Hanjin

Hanjin is the sub vocalist and visual of the Pledis Entertainment boy group TWS, and the only Chinese member of the six-member “boyhood pop” act. Born Han Zhen (韩振) on January 5, 2006, in Xinxiang, Henan, China, Hanjin was scouted in late 2022 through a dance video he posted on Douyin, China’s short-video platform. After being invited to Seoul by Pledis Entertainment, he trained for a little over a year – the shortest training period of any TWS member – before officially debuting with the group on January 22, 2024, with the mini album Sparkling Blue and its lead single “Plot Twist.”

Before joining Pledis, Hanjin had years of kung fu practice behind him, which shaped the clean body control and precise lines he now brings to TWS’s choreography. Vocally, he is known for a soft, warm tone that usually covers the lower parts of TWS’s songs, though he has shown he can hit stable high notes as well, most notably on “Go Back” from the group’s third EP Try with Us. He was also given a featured dance break during the group’s first single “Last Festival.”

Within TWS, Hanjin is affectionately nicknamed the group’s “memory maker” because he is constantly taking candid photos of the other members, and fans and staff alike often describe him as having a doll-like visual – large, sparkling eyes, fair skin, and an easy mix of cute and handsome charm. Since debut, Hanjin has promoted through all of TWS’s Korean and Japanese releases, including Summer Beat!, the single album Last Bell, Try with Us, the group’s Japanese debut single “Nice to See You Again,” Play Hard, and the 2026 EP No Tragedy, while the group has picked up Rookie of the Year honors at multiple Korean music awards shows.

Off stage, Hanjin is known for his good-natured personality, love of swimming and gaming, and a habit of writing thoughtful replies to fans on Weverse. He shares a dorm room with the group’s youngest member, Kyungmin, and is often described by his groupmates as the “gentle older brother” of TWS, despite adjusting to a new country, language, and industry in a very short time before debut.
