Younki
Younki (윤기) sits near the center of NAZE because he already reads like more than a standard rookie-profile placeholder. Born May 5, 2005, in Seoul, South Korea, he is part of the seven-member group that C9 Entertainment is pushing as its first multinational boy band. His official member page confirms the Seoul hometown and birthday, while his existing HITKULTR profile highlights the combination that gives him the most upside: vocalist instincts, English fluency, and a clear interest in writing and production.
That creative angle matters. In a market full of rookie bios built on generic charisma claims, Younki already has a more usable narrative. He has been introduced as someone drawn to composition and recording, with cited influences from BIGBANG and iKON. That makes his page feel closer to a future artist-development story than a simple idol fact sheet.
He is also part of the NAZE members who entered the public eye through DREAM STAGE, a TBS co-production that doubled as the group's pre-debut launchpad. Combined with the OST credits attached to that run, Younki already has a measurable first chapter before debut day. For C9, that is the point: build familiarity early, then convert it into a stronger music-era introduction when NAZE officially enters the market in May 2026.

On HITKULTR, he stands out as one of the members most associated with vocals, songwriting interest, and all-around pre-debut versatility.
Where is Younki from?
Younki is from Seoul, South Korea. NAZE's official profile page confirms both his hometown and his birth date, May 5, 2005. In a group designed as C9 Entertainment's first multinational boy band, that Seoul background gives him a straightforward home-market anchor inside a lineup that also includes Japanese members.
Does Younki write or produce music?

HITKULTR's existing research notes his interest in lyric writing, composing, and production, which makes him one of the more artist-development-focused members in NAZE's early narrative. It is still a pre-debut story, but it gives his page a stronger angle than a generic trainee introduction.
What has Younki released before NAZE's debut?
Younki's pre-debut credit stack is tied to <em>DREAM STAGE</em> and the songs released around that project. HITKULTR currently tracks the drama plus OST credits including "Wanderlust," "BABYBOO," "Little Star," and "Isn't She Lovely?". Those releases gave NAZE a public runway before the group's official debut arrives in May 2026.
Where can fans follow Younki officially?
The official entry point is Younki's member page on NAZE's Japanese website, supported by the group's verified Instagram, X, YouTube, and TikTok accounts. Like many rookies in pre-debut mode, he is currently represented through NAZE's shared group channels rather than a full set of separate personal social accounts.
