Kim Yong Hwan (Hangul: 이든; born July 12, 1988), known professionally by his stage names Eden (Hangul: 이든; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean singer-songwriter and record producer. Under KQ Entertainment, he made his solo debut in 2017. He is most well known as the leader of Eden-ary, the production team for Ateez and Xikers.[5]
His stage name references the Biblical garden because he has always wanted to make music in the most natural and basic way.[3]
Career[edit]
He's had a talent for playing the piano since a young age, influenced by musicians such as Frédéric Chopin and Sergei Rachmaninoff that inspired him to pursue a career in music. He'd already mastered composing Classical music. He decided to become a singer and composer, and he moved to Seoul from his hometown Yeonsu for learning Popular music. He taught himself how to compose and produce it.[2]
In 2010, a file of his music that he'd sent to his friend ended up in the hands of Source Music. He started as a composer in 2010, participating in SS501's Kim Hyung-jun' album My Girl. He joined a production team Eden Beatz with musician J.Rise, and released their album in 2012.[3]
He joined the military and completed his service in 2013, and then ended up leaving Source Music.[2]
KQ Entertainment happened to reach out to him, and began to work with him. He lived in a studio at the company for the next two years and went on to be co-producers with Hyun-sik of BtoB and Woodz.[3]
He made his own solo debut at the age of 29 with the single album Urban Hymns on February 17, 2017.[2]
He is currently the primary producer for labelmate Boy bands.[6] Ateez made their debut on October 24, 2018, and Xikers made their debut on March 30, 2023.[7]
