-Lee Jaeon was born and raised in Gwangju, South Korea
-He is the eldest of three siblings and took on a caretaking role early in life. His father was a philosophy professor, and his mother a music teacher, which led to a home filled with deep conversation and classical melodies.
-At 15, he auditioned for KR▲KEN Entertainment quietly, without telling his parents at first. His audition piece — a self-written composition based on a Greek myth — deeply impressed the judges. It was clear he wasn’t just a singer; he was a storyteller.
-Jaeon trained for 6 years, becoming known among trainees as the “pillar.” Not because he was flashy or loud — but because he never wavered. He helped younger trainees study choreography, revised lyrics for those struggling, and always shared his food. The staff took notice of his leadership, emotional maturity, and strong moral compass.
During his trainee period, he also took music production lessons and quietly submitted compositions. Several were selected as B-sides for other KR▲KEN artists, though he remained anonymous at the time.
Despite being a trainee, he was unofficially dubbed “trainee leader” by others long before debut. His calm presence made even the hardest days easier.
-When ΞION was formed, Jaeon was the natural choice for leader. Not only was he the eldest, but he was the heart of the group. The members often describe him as a “living compass,” always guiding, protecting, and believing in them — even during self-doubt.
Though he carries immense responsibility, Jaeon isn’t a cold leader. He buys snacks when others forget to eat, listens without judgment, and occasionally throws in dry one-liners that leave everyone in stitches. He doesn’t dominate with power — he leads with presence.
-Jaeon's animal counter part is lion named Jaeru : Soft-spoken king of the plushies. Has sleepy eyes and a gentle aura. Wears a velvet cape.

Minjae
Stage Name: Minjae (민재)
Birth Name: Kang Minjae (강민재)
Position: Rapper, Sub-Vocalist, Moodmaker
Birthday: June 5, 1993
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Height: 178 cm (5'10")
Blood Type: B
MBTI: ENTP
Nationality: Korean
Languages: Korean, basic English
Rap Tone Style: Dry. Sharp. Charismatic.
Vocal Tone Style: Lightly gritty. Casual. Smoothly cheeky.
Representative Color: Storm Teal 3A646C
- charismatic, bold, and effortlessly fun. He thrives on energy, teasing the younger members with a sparkle in his eye, then vanishing like he did nothing wrong. He starts the mischief with an angelic grin… and watches from the sidelines when chaos unfolds.
He’s the member who gets the maknae line riled up, drops perfectly timed jokes during interviews, and winks at fans like they’re in on the secret. He’s smart, a little unpredictable, and secretly very protective of his members and AEON.
-Born in Incheon, South Korea
-Minjae’s first love wasn’t music — it was attention. But music quickly became a stage where he could channel all that fire. He joined his school’s hip hop club on a dare, and something just clicked. His rhymes weren’t just funny — they were clever, fast, and full of personality.
He began performing in small underground circles in Incheon and Seoul under a casual name, mixing comedy with intense bars. One of his early rap videos unexpectedly blew up online, earning attention for his bold style and humorous delivery.
KR▲KEN Entertainment scouted him shortly after — drawn in by both his natural stage presence and his undeniable charisma.
-Minjae was a bit of a wildcard as a trainee. He was one of the loudest, most chaotic members in the practice room — but also one of the most consistent. He worked hard, but never let it show. If he was struggling, he masked it with jokes. If others were down, he distracted them with wild antics until they forgot to cry.
He wasn’t always taken seriously at first — until evaluations came, and he dominated with sharp flow and stage command. Slowly, the staff and other trainees began to realize: Minjae wasn’t just a clown. He was a performer, and a clever one at that.
-In ΞION, Minjae is the spark — the one who keeps the room alive, who breaks the tension with a joke or a dramatic faint when no one’s laughing. He plays the role of the “mischievous uncle,” hyping up the younger members, starting fake drama, and somehow getting away with everything.
But beneath the chaos, he's incredibly attuned to group dynamics. He knows when someone needs a boost. He knows when the leader needs a break. He’ll never admit it out loud, but he watches out for everyone — just behind a mask of mischief.
-Minjae’s ideal type is "Someone who can take a joke… and throw one back."
-Minjae's animal counterpart is a fox named Jinji : Playful trickster plushie with a cheeky grin and a bandana. Leaves chaos (and snacks) wherever he goes.

