Kim Do-gyun

Dogyun (도균), born Kim Do-gyun (김도균) on September 14, 2006, in Jecheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, is the maknae and main vocalist of South Korean boy group 82MAJOR under Great M Entertainment. Revealed as a trainee on December 27, 2022, he debuted with the group on October 11, 2023, delivering the high notes and melodic hooks that cut through the group's harder hip-hop sonics.

Off the stage, Dogyun is a competitive martial artist. He has won judo championships and trains across jiu-jitsu and kickboxing, a disciplined physicality that carries into 82MAJOR's performance style. Standing 177 cm with an ESTP personality, he attended Hanlim Arts School in Seoul and credits his intense training regimen with building the stage presence he brings to every set.

As the youngest in a group built around contrast, Dogyun's role extends beyond vocal runs. His combination of technical skill and natural charisma makes him one of the most watched members in the group's fanbase. He contributed to 82MAJOR's EP run across Beat by 82 and X-82 in 2024, and returned with Silence Syndrome in 2025, marking the group's most sonically cohesive release to date.
