No Longer "HyunA's Boyfriend"? How DAWN Completely Reinvented Himself As A Soloist!

[@mwon1673]

the way i got to know hyuna through him💀 he is insanely talented and i hope he gets the recognition he deserves love him so much

[@baoziday5178]

Same, I only knew HyunA after finding Pentagon and Triple H and Dawn immediately became my bias. His new album is so beautiful and I'm wishing the best

[@najsupernova9434]

Same! I found him through his Money MV and learned bout their story that way

[@daniellaenisan3587]

His album is just amazing. Every song shines in their own way . He deserves every bit of support he can get🥰

[@midzycarotbunny-ul5wv]

I'm so glad dawn is finally successful as a soloist now. I love hyuna but to only ever label him as her boyfriend is just messed up considering how much potential he has on his own. and not too many people realize that hes been overshadowed by his association with hyuna. I'm so glad he can finally show his true potential and relaunch his career as an artist with the attention and promotion he desearves. I wish them both nothing but the best because they've both worked so hard and desearve all the greatest things in life. Also love you kookielit 💚💚💚💚

[@sohappyilltry]

he isnt tho

[@belphieyiu]

@@sohappyilltry Yeah and now we all know hyuna ruined his career by making him drop out for her, then ended up dating a fucking criminal. Poor dude.

[@davidflores6922]

And now Hyuna's career is over and his is rising ❤

[@brinsssicyrine2865]

I agree with everything expect "good" dancer. The dude trained to be a professional dancer before choosing to be an idol. He's such a phenomenal dancer, top 3 of his gen.

[@novascape128]

Soo true! he has such great control of his body. It's a shame nobody talks about him when it comes to 3rd gen dancers though

[@erisotunsa442]

Truee

[@shukuleit]

Omg yes! I remember him dancing his stupid cool song and people covering it. Its such a night and day difference despite others being good at dancing. He is just that great. 👌🏻

[@dunamis9313]

Agree! He is a great dancer! His body contol is perfection!

[@novascape128]

Every single day he climbs the chart, his name hits trending, artists are doing covers of his songs. It makes me so proud! Truly shows that he has always had the potential to be great as a soloist. Ofc always grateful to Pnation for taking him in, but they definitely weren't the best when it came to promoting him solo. Now with @area behind him, he not only has creative freedom but they also pushing him out there. He's doing collabs more often, variety shows, interviews, photoshoots. He's booked and busy and we love to see it. To everyone who hasn't yet heard his album, I highly recommend. There are some great songs (I personally loved them all) and definitely very versatile with different sounds🤍🤍 Shoutout to Kookielit! Loved this video

[@anahisa4496]

I'm so happy he's now able to shine on his own! When I first saw him expanding out of pentagon I remember thinking he reminded me a lot of a young GDragon! Not only does he have a talent for singing and a talent for writing he also has a lot of charisma and his ability to change his sound is definitely gonna help him create a career as stable and loved like GDragon was able to. I really hope they get to collaborate one day!

[@MaraMara89]

Dawn also remind me GDragon - nice to know I am not the only one. My friend thought I am crazy ;)

[@amy_ambrosio]

He's super talented, he deserves to be recognized as himself without anyone else involved (his music is so good, go and check it if u can) 😊

[@teaisashawol]

I absolutely adore Dawn. I didn’t know anything about him or Pentagon but did listen to “Shine” only this year and he IMMEDIATELY stuck out to me. I was sad to find out that he had already left the group but knew I would follow him as a solo artist. He is immensely talented, and deserves all the credit and recognition. Narcissus is proof of that.

[@caylindavids7610]

Ive been rooting for Dawn since his debut in Pentagon. He shines bright producing music with others but seeing him as a true solo artist its clear that he shines brightest in a solo career. He is a talented, humble guy that deserves our support.

[@nadyanah]

DAWN has stated that he was in charge of everything himself at PNATION which put a lot of pressure on him and made him dissatisfied with a lot of his releases. And also explains why it took so long between every release. Now, he's with a great company that has surrounded him with a good team and friends from different artistic backgrounds - we can feel it in every detail. The fact that he released a single AND a physical album, that he had many featuring artists AND other artists working on his album. He's in his own lane now, in the musical lane he was always meant to be in (as Psy himself stated that dawn was very good at more indie music but that he was gonna push him in more mainstream first). Wildflowers (his fandom) are proud of him and we're eagerly waiting for him to return in 2025.

