Han

Han is a rapper, songwriter and composer in the eight-member group Stray Kids, which formed on a JYP Entertainment survival show and debuted on March 25, 2018. He is one third of the in-house production team 3RACHA, alongside Bang Chan and Changbin, which has written and produced much of the group's catalog. Known as a versatile all-rounder who also sings and helps out in English-language interviews, he has stepped into the spotlight as a solo artist in 2026. His solo track "back to life" opened the group's self-produced SKZ-Player series in May 2026.

Where they grew up

Han lived in South Korea until he was nine, then moved to Malaysia, where he was homeschooled so he could learn about the world and stay open-minded. He first took an interest in music through veteran Korean acts such as Epik High, which drew him toward songwriting and rapping, and his curiosity about K-pop itself came later after he ran into rap performances by Zico of Block B. When he came back to Korea for exams, he struck a deal with his parents: if he could not get into a company within a year, he would give up and return to Malaysia to study. He then went the audition route and became a JYP trainee, spending about three years in training before debut. One profile lists him as having an older brother and as growing up in Seoul.
