Happy 29th Birthday to the gorgeous, hugely talented Rapper, Singer, Songwriter, Composer, Dancer, TV Host, Superstar, Top Model and Fashion & K-Pop Global Icon, the One & Only MINGYU!👏🎂🥳🎉🐐👑🎇❤️‍🔥
#MINGYU became famous as the main Rapper, Vocalist, Visual & Face Genius of the hugely popular top-selling, history-making K-Pop Group #SEVENTEEN! He's one of the best-looking guys in the world and a multitalented powerhouse, ranking 6th on Billboard's Top K-Pop artists of 2025! As lead rapper in SEVENTEEN's Hip-Hop Unit, he drops catchy, rhythmic verses while smashing dance breaks with powerful, fluid moves and natural charisma, proving tall idols can absolutely own the stage! His deep baritone voice and husky rap add rich contrast and smooth groove to SEVENTEEN's tracks with frequent standout moments and melodic flair. Mingyu shines as a true creator, having penned the lyrics on over 57 tracks since his debut and composing 12, while stepping up big with his first solo masterpiece “Shake It Off”, fully writing and composing the catchy banger. He also dropped sub-unit smash hit bops with S.Coups as CxM, making history with their 2025 EP ‘HYPE VIBES’ as the record with the highest first week sales by a K-Pop sub-unit!
Mingyu has been key to SEVENTEEN's success around the world, drawing massive global attention with his powerful stage presence, sharp dance moves, deep rap tone and consistent all-rounder energy, making every performance pop and turning casual viewers into dedicated fans, helping the group dominate charts and tours!

Mingyu joined Pledis in 2012 and trained for four years, starring in Seventeen TV from season one, showcasing raw training, singing, choreography, and games on Ustream.

The EP debuted atop the South Korean Circle Albums chart and the Oricon daily and weekly albums charts, certified Gold instantly, and reached #2 on the Billboard US World Albums chart and #71 on the Billboard 200!

Mingyu is a Fashion Icon and one of K-pop’s most in-demand ambassadors, with a powerful mix of global and regional deals due to his charisma, massive popularity and huge marketing power! In 2022, he was the star guest of the big Cartier event in Seoul and was later featured on the cover of Dazed Korea's December issue rocking their jewellery! That same year he became the ambassador for Lancome. In 2023, he was announced as the new global model for Korean skincare brand Innisfree.

In January 2026, he blew everyone away at Paris Fashion week, dominating the Menswear Fall/Winter 2026–2027 show rocking Dior, earning #1 Media Value (over $9.9 million USD), his second year as the highest ranked among other artists and the top male celebrity! With his incredible magnetism and genuinely nice character, Mingyu is the Press's Idol and the People's Prince wherever he goes!

Mingyu quietly embodies kindness through his involvement in SEVENTEEN’s major charitable efforts! Seventeen celebrates the group's anniversary each year by donating to charitable causes. In 2017, Seventeen participated in "Letters from Angels" as part of its 15th anniversary, raising awareness for orphans and single mothers by displaying photos with celebrities to promote adoption. On their 3rd anniversary, Seventeen worked with 1st Look magazine to design and sell personalized T-shirts made by the members, donating proceeds to those in need. Ahead of their 4th anniversary, Seventeen donated to a campaign by ChildFund Korea providing housing support to children in need under Carats. Mingyu with Seungkwan personally designed the signboard that they also gave! On their 5th anniversary, the group donated to children and adolescents in need, specifically supporting education for youth and in 2020, they collaborated on a limited-edition of eco-friendly bracelets with proceeds going donated to the Plastic Bank organization to help preserve the environment! In 2021, the group donated to the international humanitarian non-governmental organization Good Neighbors to assist children who have been victims of abuse. In 2022, Seventeen made donations via UNESCO to help children in Africa and Asia receive an education! On their 6th anniversary, Seventeen made a donation to the international humanitarian non-governmental organization Good Neighbors to assist child victims of abuse in their recovery and psychological treatment and restoration of their daily lives at home. On their 7th anniversary, Seventeen made donations to the underprivileged around the world to commemorate the seventh anniversary of their debut. The group's donation went to the UNESCO Korean National Commission's Global Education Sharing Project to help those such as children and teenagers in Africa and Asia receive an education. Seventeen also donated 1 BILLION KRW through the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association in March 2025, to help the victims of the wildfires that occurred in the Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam regions! Fans also organize Mingyu’s Day donation drives in his name, inspired by his gentle, generous spirit. His warm influence amplifies SEVENTEEN’s impactful giving.

Mingyu stands as one of the most defining all-rounders of his generation, a 6'2" visual monster with killer dance power, a deep baritone voice, sharp rap flow, songwriting credits on over 50 tracks, and global star power that turns runways into his personal stage! From trainee to Dior ambassador dominating Paris Fashion Week, he proves tall idols can own every spotlight.
