A Multitalented Force in Entertainment

His background in dance and performance made him a natural fit for the role, and fans are excited to see how he will bring fresh energy to the show.
A Visual Icon in Fashion
Beyond TV and music, Sung Hanbin is also making waves in the fashion world. He recently starred in a digital pictorial for Marie Claire Korea in collaboration with Swarovski. The photoshoot, themed “Rose to My Rose,” featured Hanbin as a striking cupid figure, showcasing his graceful visuals and modeling prowess. The campaign further solidified his image as a versatile and influential artist.
A Star on the Rise
With a growing portfolio that spans hosting, music, dance, and fashion, Sung Hanbin is emerging as one of the most well-rounded entertainers of his generation. His return to KCON Japan as Main MC is not just a personal achievement but a symbol of his expanding influence in the global K-pop scene.
