Gunil

Gunil (구건일), born Goo Gun-il on July 24, 1998, is the drummer and leader who keeps Xdinary Heroes feeling like a real band inside the scale of JYP Entertainment. Under Studio J, he has become the member who locks the arrangements in place while still giving the group the force it needs to jump from pop-punk hooks into heavier live-band pressure.

He debuted with Xdinary Heroes on December 6, 2021 with "Happy Death Day," then helped drive one of the sharpest band catalogs in the idol system through Hello, World!, Overload, Deadlock, Troubleshooting, LIVE and FALL, Beautiful Mind, LXVE to DEATH, and DEAD AND. As the oldest member, Gunil gives the band structure onstage and in the music itself, keeping the six-player chemistry tight without sanding off its rougher rock edges.

That balance is why his role matters. Xdinary Heroes have built a real touring and festival lane, and Gunil is central to how that scale translates live. His drumming stays clean under pressure, his leadership reads naturally rather than ceremonially, and his presence is a big reason the group lands as a musician-first act instead of a concept borrowing rock aesthetics for a cycle.
