May 6, 1992), simply known as Baekhyun, is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member and one of the main vocalists of the South Korean-Chinese boy groupContents
Early life
Baekhyun was born on May 6, 1992 in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. He has a brother named Byun Baek-beom who is seven years older than him.[1] Baekhyun began training to be a singer when he was 11 years old, influenced by South Korean singer Rain.[2] He attended Jungwon High School in Bucheon, where he was the lead singer in a band called Honsusangtae (lit. "coma") and won a local music festival. He received piano lessons from Kim Hyun-woo, member of South Korean rock band DickPunks.[3] In addition to musical activities, Baekhyun trained as a martial artist in his youth and has a black belt in Hapkido.[4]
Baekhyun was spotted by an S.M. Entertainment agent while he was studying for the entrance exams to the Seoul Institute of the Arts. He later joined S.M. Entertainment in 2011 through the S.M. Casting System.[5] Along with fellow Exo members Chanyeol and Suho, Baekhyun attended Kyung Hee Cyber University and took online classes for Culture and Arts Department of Business Administration.[6]

Baekhyun was one of the last trainees to be added to Exo's line-up,[7] and was officially revealed to be the group's ninth member on January 30, 2012.[8]
In April 2015, Baekhyun released the first solo song since his debut titled "Beautiful" as soundtrack for Exo's web-drama Exo Next Door. The song became the first soundtrack single from a web drama to top digital charts.[9] In May 2015, Baekhyun and fellow Exo members Chanyeol and Chen as well as various other artists recorded the theme song "The Day We Met" for KBS's special television program I Am Korea in celebration of the 70th National Liberation Day of Korea. In September 2015, he participated in the recording of the song "One Dream One Korea" for the campaign of the same name. In December 2015, Baekhyun paid tribute to the late South Korean singer Kim Hyun-sik by performing his song "Like Rain Like Music" at SBS's year-end music program Gayo Daejeon. The studio recording of his rendition was later released digitally.[10]
In January 2016, Baekhyun and Miss A member Suzy released a duet titled "Dream". The song quickly reached the top on online real-time music charts[11] and later debuted at number one on Gaon's weekly digital chart.[12] "Dream" also won first place five times in total on music television programs Music Bank and Inkigayo. In April 2016, Baekhyun received a YinYueTai V-Chart Award for Most Popular Singer in South Korea. In May 2016, Baekhyun and South Korean singer K.Will released a folk-ballad duet titled "The Day" as part of S.M. Entertainment's music project Station.[13]

In July 2014, Baekhyun made his musical theatre debut, playing the main role of Don Lockwood in the South Korean production by SM C&C of the musical Singin' in the Rain.[14]
In May 2015, Baekhyun was announced to be starring in an action film titled Dokgo alongside actor Yeo Jin-goo,[15] however production of the film was announced to have been cancelled in January 2016.[16] In November 2015, Baekhyun was confirmed to be playing a supporting role in SBS's periodical television drama series Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, a South Korean adaptation of the 2011 Chinese television series Scarlet Heart, alongside actors Lee Joon-gi, Kang Ha-neul,[17] and actresses IU, Seohyun.[18] Filming for the series began in January 2016.[18]

In February 2014, Baekhyun and fellow Exo member Suho became regular hosts for the SBS music television show Inkigayo.[19] They left the position in November 2014 to focus on Exo's upcoming comeback.[20]
Personal life
On June 19, 2014, S.M. Entertainment confirmed that Baekhyun and fellow S.M artist Girls Generation member Taeyeon are in a relationship.[21] In September 2015, their relationship was rumored to have ended. S.M. Entertainment has yet to respond to these rumors.[22]