[@zhangberry_]

I'm so glad dawn has finally made his own name. He deserved much better than being known as "hyuna's boyfriend" especially with his talent

[@rithyacheng2199]

I knew Dvwn as a singer from the OST of "The Uncanny Counter", No Problem. That one song made me cry so hard, but also gives me warmth and a sense of secure and healing at the same time. His voice itself seems like it is telling a story with the most soothing way it could be. That's even before I knew he had this much talent. Glad he got to shows more of his potential for us to see and I'm looking forward to support his music. Fighting, Dvwn!

[@nova.1075]

He gives me GDRAGON vibes.

[@MrAntoine1st]

Yessss it's the face

[@nicatina]

Fr. I had a thought he would've gone big in the US like GD if he had never gotten kicked out.

[@LovelyKissess]

He's a clone 😁😂 Jk

[@neinei697]

Exactly.Thats all im thinking too

[@celebiglives9842]

Truly

[@preciouslyunhinged]

I love Dawn current album....I can't move on from "Heart " it's so good,and pentagon is dope...Dawn is super talented

[@MischievousMischief]

His newest album is definitely a banger. But he has actually always been a strong composer, singer and songwriter! I remember Hyunah saying that we helped her write songs during her rolling in the deep era, and she felt bad that she couldn't credit hi at that time.

[@Liz_Lizille]

His album are amazing! Each song makes me want to cry. I know that he will grow more and more.

[@Dramatic_Dramas]

Let's take a moment and appreciate Kookielit 😭❤️

[@Lisaonda-xg]

The potential this guy has is just phenomenal

[@karenv525]

I'm glad he's getting his own time to shine, he's certainly worked for it. Congrats Dawn - Fighting !!

[@ChiZillaaa]

Now hopefully she'll be known as Dawn's ex. She didn't deserve him.

[@KashiKay]

THIS 💯

[@Faloola914]

yes

[@thisbarbieloveskpop]

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@honeymoonavenue97]

Yes. Shes dating a r4pey predatory weirdo now.

[@WhippedForJeonJungkook]

He is DAWN in his own right and he is embarking on a whole new solo career as himself, he will shine, he is super talented, all the best, every success for him

[@milii5675]

I don't usually listen to soloist albums but his?! It's amazing!! All the song are soo beautiful The truth, I think he will have that "Hyuna's (ex)bf"for a long time but he is doing amazing now as his own, I saw him in variety shows too and I like him a lot. It will take some time for ppl to not relate him to her but he is doing well now

[@emmanuelkafata3816]

They together back ?

[@milii5675]

@@emmanuelkafata3816 no, they are just doing their own paths now

[@emmanuelkafata3816]

Ok

[@MidwestDefender]

DAWN always has been a solo artist. Even before he debut, he was dropping bangers. He is just going back to his roots by going solo.

[@LovelyKissess]

I waited for the day to see E'Dawn shine on his own. He was my favorite member in Pentagon, but after he left, it still felt like he was in a group. He didn't have his own identity. I'm happy for him and wish him nothing but the best 💛

[@LorenaPassos28]

His album is AMAZING!! Guys, its really good music. Just listen. I'm a BTOB hardcore fan and I randomly heard his new album... I was shook!!

[@Nisha_xo]

We need more people to stream his music and to stay loyal to his music.

[@maidatariq4934]

I felt really bad for him no one remembred him as a dawn of pentagone but only remembred as a hyuna boyfriend I'm glad that now he can show what he want to show to his fans and everyone that he can do all the things we'll alone

[@janelleeeeeeeee]

Good for him! He must be known as DAWN and not as a shadow of someone else. He’s great and talented! 🙌🏻

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

He does not need to rise up and stand upon her laurels and/or accomplishments. He is an artist in his own right & should be recognised as such. Cheers to you, beautiful & talented young Dawn!!

[@bluewolf2708]

I am so proud of him, I can't put it into words 😭 I hope he continues to grow as an artist and lives a happy life that he creates ❤❤🙏

[@Miyahideko]

Great recap with no exaggerations. We all knew he could do it! Just needed the stars to align for him. Luckily he has many years of success ahead of him in the future!

[@BookieMonsterr]

His current album is amazing, I have Seasons playing on repeat everyday!

[@shanchan8247]

Honestly, Im more of a fan of Dawn than Hyuna. No I don't have any issue with Hyuna, Im talking music preferences.

[@hayatoheaven4958]

Agreed❤❤

[@ginny4427]

i agree with the title... proud of him!

