Jake
Sim Jaeyun (심재윤), known by his English name Jake, is a South Korean-Australian vocalist and one of the members of ENHYPEN, the group assembled through Mnet's survival show I-Land in 2020. Born on November 15, 2002, in South Korea, he relocated to Brisbane, Australia at age nine, making him one of the few K-pop idols who grew up abroad before returning to pursue an entertainment career.
Jake's path to debuting was compressed: he trained with BELIFT LAB for just nine months before I-Land began airing. He placed third in the final global vote, earning his spot in ENHYPEN alongside six other trainees. The group debuted on November 30, 2020, with "BORDER: DAY ONE," a mini-album that set the foundation for what would become one of the 4th generation's most internationally followed acts.
His bilingual fluency has made Jake a natural connector for ENHYPEN's global fanbase, Engene. He frequently communicates in English during live streams and interviews, bridging the group's Korean identity with its substantial international following across Australia, Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe.
Since debut, Jake has appeared on every ENHYPEN release, including studio albums "DIMENSION: DILEMMA" (2021), "ROMANCE: UNTOLD" (2024), and mini-album "THE SIN: VANISH" (2026). His growth as a vocalist across those releases reflects BELIFT LAB's development approach and the group's evolving artistic ambitions.
