Novel Encounters
MEN'S FOLIO Malaysia|March 2023
For Hwang Minhyun, starting afresh is something he has done not once, not twice, but thrice. The ex-NU’EST lead vocalist not only managed to bag a second successful debut as an idol with Wanna One, he also made his well-received musical theatre and actor debuts only one year apart — all through manifestation and hard work, but he’s not giving these “first-times” a break just yet.

One might write him off as naturally confident and a lover of challenges after hearing his career feats, but our conversation with the up-and-coming artist says otherwise. Despite the fear, his will to embrace every new beginning with untethered bravery, grace and tenacity shines through in his hunger to grow. This sentiment cannot be felt more intensely than in his debut solo album, Truth or Lie. We speak with Hwang to learn more about his relationship with change, going solo and what this new chapter of artistry means to the budding actor and formidable dreamer-and-doer.

Hi Minhyun! How has 2023 been for you so far?

Since the beginning of the year, have kept myself busy getting ready for the upcoming album and the TV series I’m a part of.

It’s been a decade since you appeared in the entertainment spotlight as a member of NU’EST, but you have been consistently reinventing your image over the years as a member of Wanna One, last year as an actor and now, a solo singer. Would you say that you are someone who likes to take on new challenges?
