Ma Jingxiang

Ma Jingxiang (马靖翔 / 마징시앙) arrived in CLOSE YOUR EYES with more pressure than most survival-show winners. After an early international fanbase formed around Boys Planet, he returned on JTBC's Project 7, finished first, and became the center-facing Chinese member in Uncore's debut lineup on April 2, 2025.

What makes Jingxiang work is control. He does not chase the camera. He steadies it. That quality helped him stay central through Eternalt, Snowy Summer, Blackout, the 2026 single Overexposed, and the Beyond Your Eyes concert cycle, where CLOSE YOUR EYES had to prove it could move past finale hype and operate like a real working group.

He still feels early in the long arc of his career, but the value proposition is already obvious: strong visual recall, disciplined stage framing, and enough cross-market pull to matter well beyond one television season.
