Hanbi

Hanbi is one of the older anchors inside SMTR25, which is part of why his page carries more immediate debut-race tension than a standard trainee profile. Born on October 24, 2003, he was placed in the 2000s class of Reply High School, where SM Entertainment used a time-slip variety format to turn its next-boy-group search into something fans could track week by week.

The timing matters. Hanbi entered public view through SMTR25's official social launch, the introduction-film campaign, and the 2026 single We Go Up, then gained broader recognition through the Mnet show. That gave him a more complete early profile than most trainees get, because viewers are not only seeing performance clips but also how he reads inside the ensemble, how SM frames his role, and how he handles the public runway before debut.

For HITKULTR, Hanbi works best as a page about visible pre-debut pressure. He is still waiting on a final group announcement, but the rollout around him is already being consumed like the opening chapter of a real idol launch.
