With nicknames like “Hwang-vely” (AKA
King-like) and Prince of the District given to him since pre-debut days, it’
s no wonder why Hwang Hyunjin from
Stray Kids is truly the 4th gen
king. Not only is his name a
fun coincidence to this title, but also his unique ability to constantly go viral and capture the hearts of non-Stays, other idols, and locals show how he is dominating the 4th generation of K-
pop like the
king he is.
As of now, he is currently the only 4th generation boy group idol to reach top 10 of GAON social charts, the 4th gen idol who has the highest view count for a fancam (6M+), the most Google searched 4th gen boy idol, the only 4th gen boy to have a library dedicated to him, and the 4th gen boy to go viral the most in terms of how many times and how much.
He has also produced and wrote a solo song called “Little Star”, as well as choreographed a contemporary dance to Billie Eilish’s When the Party’s Over.
Hyunjin is the main dancer, lead
rapper, and center of 4th gen leader group, Stray Kids.
