Upcoming boy group MYNAME recently revealed their debut day through their official fancafe. The boys will be appearing on M! Countdown on Thurday, and will be continuing their promotions with debut stages on the other music shows in that same week.
MYNAME consists of 5 members and was originally known as :
leader Gunwoo (89)
+ Gunwoo, was revealed to be the group's leader, meaning that MYNAME didn't name the oldest of the group as its leader, unlike most other debuting groups. Gunwoo was born in '89, and will be the main vocalist of the group.
Insoo (88)
+ was revealed to be a talented dancer and singer, as well as choreographer. He appeared in Superstar K2 before signing with H2 Media.
Seyong, Rapper ('91)
+ Previously a JYP trainee. When he moved to H2 Media, he became one of Hwanhee's back-up dancers, and was featured in one of his tracks called "Love Love Love". He also appeared as an actor in "I Believe in Love/My Love, My Family".
Jun.Q (93)
+ Jun.Q ('93), the member which was previously compared to Lee Seunggi for his looks, also previously appeared in Infinite's "You're My Oppa", as one of Jiae's friends. He is said to be a rapper.
maknae Chaejin, ('95)
+ on the other hand, has been known for his looks as well as his celebrity friends as he has been shown to be close friends with classmate A Pink's Naeun. He attends classes at the School of Performing Arts in Seoul, together with many other young stars, including f(x)'s Sulli, miss A's Suzy, X-5's Sulhu, Boy Friend's youngest members Youngmin, Kwangmin and Minwoo; as well as a lot of others.
“Hwanhee got 10 shots on his shoulder, but showed fighting spirit and guided us”
Hwanhee couldn’t watch MYNAME’s first debut stage, a group he personally trained, and went to the Nonsan training center with heavy steps.
“(Because of shoulder dislocation) he even got 10 shots of injection on his shoulders, but he never showed that he was hurting. He came looking for us almost everyday in the practice room even during late night practices, and guided us.” The MYNAME members expressed their gratefulness towards Hwanhee, who was attached to his pupils till the end and showed passion.
The 5 members Insoo, Gunwoo, Seyong, JunQ and Chaejin take responsibility for the confession caused by their teacher’s enlistment.
After going through about 2 years of deadly training, they finally introduce the members with their ambition of “imprinting our name in the music industry and becoming the best,” on the same day they take their first step with Message on Mnet M!Countdown.
Dance·Vocals·Rap·Talents·Visual… MYNAME ’5 people 5 colors’ are not lacking in anything
Like the colorful charms of Message’s album jacket, the 5 members are interesting with their overflowing foundation, talents and gift.
Known as ‘Hwanhee’s look-alike’, Seyong was a trainee for 3 years after passing a JYP audition during his middle school days. Before Hwanhee’s enlistment, Seyong revealed his face in Hwanhee’s 1st full-length album track ‘Love you Love you’ featured as a rapper, as well as being a back up dancer for Hwanhee’s title track ‘Love Pain’.
Seyong, a former dance major at Sejong University with outstanding dance instincts, even coached Miss A’s Suzy (T/N: The reporter made a mistake. It’s supposed to be rhythm gymnast Shin Suji.) and Son Yeonjae in ballet lessons. Leader and main vocalist Gunwoo has a charming voice and impressionable deep eyes.
The maknae line has looks that can shake the hearts of noonas. JunQ, whose lips curve up slightly when he smiles, similar to Lee Seunggi’s 1000 watt smile, is in charge of rapping. Maknae Chaejin has a pure image which reminds one of Ji Hyunwoo.
“Instead of abilities, we learned humanity from Hwanhee”
“Always act like a rookie, never be arrogant, and be modest instead. If you’re modest, you won’t lose. A winner is a winner.”
Among the things they learnt from their teacher and 1st generation idol member Hwanhee was asking ‘things that are deep in your heart’, which the 5 members recite like a textbook. Without leaving out a small part, they memorise it exactly the same.
“(Hwanhee senior has) a strong desire to win and is a perfectionist. Before going on stage, apart from himself, he will specifically check everything including the dancers, stage equipment, outfits, and lighting.” (Seyong)
The MYNAME members mentioned Hwanhee’s detailed appearance which is different from his (somewhat unfriendly) broadcast image.
“He is always finding out whether the 2 hyungs (Gunwoo and Insoo) are taking good care of the dongsaengs. During recording, he gives us checks all the way till saying ’1′. Even when he went to Japan on business, he coached us through recorded files that he made and gave us.” (Insoo)
Even on his last day before enlisting into the army, Hwanhee went to visit his students MYNAME in their practice room and inspected their performance.
“We are very honored to be introduced by the nickname ‘Hwanhee boys’. We will want to surely hear that we are ‘rookies who sing live well’, ‘group without cracks’ for our first performance today.” (Seyong)
"In abstract, our biggest goal is to win 1st, but our goal for the first album is to let the public know our name, just like our team name MYNAME," said the members who have concrete plans to do so.
In a while at 6pm (on the 27th), the 5 boys are prepared to take on K-pop’s 2nd future. The reason is that there is a lot of anticipation regarding their first performance of ‘Message’.

MYNAME warns of their ‘Noona fan domination’ with a toxic melody + warm-guy face on Inkigayo
