Short bio

Seonghwa is a vocalist and performer of ATEEZ known for his elegant visuals, caring personality, and strong stage expressions.

Background

Seonghwa (성화) was born in Jinju, South Gyeongsang, South Korea, and grew up with one older brother. His name combines the meanings of “star” and “to become,” often interpreted as “to become a star,” a phrase fans frequently associate with his graceful stage aura.

He attended Myungshin High School and previously trained at Rhythm Company, where he strengthened both dance and vocal foundations. Interestingly, Seonghwa originally auditioned as a rapper, and even showcased rap tones similar to fellow member Mingi during early pre-debut content. However, his official debut position shifted to vocalist, where his smooth tone and emotional delivery quickly stood out.

Before debut, Seonghwa auditioned for MIXNINE, though he did not advance. Despite this setback, he continued training and later debuted with ATEEZ, becoming recognized not only for performance skills but also for his meticulous cleanliness and nurturing personality within the team.
