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 groupmate Jooheon.[11] That year, he and Justin Oh also performed together at "Ultra Music Festival Korea" (UMF) as well as 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]

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