Hyunjin is known for his stunning features and charismatic attitude. In Stray Kids, he is known for being the main dancer and visual of the group. Additionally, some argue that he is the defining visual of 4th generation K-pop.
However, as Donatella hinted, it is more than just visuals that make Hyunjin stand out. He is an extremely hard worker, which can be seen by the time and energy he puts into his group’s performances. The controversial clip below even shows him gasping for breath during breaks in a performance.
Hyunjin works so hard and always gives his all to the point of nearly fainting, yet JYPE failed so many times to protect him and Stray Kids 😢 But at least they have each other and us, STAYS to fight for them 😢
