Hwang Min-hyun (Korean: 황민현; Hanja: 黃旼炫; born August 9, 1995), known mononymously as Minhyun, is a South Korean singer, songwriter and actor. Hwang Minhyun was discovered by South Korean entertainment agency Pledis Entertainment at the age of fifteen. After two years of training, Hwang debuted as a member of boy group NU'EST in 2012. In 2017, he represented Pledis Entertainment in the survival series Produce 101 Season 2 along with three members of NU'EST, with him finishing in ninth place and becoming a member of Wanna One.

Career[]

Pre-debut[]

Hwang became a Pledis Entertainment trainee through scouting. Prior to his debut, he became more well known after appearing in Orange Caramel's music video for their single "Shanghai Romance".[4] He also made appearances in labelmates' music releases as a member of 'Pledis Boys'.[5]

On 15 March 2012, Hwang debuted as a member of NU'EST.[6]

He also appeared at the 2012–13 Seoul Fashion Week as a model for designer Park Yoon-soo's fashion show 'Big Park'.[7]

In 2015, Hwang was featured in indie artist Fromm's new track, "Aftermath".[8] In 2016, Pledis Entertainment released Minhyun and JR's music video for "Daybreak", which is part of NU'EST's fifth mini album Canvas.[9]

2017–2018: Produce 101 and Wanna One[]

In 2017, NU'EST halted all promotions while JR, Baekho, Minhyun, and Ren participated in the second season of the series Produce 101.[10][11][12]

In the third episode of the series, Hwang picked the members for 'Sorry Sorry Team 2', for which he was nicknamed 'producer' and 'CEO Hwang' by online commenters.[13] In the "Position" challenge, he covered I.O.I's "Downpour" and the view count of his fancam reached 1 million within three days.[14] In the "Concept" challenge, he was the center of "Never" team, which charted at number one in multiple music charts.[15] At the end of the program, he ranked 9th, becoming one of the final 11 members to debut in Wanna One. In accordance with the series’ contract, he promoted exclusively as a member of Wanna One for the duration of the group's contract of 1.5 years.[16]

2019–Present: Return to NU'EST and solo projects[]

While Hwang’s Wanna One contract officially ended on December 31, 2018, he did not officially return to NU'EST until the end of January 2019.[17] This was due to Pledis and Swing Entertainment coming to an agreement that allowed him to attend scheduled year-end shows and award ceremonies throughout January 2019 as a member of Wanna One.[17] His final Wanna One activity before returning to NU'EST was a final concert (titled Therefore) that was held across four days, ending on January 27, 2019.[17]

Hwang, along with the rest of NU'EST, announced their contract renewal with Pledis Entertainment on February 1, 2019.[18][19]

On March 15, Hwang participated in his first song since returning to NU'EST, a special digital single "A Song For You" to celebrate the seventh anniversary of their debut.[20]

On April 3, Hwang released a digital solo single "Universe" as the pre-release single from the group's first comeback since 2016, Happily Ever After.[21] The single is accompanied by the music video shot in Budapest and Milan.[22]