[@mirjammirjam2435]

He has shown the world that he is so much more than Hyuna´s (ex)boyfriend. He didn't put himself first. Like he sang about as well. And maybe even the record label asked him to stand down and let her shine. however, his new album is amazing. He has truly shown how diverse and talented he is. I wish the best for him and I hope the big audience will soon embrace him and his talents.

[@nancymcgee4776]

I think he sounds better and looks better than ever! Never was much fan of their music together just, a little to eccentric for me but, liked his solo stuff. I really like this new album. It's not showy just him being raw and himself which I think to, was very lost when they were a couple. I wouldn't wish break up pain on anyone it's misrable but, I think he's gonna be the one to come out on top once he gets thru to the other side!

[@svarga3794]

I Love dawn's music, he is one of my favorit musicians overall! Thank you for making a Video about him!

[@Klessa8]

GO SUPPORTTT DAWN!!!

[@kjooni]

Idk why PNation didn’t really wanna take a chance on him…they already signed him in…they should’ve at least let him release music

[@waterwitch8902]

Hes been talented before her, P Nation dropped the ball. Dawn is now free to do what his talent can do. I truly like his direction now and look forward to whats coming next.

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I was really rooting for Hyuna and Dawn as a couple, but I wish them both all the success they deserve. They are both so very talented.

[@Violet-fg9db]

He wrote all those amazing song !? WOW !

[@scarletfaith3147]

I never paid attention to her. He is way too talented for that. It is nice to see him putting himself out here. I love his new videos. He will make it!!!!

[@fefongseck2320]

its really true, he reinvented himself. from pentagon to hyuna bf. now is just DAWN. past music is okay. but his current album really so F.k amazing!. really appreciate his talent! he does sometime remind me of G-dragon.

[@brittanym1376]

I actually think the reason why they left P Nation wasn't because he was getting "Overshadowed" that's an exaggeration but I thinks it's because like Jessi Psy wanted them to do a certain type of music and both of them didn't want to do that.

[@leafonatreaa]

Super talented! There’s a reason he caught Hyuna’s eye while he was only a trainee.

[@magdalenapapcunova6254]

I've been a Dawn fan since h they kicked him out of Cube and I couldn't be more proud of him. It has always been a very known fact that his career has been overshadowed by Hyuna. Even when I talked to my friends about him I always had to say Hyunas boyfriend lmao! I'm so proud of him and happy that his music, skill and talent are slowly getting appreciated

[@dunamis9313]

He is a uniquely creative, hard working artist, whose star is on the rise! All his very own talent!

[@deadcactus3823]

I always liked his ❤music even though I rarely like kpop solo artists. His solo releases were fire

[@waterwitch8902]

Hes extremely talented and im glad he's able to show everyone what he capable of.❤

[@myaedentty149]

Maybe this is one of the reasons why most celebrities hide their dating life beside privacy. Her/him ex maybe will overshadowing their name..

[@Sh3rubii]

Dawn's new album is amazing honestly~ Please go listen~ ♥

[@AndznX]

Dawn’s album is honestly SO good. It was my entire camping playlist.

[@Lecintel]

I think it is amazing he wasn’t scared to be open about his relationship with Hyuna, as it would have been easy to lose the identity being with such popular partner

[@kleelee2670]

I always thought he was a very talented artist ~ happy Dawn is doing his own thing.

[@v4leree]

im rooting for him, i know he will do amazing from now on

AND NOW HE EVEN HAS A MAMA NOMINATION FOR DEAR MY LIGHT (i know that he probably will not win it since V was nominated in the same category but still…)

[@shristi1970]

i was not a fan of DAWN before , but the new album changed that , I could not stop listening .

[@JustWhattaRuLookinAt]

Him leaving Pentagon was unfortunate. But him becoming a soloist is also a blessing in disguise at the same time.

[@Allie83829]

I haven’t heard of him since him and Hyunah broke up but this made me interested in his music again, I always liked his music

[@anwarpine6797]

His new album is sooooo good, it makes you wonder what the heck p-nation was doing. In fact do many of their artists even have a full album? Anyways, the new album is fire and makes you feel all the emotions, sooo happy he was able to turn things around

[@remuspierre8038]

Awesome stuff

[@sera_sunoos.favorite.side-eye]

help i got a dawn dish soap ad when i clicked on this vid 💀

[@reyphobic]

im gonna be really honest with you, i didn't know who hyuna is but i listen to dawn daily😭 this rlly shows how he's successfully made his image individually im so proud of him

[@sweetlove5741]

He got me into pentagon. I'm happy for him ☺

[@Sakadayumi]

Why people keep thinking debut as Soloist in Kpop are considered as failed?

