Lee Min-hyuk

Lee Min-hyuk (이민혁), better known inside BTOB as Minhyuk and in solo mode as HUTA, is one of the most complete all-rounders to come out of second-generation idol training. He debuted with BTOB on March 21, 2012, then spent the next decade building a profile that moves cleanly between rap, performance, songwriting, hosting, radio, and acting without losing the sharp physicality that made him one of the group's signature stage anchors.

His solo catalog gave that range a clearer identity. After testing his own tone through tracks like Purple Rain, Minhyuk made his Japan solo debut with Summer Diary in 2018 and followed with the full Korean album Hutazone in 2019, a release that framed HUTA as more than a side project. The 2022 album Boom pushed that lane further, leaning into scale, movement, and the harder performance edge that BTOB does not always foreground in its group work.

Outside music, Minhyuk has built real longevity across adjacent media. He has credits in series like Top Management, film work through The Swordsman, and daily audience reach through BTOB's Kiss the Radio. Since 2024 he has operated under BTOB Company, the group-focused setup that took over after the Cube era. The result is a veteran profile that still feels active, not archival, with BTOB, solo HUTA releases, and media work all feeding the same brand.
