…but where is the proof? Not to fret, we’ve got you covered! Read on to find out 6 reasons why we believe that Sunghoon is set for stardom.
1. He’s got the bag
Sunghoon’s face was prominently displayed all over South Korea recently, thanks to his endorsement deal with Hince. He is the first member to score a solo brand deal with a cosmetics brand!

2. He was already an MC
Being an MC of a music show is a rite-of-passage for many it-boys and it-girls. Look at IVE‘s Wonyoung and TXT‘s Yeonjun. Both MC-ed for Music Bank and Inkigayo respectively. Sunghoon actually MC-ed opposite Wonyoung for Music Bank.
3. Tiffany boxes galore
Sunghoon has achieved basically every girl’s dream — to be surrounded by blue Tiffany boxes!
The star is one of the ambassadors for the brand alongside member Jake. Tiffany & Co has spoilt Sunghoon rotten, gifting him with pieces worth thousands of dollars.
4. He stopped traffic
Sunghoon quite literally caused a jam when he pulled up to Hince’s pop-up store recently. Take a look at the insane crowd that he pulled.

5. He’s known for his airport fashion
Sunghoon is famous for his airport fashion because he’s never caught lacking. He was named the icon of “kku-kku-kku airport fashion.” The term is used to refer to ultra-groomed looks, meaning that he never slacks when it comes to his dressing. What other man wears a suit on a plane?
6. His group is steadily climbing up
ENHYPEN has seen a crazy rise in popularity in the past year. As of March 2024, their Weverse fanclub had reached 9 million members.