Raehyun
Stage Name: Raehyun (래현)
Birth Name: Yoo Raehyun (유래현)
Position: Lead Dancer, Main Vocalist, Visual
Birthday: October 1, 1994
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Height: 185 cm (6'1")
Blood Type: AB
MBTI: ESFP
Nationality: Korean
Languages: Korean, conversational English
Training Period: 4 years
Signature Color: Deep Rose (Dark Magenta / Wine Rose)
Vocal Tone Style: Smooth. Honeyed. Expressive.
-Raehyun is the group's flirt and visual firestorm. Every move on stage is calculated to melt the camera, and every fancam of him becomes a viral threat. He's the type of idol who locks eyes with the lens like it's his lover — intense, sultry, and undeniably magnetic.
While he's confident and seductive during performances, off-stage Raehyun is laid-back, cheeky, and charmingly grounded. He has a teasing way with words, but always knows his limits. He’s a natural flirt — with the fans. Never his members. (He flirts with cameras only.)
He’s the member that fans call the “dangerous one,” not for attitude — but because no one survives one of his hip rolls or smirking glances.
-Raehyun was born and raised in Seoul, the only child in a middle-class household that encouraged freedom, self-expression, and quiet confidence. From a young age, he was the kind of kid who caught your eye without trying — calm, poised, and magnetic in that effortless way that made others follow his lead without him saying much.
His family wasn’t flashy, but they had taste. His mother was an art teacher with an eye for beauty, and his father was a voice actor with a deep baritone and a love for music. It’s no surprise Raehyun inherited both the grace of a dancer and the voice of a performer.
While he wasn’t the loudest or most energetic child, he had a quiet boldness. Teachers often said, “He walks like he’s on a runway,” and classmates either had a crush on him or asked him for skincare tips — sometimes both.
-Raehyun’s first love was dance, and it began early. At 10, he enrolled in a beginner’s ballet class because a friend dared him to — and never looked back. From there, he moved through contemporary, jazz, and eventually hip-hop, mixing fluidity with sharp power.
By the time he hit high school, Raehyun was leading the performance crew and choreographing festival stages. He was already known in Seoul’s underground dance circles by 16, often recruited by older dancers to join showcases and performance videos.
What made him different wasn’t just technique — it was his presence. He didn’t dance for the crowd; he danced like the crowd wasn’t even there — and somehow, that made everyone look.
-He never planned to audition. A scout from KR▲KEN Entertainment spotted him at a local performance showcase and asked if he’d consider training. Raehyun wasn’t sold — until he realized the stage he craved could be even bigger. After one informal audition where he performed a self-choreographed piece to Sorry, Sorry Super Junior.
Raehyun’s ideal type is, “Someone who knows they’re irresistible — but doesn’t show it off.”
-Raehyun's animal counter part is a peacock named Rayku : Glamorous and confident. Feathers shaped like hearts. Loves to strut and wink. Wears sparkly shades. Fierce, scowling eyebrows that give him a powerful, seductive glare

