HONG (홍) is a vocalist and performer in GRID Entertainment’s five-member boy group POW. Born on June 23, 2005, he is the youngest member of the lineup, a role often described in K-pop as the maknae. Since the group’s 2023 debut, he has developed his public career through studio recordings, choreography, promotional events and performances with the team.

The youthful character of POW’s earliest songs, including Favorite, Amazing and Dazzling, provided a natural setting for HONG’s introduction to audiences. As the group’s sound expanded through Boyfriend, Valentine and the 2025 Being Tender project, he continued to participate in increasingly varied concepts and performances.

In a 2025 interview, HONG recalled encouragement from DONGYEON during trainee life, illustrating the importance of mutual support within the team. His relationship with older members is part of the group’s shared story, but his identity is not limited to being the youngest: he also contributes vocally and visually to the collective stage presentation.

POW’s 2026 releases, including Flavor, continued that development as the members focused on greater creative participation and more challenging performance ideas. HONG’s documented career remains primarily within POW rather than through independent solo music; no separately released solo album or single has been verified for this profile.
