BE:LIFT LAB

Sunoo is famous as a member of ENHYPEN. ENHYPEN is known for their hardworking attitudes, amazing chemistry, and undeniable talent. Sunoo is known within the group as a sassy ball of sunshine. Not only is his personality bound to draw you in but his voice and singing ability will, too! Let’s get to know more about him today.

BE:LIFT LAB

If you are new to ENHYPEN, here is some basic information about Sunoo. Sunoo was born on Jun. 24, 2003. He has been an outstanding person since his school days, having been part of the student council and class president in middle school. He graduated from the famous Hanlim Multi Art School, too. You can watch his graduation vlog here.

Sunoo won over the hearts of many when he appeared on the BE:LIFT LAB survival show “I-LAND” in 2020. He showed great perseverance during the show, putting his best foot forward every step of the way. He was even complimented by the producers, ZICO and Rain, on the show for his talent despite only training for 10 months prior.

Check out his impressive performance of ‘Save Me’ here.

During his time on “I-LAND” Sunoo found himself sent to the ‘Ground’ as he did not receive enough votes. However, he became the producers’ pick due to his talent. He had a few obstacles but stayed in the favor of the producers and fans due to his efforts. He rose above it all and even continuously became the top contender for the global votes.

Sunoo became part of the final lineup as a member chosen by the producers.

Besides his incredible skills, Sunoo quickly became the mood maker and energy source on “I-LAND”. He brought his fun energy to the different team dynamics and helped other members enjoy their practice time more. He is quite a positive person which extends to the people around him, too. More than that, he is a social butterfly and can make friends easily, adding to his captivating aura.

“Idols are a shining and special existence. I want to debut and become a Sunoo who can positively influence others.”
ENHYPEN’s Sunoo

Sunoo debuted with ENHYPEN in November 2020.

He has a distinctive voice that has a refreshing quality. His voice also has a lot of dualities. He especially suits bright and light concepts but sounds good in any genre, gliding between high and low notes/tones effortlessly. Sunoo has strong control over his dynamic vocal range which adds to his stability when singing.

Sunoo’s voice really shines in this live performance of ‘I Didn’t Know’.

He is known since his “I-LAND” era as a stage genius. He earned the nickname from the producers and fans couldn’t help but agree.

Sunoo is know as the king of facial expressions. He is a natural-born talent when it comes to polishing his performances through various looks. He is also an incredible storyteller when he is on the stage. From his vocals and delivery of the lyrics to his facial expressions and charm, Sunoo creates a narrative on stage that is hard to miss.

Take a look at this ‘FEVER’ facecam that shows his more subtle but lethal facial expressions.

This ‘Let Me In’ facecam will show you how well he pulls off brighter facial expressions, too.

Another impressive point about him is his sheer determination. Sunoo has shown so much improvement since fans met him in the first episode of “I-LAND” true to his diligent nature. If you compare his performances from then to now, you can see how much effort he has put into sharpening his skills and how much all-rounder potential he has.

Additionally, Sunoo is an aegyo enthusiast with the nickname ‘Ddeonu‘. His aegyo is very natural to the point where you might think he doesn’t realize he is doing it.

Here is one of his most legendary aegyo moments.

He is the definition of adorable, don’t you think?

If you are new to ENHYPEN, you might mistake Sunoo for the maknae based on his personality and how much the members take care of him.

Sunoo is adorable personified which is why his members love teasing him. He is especially cute when he is sulking and puffs out his cheeks in a cute pout. His cheeks are one of his most endearing features which is why the other ENHYPEN members find themselves poking them all the time.

He is known for his sweet and lovable persona, with fans fittingly dubbing him as ‘the best boy‘. Watching videos of Sunoo will instantly make you feel protective of him as he exudes pureness that is unmatched. He is an uplifting and kind-hearted best boy.

Despite his sweet persona, he also has a sexy side. He suits darker concepts extremely well, showing off his handsomeness.

We can’t exclude Sunoo’s visuals in this article either. He has fox-like visuals that are honestly beautiful. His eyes are also a charming point as he has light brown/dark hazel eyes. New fans often mistake them for contacts but they are the natural color.
