Through the use of detailed accessories and delicate expressions, he showcased a wide range from a chic and hip mood to a bright and playful appearance, creating different atmospheres in each cut and revealing his side as a gravure artist. His impressive visuals, characterized by a sharp jawline and prominent nose, also drew admiration. In a cut with freckle-focused makeup, he displayed youthful beauty. Since debuting as the main vocalist of MONSTA X in 2015, Kihyun has captivated many music fans with his explosive singing ability and diverse vocal spectrum. In 2022, he began solo activities with his 1st single 'VOYAGER' and 1st mini-album 'YOUTH,' performing at various music festivals and expanding his presence. After his discharge from military service in February this year, he participated in major Korean music festivals such as 'SOMEDAY PLEROMA 2025' and 'PEAK FESTIVAL 2025,' reaffirming his capabilities as a solo artist. In July, he showcased a deeper musical color with the OST Part.1 'SURF' for the SBS drama 'TRY ~We Will Become a Miracle~,' and in his first regular appearance on JTBC's variety show 'Ryu Student Oh Nam Seong,' he displayed the charm of a sexy man cooking. Kihyun recently successfully completed activities for MONSTA X's new mini-album 'THE X,' reaffirming his strong presence. With this selection as the CGP model, expectations are rising for Kihyun's activities as an 'all-rounder artist' continuing in music, variety, fashion, and more.
