Kim Gyu-vin

Kim Gyu-vin (김규빈) came out of Mnet's Boys Planet with the kind of audience traction companies spend years trying to manufacture. He ranked seventh in the 2023 finale, debuted with ZEROBASEONE that July, and quickly became one of the lineup's most reliable visual and performance anchors instead of a member carried only by fan-edit mythology.

What made Gyu-vin stick was the mix. He had height, obvious camera appeal, and loose natural energy on stage, but he also arrived with a longer trainee runway that included time at YG before settling at YH Entertainment. Across the ZB1 cycle from Youth in the Shade to RE-FLOW, that background translated into cleaner live composure, a stronger read on center moments, and a fan culture that treated him as more than a supporting visual.

The current phase matters because it is not a quiet cooldown. After wrapping ZEROBASEONE activities in March 2026, Gyu-vin moved straight into YH's next launch plan as part of AND2BLE. That reset puts him in one of the clearest post-project-group tests of the year: can a member with proven scale convert survival-show momentum into a permanent-group identity. His profile suggests yes.
