If you're new to HeeSeung, here is some basic information about him. HeeSeung was born on October 15, 2001, and has had a passion for music since he was young. He dreamed of being a singer since he was a child.

HeeSeung joined the survival show "I-LAND" in 2020. He did pretty well on the show, earning himself a world of praise. He was identified as an ace as a result of the charms he showed off during his time on the show. He even got the highest individual mark from the producers for one of his performances on the show.

Making the final debut lineup, he made his debut as a member of ENHYPEN later in the same year.

Let's get into more of HeeSeung's idol charm...

HeeSeung boasts heavenly vocals that will have you questioning how it's possible to fall in love with a person's voice. His voice is the kind that you can listen to at any time, in any song, in any genre, and on any occasion. It's the kind of voice that captivates the ear of anyone who listens.

Be it the way that he sings falsetto, the way that he puts emotion into the song or anything in between - his voice has several charms. One of his many vocal charms includes his vocal runs. His vocal runs will leave you in awe, too. In fact, once you combine all of these vocal elements, his vocal color will leave you with goosebumps. Many fans often talk about how perfect his voice would be for K-Drama OSTs as he has the kind of vocals that would suit any situation and, in this case, any scenario.

We can't be held responsible for the goosebumps you're destined to get, so please brace yourself before hitting play!

HeeSeung is especially renowned for his live vocals which sound like he's singing a CD he swallowed just before the performance. Many K-Pop fans have been taken aback by how solid his live vocals are, deeming his live vocals as studio version vocals. This is why so many fans look forward to his singing during encore stages, too.

No one can deny that HeeSeung was blessed with a beautiful singing voice. However, another thing that can't be denied is how his passion for singing contributes to his angelic vocals. One of his best vocal charms is how much he enjoys the vocal performance. There's a literal sparkle in his eyes when he is performing onstage that is truly heartwarming to witness. He has even said that he can't live without singing.

His vocals don't just shine when he sings. Some might not know that HeeSeung is also skilled when it comes to rapping. His rap flow and diction are both of high quality.

He is a powerful dance king, too. When HeeSeung breaks out his dance moves, his charisma gets elevated to another level.

HeeSeung's dance skills have always been praised for the way that he exercises control, strength, and that majestic aura that he somehow still manages to exude despite demanding choreography. He can even perform complex dance styles like b-boying, spinning, popping, and more.

When he is on stage, he tells a story with his facial expressions, as well. He always makes sure to add expressions that will capture your eye to his stage, too.

He truly brings out the meaning and vibe of whatever song he performs. In fact, this applies to any time that he is performing. Even his acting in music videos gets praised by his fellow members for being emotive and bringing the story to life. We'd actually love to see him add 'acting-dol' to his resume by acting in a web drama (to start off) and showing more of his innately detailed portrayals.

His facial expressions are not the only thing that will capture your eye either. His face in itself is a work of art.

HeeSeung has big doe-like eyes and bold features that add to his charismatic good looks. He is so handsome that there are not enough words to describe his handsomeness.

To quote one fan,

"I can't find the right words to describe HeeSeung's visuals... He's just so szcdklnlfvnbvk."

Just when you ask yourself how someone can be so talented at singing, dancing, rapping, have impressive stage presence, and be so good-looking, HeeSeung swoops in to make you scratch your head once more. Once you discover that he's also skilled when it comes to songwriting and producing, you'll be left baffled about how one person can be so talented and hardworking. It's truly awe-inspiring to see him put in the hard work to be such a profoundly gifted artist.

HeeSeung started songwriting during his pre-debut days. Even after his debut, he has been known to work on music whenever he gets the chance. He practices songwriting and song composition in his spare time - constantly improving himself as an artist.

Additionally, despite being the oldest member of the group, HeeSeung is a maknae in disguise. In fact, many fans call him the 'fake maknae' because of his sometimes maknae-esque behavior. He is well-known for taking care of the younger members, but sometimes you'll see the maknae line taking care of him. He also has a lot of aegyo, which first-time fans might see and confuse with maknae energy, but he is just naturally adorable.

He has a shy side to his personality and is naturally introverted. He's a person who thinks deeply about a lot of things and has shared with fans that he's had periods of anxiety before. However, he feels more reassured about himself now and fans have been happy to see more of that side of him recently.

Being vulnerable with his fans has allowed him opportunities to share his wisdom - which he has a lot of. ENGENE always express how proud they are of him and how he inspires them to be better versions of themselves thanks to his intelligent words and wise advice.

"I look at telling yourself you don’t have any weaknesses, even though you do, as a way to boost confidence. I figured it’s better to work on the countless possibilities I have rather than acknowledge my shortcomings. That way, I can hide my weaknesses in my strengths. Changing your mindset is the easiest and most effective way you can change. I was able to overcome a lot thanks to trying to keep that attitude about myself." - ENHYPEN's HeeSeung

He is also the older brother that all of the ENHYPEN members feel comfortable going to. He is always there for his members and his fans and it shows. Thanks to his dependability, the group's overall dynamic is more relaxed. He makes an effort to listen to the younger members' opinions and also provide them with good level-headed advice.

To end off the article, here are some random facts about HeeSeug that you might not have known:

Although he is super diligent, he absolutely loves to have lazy moments and sleep.
