Short bio
Hyui is a Japanese vocalist and performer of NEXZ recognized for his radiant smile, upbeat energy, and well-rounded talents in dance and music composition.
Background
Hyui was born in Wakayama, Japan, growing up in a lively household with his parents and two younger siblings — a brother and a sister. His name is often associated with the meaning “bright sun,” a fitting description for the cheerful aura he carries both on and off stage. Family members have shared that his natural optimism makes him the person others turn to when they need encouragement or an energy boost.
Before entering the official trainee system, Hyui had already spent three years studying dance, building a strong technical base. He later trained under JYP Entertainment for another three years, giving him one of the longer preparation periods among the NEXZ members. During auditions in Seoul, South Korea, he stood out for his expressive performance of “My Pace” (Japanese version) by Stray Kids, which earned him a coveted dance evaluation cube from JYP.
In 2023, Hyui competed in Nizi Project Season 2, where his lively personality and steady skill progression helped him secure 6th place in the finals. He officially debuted with NEXZ on May 20, 2024, bringing a blend of athletic stamina, creative hobbies, and bright charisma to the group’s identity.
