Taste" alongside Rain, Brave Girls members' Yujeong and Yuna, and Ateez members' Hongjoong and Yunho.[25] Hyungwon has also been selected as new model for WELLAGE.[26]

In August, MBC's Idol Radio announced its second season to begin airing on August 9th, with Hyungwon as a DJ alongside group member Joohoney. The program is live streamed through Universe and aired through MBC Radio.[27]

In November, Hyungwon starred in KakaoTV's musical web-drama Fly Again as Han Yo-han, his first lead role. The drama revolves around how he changed his dream from being a genius dancer to becoming an idol upon meeting the school's dance club "Villainz".[28][29] In December, he also participated in an OST for the drama, titled "Picture", which is a dance song.[30]

In March 2022, Hyungwon and Minhyuk returned for the sixth season of Inssa Oppa. For this season, the two focused on a concept of "what if" and perform situational plays on various themes, moving freely to any desired time, such as the past, present, and future.[31] He tested positive for COVID-19 on March 28.[32] On March 30, Hyungwon donated 10 million won through Yeouldol, a non-profit organization that helps children with rare diseases by donating together with Derma cosmetic brand.[33]
