Ni-Ki is famous as a member of the sensational boy group ENHYPEN. The group is known for being full of all-rounder members. Ni-Ki is known within the group for his multifaceted talent, especially when it comes to dancing.

Today, let's take a look at his model potential.

Firstly, we'd like to start this article by co-asking this question by an ENGENE (ENHYPEN's fandom).

"Who allowed him to look so beautiful?"

This fan is making a strong point. Ni-Ki is so beautiful that it makes you wonder whether there should be laws instated on how handsome someone can be.

Ni-Ki has a natural grace not only on stage but in front of the camera, too. Even his concept photos look like pictorials as he knows how to work his angles in a flattering and creative way. His tall height also adds to the way he works the frame.
