Career
Pre-debut
Hwang became a Pledis Entertainment trainee through scouting. Prior to his debut, he became more well known after appearing in Orange Caramel's music video for their single "Shanghai Romance".[4] He also made appearances in labelmates' music releases as a member of 'Pledis Boys'.[5]
2012–2016: NU'EST
On 15 March 2012, Hwang debuted as a member of NU'EST.[6]
He also appeared at the 2012–13 Seoul Fashion Week as a model for designer Park Yoon-soo's fashion show 'Big Park'.[7]
In 2015, Hwang was featured in indie artist Fromm's new track, "Aftermath".[8] In 2016, Pledis Entertainment released Minhyun and JR's music video for "Daybreak", which is part of NU'EST's fifth mini album Canvas.[9]
2017–2018: Produce 101 and Wanna One
In 2017, NU'EST halted all promotions while JR, Baekho, Minhyun, and Ren participated in the second season of the series Produce 101.[10][11][12]
In the third episode of the series, Hwang picked the members for 'Sorry Sorry Team 2', for which he was nicknamed 'producer' and 'CEO Hwang' by online commenters.[13] In the "Position" challenge, he covered I.O.I's "Downpour" and the view count of his fancam reached 1 million within three days.[14] In the "Concept" challenge, he was the center of "Never" team, which charted at number one in multiple music charts.[15] At the end of the program, he ranked 9th, becoming one of the final 11 members to debut in Wanna One. In accordance with the series’ contract, he promoted exclusively as a member of Wanna One for the duration of the group's contract of 1.5 years.[16]
2019–Present: Return to NU'EST and solo projects
While his Wanna One contract officially ended on December 31, 2018, Hwang did not officially return to NU'EST until the end of January 2019.[17] This was due to Pledis and Swing Entertainment coming to an agreement that allowed him to attend scheduled year-end shows and award ceremonies throughout January 2019 as a member of Wanna One.[17] His final Wanna One activity before returning to NU'EST was a final concert (titled Therefore) that was held across four days, ending on January 27, 2019.[17]
He, along with the rest of NU'EST, announced their contract renewal with Pledis Entertainment on February 1, 2019.[18][19]
On March 15, Hwang participated in his first song since returning to NU'EST, a special digital single "A Song For You" to celebrate the seventh anniversary of their debut.[20]
On April 3, he released a digital solo single "Universe" as the pre-release single from the group's first comeback since 2016, Happily Ever After.[21] The single is accompanied by the music video shot in Budapest and Milan.[22] Later in the year, Hwang made his musical theater debut as Count Axel von Fersen in the Seoul revival of the musical Marie Antoinette, which ran from August until November 2019.[23]
On June 26, 2020, Hwang was cast in the lead role of Go Eun-taek in the JTBC drama Live On, which aired from November 2020 to January 2021.[24]
A day after the release of NU'EST's second album Romanticize on April 2021, Pledis Entertainment announced that he will play one of the lead roles in the upcoming tvN drama Return, written by the Hong Sisters.[25]
