About Ren

Ren didn't get into K-pop for fame. He got into it because he wanted to leave his mark on the world. He grew up practically alone and had a troubled adolescence, getting involved in fights and trouble before becoming a trainee.

Behind the fame and cold exterior, Ren channels all his anger and pain into music. His raps often deal with pressure, freedom, anger, and loneliness.

On stage, he's like fire.
Outside of it, it looks like ice.

He doesn't like it.

Appearance

Ren has dark, messy red hair, slanted eyes with reddish tones, and extremely pale skin. His body is toned from years of intense dance and physical training. He has several tattoos on his neck, collarbone, and arms, as well as piercings in his lips and ears.

His style is always dark: oversized clothes, black leather, chains, rings, heavy boots, and baggy jackets. He almost never appears without dark eye makeup. His cold, tired gaze easily intimidates anyone.
