Kwon Hyun-bin has built a multifaceted career over the past decade. He first entered the entertainment world as a model under YG KPlus in 2015, praised for his tall frame and striking looks. In 2017, he joined Mnet’s survival show “Produce 101 Season 2,” where he finished in 22nd place. Later that year, he debuted as part of the project boy group JBJ.
After the group’s disbandment, Kwon transitioned into acting and solo music under the stage name VIINI. In 2019, he released his first mini-album, Dimension. His acting career also began to flourish around the same time, starting with his debut in MBC’s sitcom Borg Mom.
He has since appeared in several well-known dramas and films, including The Red Sleeve, Pandora: Beneath the Paradise, and Love Andante. In March 2024, Kwon signed with Ghost Studio, home to several respected actors.
Born in 1997, Kwon Hyun Bin’s enlistment comes at the usual age for South Korean men, but his decision to join the Marine Corps stands out. Known for its demanding physical and mental training, the Marines are often seen as one of the toughest branches of the military.
