Dohyeok
Dohyeok (도혁), born January 22, 2008, in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, is the maknae (youngest member) of NAZE under C9 Entertainment. Despite his age, he had already passed auditions for two of Korea's Big Four entertainment agencies before joining C9, which houses groups including CIX and EPEX. Revealed as the first member of the group on June 19, 2025, he was followed by six more members over consecutive days -- Kimkun, Younki, Turn, Ato, Kaisei, and Yuya -- completing the seven-member lineup.
Dohyeok attends Yongmun High School in Gyeonggi Province and has two younger brothers. Before NAZE held their formal debut, he made his acting debut as a lead actor in the 2026 TBS drama DREAM STAGE -- a significant move that placed him in front of audiences before the group had officially launched. The group's pre-debut single run covered three tracks: Wanderlust (November 2025), BABYBOO (January 2026), and Little Star (February 2026), each building the group's momentum with domestic fans.
