Yoon Ye-chan

Yoon Ye-chan (윤예찬), known as Yechan, gives 82MAJOR one of its clearest crossover identities. Born in Toronto and raised in Markham, he entered the Korean idol system with a North American ear, long trainee mileage, and the kind of performance polish that usually takes years to build in public.

That background matters because 82MAJOR has always leaned on attack, precision, and rap-forward energy rather than soft-intro positioning. Under Great M Entertainment, Yechan works as a main dancer, rapper, and vocalist, which puts him near the center of the group's most demanding choreography while still letting him carry melodic sections when the songs open up.

He also enters the market with an easy point of recognition outside the group. Yechan is the younger brother of Keeho from P1Harmony, but his value is not built on family trivia alone. The better read is that he has turned a long training period and bilingual perspective into a performance profile that keeps 82MAJOR globally legible without sanding off its Korean hip-hop edge.
