Dawn

Kim Hyo-jong，艺名Dawn，是韩国说唱歌手、歌手和舞者。他最初作为男子组合Pentagon的成员获得认可，后来与Hyuna和Hui共同加入男女混合项目组合Triple H。2018年离开Cube Entertainment后，Dawn在P Nation旗下开启个人生涯，于2019年发行首张单曲《Money》。他的音乐融合了嘻哈、舞曲流行和K-pop，以其富有魅力的舞台表现和犀利的说唱风格而闻名。[编辑]

Dawn在全罗南道长大，对K-pop充满热情。他于2012年参加了JYP Entertainment第9届选秀，进入最后一轮但未被选中。随后他加入Cube Entertainment成为练习生，花费数年时间磨练说唱、舞蹈和创作技巧。在正式出道前，他于2014年出现在G.NA的《Secret》音乐视频中。在Cube的训练为他日后作为Pentagon成员出道做好了准备。[编辑]

Dawn于2016年10月10日以艺名E'Dawn作为Pentagon成员出道，担任组合主Rapper。2017年，他与Hui和Hyuna加入项目组合Triple H，发行了两张EP。2018年8月，Cube Entertainment因他与Hyuna的恋情公开而解除了他的合约，理由是信任问题。随后Dawn于2019年1月签约P Nation，并于2019年11月5日以单曲《Money》个人出道。此后他发布了更多个人音乐作品，但在2022年与Hyuna分手后保持相对低调。[编辑]

Dawn以其前卫而富有魅力的舞台表现著称，无论是作为说唱歌手还是舞者。他的音乐风格融合了嘻哈、舞曲流行和K-pop，以其犀利的表达和自信的形象受到认可。Pentagon的粉丝（称为Universe）也支持他的个人作品，但他的个人职业生涯没有单独的粉丝名。[编辑]

When it comes to fame, Dawn's trajectory has been anything but conventional. He first captured the spotlight as E'Dawn of Pentagon, but it was his 2018 departure from Cube Entertainment, alongside HyunA, after their relationship became public, that turned him into a household name in K-pop circles. That scandal and the couple's subsequent defiance made them icons of the 'us against the world' narrative, a story that still defines his public image. As of August 2026, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated Dawn but he does not currently hold a placement in the published rankings, neither in the Global Top 1,000 nor any Top-100 scope list. This reflects his long hiatuses and deliberately low-key presence, especially since his split from HyunA in late 2022. Yet his influence remains measurable: his solo debut single 'Money' entered the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart in 2019, driven by a dedicated fanbase that had followed him from his Pentagon days. That fanbase, however, has no formal name. Unlike most K-pop soloists, Dawn has never established an official fandom name, his fans simply call themselves his supporters, a choice that aligns with his anti-commercial, unconventional persona. His Instagram following of approximately 3.6 million underscores his enduring appeal, even after extended periods away from the spotlight. His 2024 comeback single 'Too Much' signals an attempt to re-engage this dormant fanbase, though the old organizational energy remains to be seen.[编辑]

Dawn was formerly known by the stage name E'Dawn before switching to Dawn for his solo career. His specialty includes rap, composing, and songwriting. He cites seniors from Cube Entertainment as his role models. He enjoys Korean food, juice, the computer game Starcraft, and dark colors.

One of the most retold stories from his Pentagon days is his appearance on the M2 series 'PENTAGON MAKER,' where he opened a 'counseling center' to listen to other members' problems, a moment fans still cherish as a glimpse of his caring side before the 2018 scandal. That scandal itself became legendary: when Cube fired Dawn and HyunA after they confirmed their relationship, fans rallied fiercely, and the couple's post-firing date photos became a touchstone of solidarity. Even after their split, the relationship remains a defining reference point for his fanbase, and his androgynous fashion sense continues to spark affectionate memes and discussions among supporters.[编辑]

关于Dawn的家庭细节，包括父母和兄弟姐妹，尚未公开披露。他没有分享过关于家庭或宠物的信息。[编辑]

Dawn与Hyuna密切合作，既是Triple H的合作者，也是恋人。他还与Hui在Triple H中合作，并签约Psy的厂牌P Nation。[编辑]

Dawn最公开的恋情是与歌手Hyuna。两人在Cube Entertainment期间开始约会，并在项目组合Triple H中合作。他们的关系于2018年8月公开，导致两人被公司解约。他们于2022年2月宣布订婚，但2022年11月，Dawn宣布两人分手，并表示决定继续做好同事和朋友。截至2026，据报道Dawn单身，没有新的公开恋情。[编辑]

截至2026，Dawn的身价尚未公开报道。他的收入来源包括音乐销售、流媒体版税、演唱会表演以及Pentagon时期和个人艺人的品牌代言。[编辑]
