> **Minho** (민호) is a South Korean Male Soloist and Idol who debuted solo in 2019. He  started in group SHINee. 

Originally aspiring to follow in his father's footsteps toward a career in professional sports, Minho was scouted on the street while attending a cultural event. Initially turning down the agency's offer, he was approached repeatedly until he decided to audition, embarking on a complete pivot toward performance arts. As a trainee, he faced steep learning curves in dance and rap, but his intense competitive drive and athletic discipline enabled rapid progress. Balancing high school studies with late-night practice sessions, he developed into a versatile rapper and performer for SHINee.
