Yoon Ye-chan
Yoon Ye-chan (윤예찬), known by his stage name Yechan and English name Timothy Yoon, is the main dancer, rapper, and vocalist of South Korean boy group 82MAJOR under Great M Entertainment. Born on April 16, 2004, in Toronto, Canada (Markham, Ontario), Yechan is the only Canadian-born member of 82MAJOR and brings a distinct North American hip-hop sensibility to the group's high-energy performances.
Yechan comes from a musically gifted family -- his mother was a musician and his father a university counselor -- and grew up alongside his older sister Anna and older brother Keeho, who debuted as a member of P1Harmony under FNC Entertainment in 2020. The two brothers form one of K-pop's most discussed sibling connections. Before joining Great M Entertainment, Yechan trained at SM Entertainment for approximately six to seven years, beginning around age 12 or 13.
He was revealed as the last and hidden member of 82MAJOR on September 21, 2023, just three weeks before the group's October 11 debut, generating widespread excitement from fans already familiar with his family name. As main dancer, Yechan anchors 82MAJOR's intricate choreography, and his triple-threat ability as dancer, rapper, and vocalist gives him one of the widest creative ranges in the lineup. Off stage, he is an avid outdoor athlete with a love for skateboarding, basketball, and snowboarding. His MBTI type is ENFP.