[@LovelyKissess]

Because kpop stans are more obsessed with groups because of fantasy purposes

am i the only one who thinks that dawn LOOKS LIKE G-DRAGON? theyre both talented af and i love them both

No you're not the only one, it's the style😅

[@MsArinay-]

People are just ridiculous, if many of you saw him as just “Hyuna’s boyfriend” then that’s a you problem. Don’t step on someone to bring up another, especially if he’s that good. I love them both, but Let’s not forget how things really happened, at this point these people are going to side with Cube lol.

[@Ackermoon13]

This gives me Barbie and Ken xD He is Kenough! I would even say "more than Kenough!"

[@remuspierre7573]

Amazing Topics

[@wonderslala]

His image earlier was pushed as a duo I would say more like sub to Hyuna But now he has the chance to structure his image, style, music according to his wishes And i must say he is doing really well

[@dwiwahyuariani]

Even before hyuna, he is very talented. With hyuna he got overshadowed

[@sleepysarah.]

I think they're both really talented, but I've noticed that even tho they were a couple - which should mean a proper partnership - some videos I saw Hyuna seemed to be somehow more dominant, even seeming snappy at him when he was trying to get her attention towards someone. Maybe that's the pressure of your private life being public, Idk, but if I see that on camera, it makes me wonder how things are off camera.

[@nilachandra4555]

The first time I saw Dawn when he danced Dawndididawn on M2. I didn't know he was Korean cos his style really different with another korean idol i ever seen. I didn't know the song either but the dance captivated me. I started to find out and was surprised that he was not only a dancer but also a song writer and producer. He is so calm and simple demeanor also attracts my attention. I don't really like his relationship with Hyuna, not because I hate Hyuna, but every time they appear together, it's clear how different people act. they respect hyuna and continue to mock dawn. I'm glad Dawn left Pnation because Psy clearly didnt appreciate Dawn's talent, he only sees him as Hyuna's boyfriend and promotes him as such. Choosing At Area is the best thing for his career because even though they didnt promote him on music shows, they continue to show Dawn's talents to the public. I just hope Dawn will make songs that can make him dance again. yeah "Heart" did but I was hoping for a cool dance like dawndididawn with some dancers in the background.

[@nicolemontcadadupont935]

I love this couple so it sucks they ended up breaking up when they were already engaged. Aside from that I am a huge fan of HYUNA she was and will be my bias in 4MINUTE but I hate how DAWN was only seen as "HYUNA's Boyfriend" he is so much more than just that . I really like his music and was already a fan of his not because he was dating Hyuna but he was my bias in PENTAGON I started stanning PENTAGON since their song Gorilla I am glad he is doing great and his songs are hits my favorite song from him is money,

[@tuanacp]

pentagon wasn’t popular? excuse me? they were one of the most popular groups from 2017-2019. Now they are criminally underrated

Yes he's become a good soloist only oddity is he seems to not be able to get over Hyuna as he continues to make music about her like a broken record

[@rica729]

There is a saying "One should not deficate where they eat"... It never ends well ... Giving in into your every impulse never made anyone successful... Lack of discipline is the reason for his Downfall ... He took his whole group down with him ...

I hope nothing but best for Dawn. I'm kinda salty 'cause I was big fan of Hyuna but now.. not so much

[@nanabam3608]

I was wondering what he would do without being "her boyfriend." Good for him. I hope the company knows what they have.

[@tt4days346]

i was a dawn fan pre-hyuna and sorta stopped following after the pnation sign because i felt like the artist i loved so much had gotten enveloped by hyunah and lost his individual style in the process, when his sollo piece dropped i watched it but honestly it just didnt hit the same , started stanning again since the break up( a shame tbh because they were cute together I just didnt like how much it translated into their actual music like I get they are dating but they should still have been 2 seperate artists no?). Looking forwards to his future projects and what he has to offer as dawn and not hyuna+dawn. love to them both

[@alantes]

He has that special star quality. Yet he also became an idol when there was a serious boy idol surplus in the industry. Too many of them; almost all too talented and/or beautiful. He is a proper musician; hence the legitimacy of his career even after his group activities ended. That’s the difference between someone like him and many other group-bound boy idols.

[@violetmoon397]

I feel like they are still together but broke up publicly so they can have privacy and also dawn can have his own career highlighted which is very deserved he is so talented And could I just add is he not everyone’s dream sad anime boy like he gives that vibe with no effort lol

[@emrykin7127]

Genuinely think this is true. Glad I’m not the only one who thought this 😊
