Haum

Haum (하음), born Kwak Ha-eum (곽하음), is the kind of rookie performer labels spend years trying to assemble. Inside KiiiKiii, she covers vocalist, rapper, and dancer duties without ever reading like a compromise in any one lane. That all-rounder label gets thrown around too easily in K-pop, but in her case it fits because the role is visible in the music, not just in profile copy. Onstage, she moves like someone who understands how to redistribute attention inside a group performance.

Before debuting under Starship Entertainment, Haum studied acting at Lila Art High School and trained at Dream Vocal Academy. Her original dream was ballet, which helps explain the line control in her movement, but K-pop choreography pulled her toward a broader performance route. That shift matters. Haum does not feel like a dancer who learned to sing or a singer who got pushed into rap. She feels like someone shaped by performance first, then refined into an idol structure that lets every tool show up.

KiiiKiii's early catalog gave her plenty of room to prove it. The group broke in with "I Do Me," then quickly built out a brighter but still sharp-edged identity through Uncut Gem. By the time Delulu Pack and "404 (New Era)" arrived in 2026, Haum had already emerged as one of the clearest anchors in the lineup, capable of carrying transitions between melodic hooks, rhythmic verses, and performance-heavy sections without losing the song's center.

That versatility also translated outside the core discography. KiiiKiii's endorsement run, first music-show win, and growing public profile gave Haum more visibility as a first-year idol with range rather than a single-position specialist. She is still early in her career, but the shape is already there. Haum looks like the member labels point to when they want to explain why a rookie group can scale faster than expected.
