SM Entertainment's newly revealed male trainee is already drawing attention.

Hamin was introduced in the latest batch of individual and group teasers for SMTR25, the set of male trainees under the company who are presumably preparing for an upcoming debut. The final member lineup for a new boy group has not yet been confirmed.

Famously referred to as "the bicycle boy" due to his brief appearance in SM Entertainment's 30th Anniversary Brand Film, Hamin is gaining increasing attention for his pure and refined visuals.

On online forums, netizens are expressing excitement over his official reveal. Born in 2006, Hamin is said to resemble several top Korean male stars, including RIIZE's Sungchan, Im Si Wan, The Boyz' Younghoon, Bae Jin Young, Kim Yo Han, and NU'EST's Jonghyun, according to commenters.

Many also expressed surprise at his age, joking about how "all such handsome boys are all locked up in SM's basement as trainees."

More reactions include:

"New visual center. Let's go."


"Finally"


"He looks tall"


"Oh, he’s handsome. We don’t know when he’ll debut, right?"


"His facial structure is really cool"


"His shoulders look broad—could he be tall too?"


"Where does SM keep finding kids like this?"


"SM brought in another one like this... skip meals"


"He’s definitely going to debut"


"The permed hair is cute, but he’d probably look even better without it lol. Hamin, hurry up and debut~~"


"It’s crazy, all the handsome ones really must be at SM"


"He’s handsome. I was already surprised by how good-looking Wonbin was during RIIZE’s debut, but how do they keep discovering and training guys like this? Is it easier for a big company to secure good-looking and talented ones?"


"Seriously, where do they keep finding kids like this?"


"I liked him the most from the beginning. He’s simply good-looking"


"Wow... how does SM do this..."


"Twenty is the perfect age to debut lol. Hurry up and debut~~~~ he’s going to collect fans like crazy lolol"

"I’ve been seeing more trainees appear one by one, but I’ve never seen anyone look like that just walking down the street. Where do they keep finding them? It’s really fascinating"


"He has a pure and pretty look. Oh... total center material"


"He’s the center. So handsome and has a friendly vibe"


"All the good-looking Korean guys were apparently locked up at SM"


"I feel like Nicholas will be the center... like RIIZE’s Wonbin and Sungchan, it’s going to be a two-top visual situation"
