Every K-pop group has a “Maknae” (youngest member), but ON:N (born Kim Jihwan in Daegu, 2006) is unique in his combination of high-energy “Krump” dancing and main vocal duties. His stage name, ON:N, reflects his desire to always be “ON” for the fans. A fun fact that often shocks fans is that despite his explosive power on stage, he has only ever attended two formal Krump lessons in his entire life; his skill is largely self-taught from watching videos of his role models, Taemin and PSY. This “prodigy” status has made him a favorite among performance-focused fans who track the group’s growth.
ON:N’s “funny data” largely revolves around his insatiable appetite. He is the self-appointed “Mukbang King” of the group, and he has a daily routine of watching eating videos to unwind. During a “Behind the Hours” vlog, it was revealed that ON:N eats an apple every single morning without fail, claiming it is the secret to his clear skin and high vocal range. However, he is also the most “tech-unlucky” member; like Masami, he lost so many wireless earphones that he now exclusively uses wired ones to ensure he doesn’t lose them mid-travel. This practical, “no-nonsense” approach to life is a hit with older fans who see him as the group’s hardworking younger brother.
Fans who want to support the youngest member often look for specialized goods at the ALL(H)ours Merch Store. The store recently released a line of “Maknae-Line” accessories that ON:N helped design, featuring his signature “baby chick” emoji. As ALL(H)ours prepares for their 2026 Seoul Encore Fancon, ON:N’s growth is a primary focus for the fandom. He has stated that he wants to become a “complete idol” who can handle any genre, from the group’s signature “noise music” to soulful ballads. His journey from a “picky eater” child to a world-touring powerhouse is a narrative that continues to inspire the Min(ut)e worldwide.
