MEMBER PROFILE
Q
Main Dancer, Sub-Vocalist in THE BOYZ.
Profile
Before and debut
Q built his reputation as one of THE BOYZ’s strongest dancers, then repeatedly ruined the intimidating image by talking about SpongeBob, horror movies, and biting the other members. He is ambidextrous and favors lavender, purple, and blue, which means he has excellent taste and questionable coping mechanisms.
Q debuted with THE BOYZ on December 6, 2017 through The First and its title track “Boy.” The original twelve-member lineup entered during a crowded generation transition and had to build recognition through frequent releases, variety content, and unusually disciplined group choreography.
THE BOYZ career
The group’s turning point came through Road to Kingdom and Kingdom: Legendary War, where elaborate stages made their performance reputation impossible to ignore. Later eras moved through “The Stealer,” “Maverick,” “Whisper,” “Roar,” “Watch It,” “Trigger,” “VVV,” and “Stylish.”
Q’s role is not static. Ten-member groups survive because members learn when to lead a section and when to make somebody else’s moment work.
Performance identity
Q can dance with surgical precision and then smile like a tiny horror-movie villain. This is range.
The 2025 “Stylish” era used nine active performers because Sangyeon was enlisted and Ju Haknyeon had been removed from the company lineup. Read the full review here.
Current status
In 2026, nine members excluding New won a court injunction suspending their ONE HUNDRED contracts after a dispute over settlements and trust. New remained under contract by personal choice. The members said they respected that choice and would continue exploring options for the team. This profile treats THE BOYZ membership and agency contracts as separate facts.