Taeoh
Stage Name: Taeoh (태오)
Birth Name: Kim Taeho (김태호)
Position: Main Rapper, Sub-Vocalist
Birthday: December 9, 1996
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
Birthplace: Incheon, South Korea
Blood Type: O
Height: 182 cm (6'0")
MBTI: ENFJ
Signature Color: Dusty Blue (Slate Blue / Muted Sky)
Vocal Tone Style: Deep. Resonant. Soothing.
Rap Tone Style: Gravelly. Controlled. Intense.
-Taeoh is the human embodiment of the phrase “husband material” — with just enough troublemaker energy to keep things exciting. Warm, bright, and approachable, he's the type who remembers your coffee order, laughs at your jokes (even the bad ones), and instinctively makes space for others to shine.
Fans love him for his boy-next-door appeal mixed with a quiet confidence that shows up strongest on stage. Despite being charming and friendly, Taeoh can flip into “cool mode” when he starts rapping — delivering bars with power, precision, and a low, charismatic tone that surprises even first-time listeners.
He has a soft spot for the maknae line, though he pretends to scold them, and his affection shows in little gestures: adjusting microphones, sharing snacks, or carrying bags without being asked.
He hates aegyo but ends up doing it better than anyone, especially when the members or fans beg.
Taeoh grew up in Daegu, in a middle-class family with strong family values. He’s the second of three siblings, with an older sister and a younger brother. His parents run a small but beloved local restaurant, and from a young age, Taeoh helped out — washing dishes, prepping ingredients, and chatting with customers. That’s where his friendly, warm, and service-minded nature was born.
- Even though he dreamed big, he always stayed grounded. His parents raised him to be responsible and humble — the kind of person who takes care of others before himself, a habit that stuck with him in his idol life.
- Taeoh wasn’t always confident. He was quiet as a kid, often hiding behind his sister when meeting new people. But everything changed when he discovered rap through Korean hip hop videos in middle school — particularly idol rappers who blended charisma with emotion.
- He started writing lyrics in his school notebooks, mostly as a way to express himself. His older sister noticed and encouraged him to audition. With her help, he sent in clips to several companies. KR▲KEN Entertainment saw potential in his deep vocal tone and raw sincerity, and he became a trainee at 16.
- Taeoh wasn't the loudest or flashiest trainee — but he was one of the hardest working. Known for being a quiet force in the practice room, he was always the one encouraging others during tough days.
- He struggled with dancing at first but threw himself into practice. Over time, he developed a powerful, grounded dance style that now defines his stage presence.
- Taeoh also gained a reputation for being everyone’s “safe space.” Trainees would go to him to vent or cry. He rarely cried himself — but if someone else was hurting, he’d sit with them until they were okay.
- Taeoh's animal counter part is a tiger named Ttohi : Bouncy, huggable, and a little shy. Always blushing when asked to do aegyo. Has a tiny hoodie.
Syx
Stage Name: SYX (pronounced “six”)
Real Name: Ok Insung (옥인성)
Birthday : November 7, 1997
Zodiac sign: Scorpio
Born in: Incheon, South Korea
Blood Type: AB
Height: 175 cm (5’9”)
Position: Lead Rapper, Sub-Vocalist
Representative Color: Charcoal Black
Tattoo: Black flame tattoo on the left side of his neck — represents passion, rebellion, and transformation
-SYX was born and raised in Incheon, South Korea. He’s an only child, raised by a single mother who worked two jobs to support them — one at a night market food stall and another as a part-time cleaner. That upbringing made him fiercely independent from a young age, and also deeply loyal to the few people he considers "his."
Despite the hard times, his mother encouraged his artistic side. He was a rebellious kid, always drawing, beatboxing, and writing lyrics in his notebooks during class. His teachers often called him “smart but stubborn.”
SYX fell in love with music through old-school Korean hip hop and R&B — Epik High, Dynamic Duo, and Jay Park were his earliest inspirations. He started performing on the streets of Hongdae as a teen under a different alias, earning a reputation for his raw, aggressive freestyle battles.
At 17, he was scouted at an underground showcase and eventually signed to KR▲KEN Entertainment after they noticed both his talent and his polarizing charisma.
He initially resisted the idol path, but once he met the members of ΞION, he realized he could be both an artist and an icon. He’s been burning up the stage ever since.
Appears cold, sharp, and cocky at first glance
Actually very protective of the younger members, often pays for their meals without saying anything.
Terrible at expressing his emotions directly, but puts them in his lyrics
Once nursed a stray cat back to health and now donates to an animal shelter anonymously

Can open a soda can with one hand (claims it's a “survival skill”)
Has terrible handwriting but insists it’s “artistic”
Known for his legendary spicy ramen tolerance
Secretly good at drawing – especially wolves and abstract flame patterns
Keeps a worn notebook filled with lyrics, quotes, and half-finished ideas

-Syx's animal counter part is a wolf named Vyxie : Cool and mischievous. Often caught flashing a fangy smile. Wears a little crop jacket.
-He has a black cat named Mugunghwa (무궁화) or Mugu (무구) for short. Fans call the pair “SYX & Mugu-nim” like a royal duo.

Ian
Stage Name: Ian (이안)
Full Name: Han Lee-an (한리안)
Position: Lead Vocalist, Maknae
Birthday: March 4,1999
Zodiac Sign: Pisces
Height: 177 cm (5'10")
Blood Type: AB
Nationality: Korean
Representative Color: Ivory White
MBTI: INTJ
Training Period: 3 years
Known as the "prince" or "royal maknae" of the group due to his elegant visuals and refined stage presence.
Sweet, mature, and adored by the hyungs — often doted on but carries himself with grace.
Has a calm and gentle speaking voice, often brings a grounding presence during chaotic moments.
Loves soft fashion, perfumes, and aesthetic things, but avoids acting overly cute.
Despite being the youngest, he’s known for his emotional intelligence and poise.
Fans admire his poised visuals, delicate features, and clear, powerful vocals.
Inspired by artists like Youngjae (GOT7) and Jungkook (BTS) for vocal tone and performance presence.
Fluent in Korean and learning English for international fans.
Han Lee-an, known by his stage name Ian, was born in Seoul, South Korea, into a quiet and supportive household. From a young age, Ian showed an unusual sense of calm and emotional maturity, often surprising adults with his thoughtful observations and graceful demeanor. Unlike many children his age, he preferred classical piano to cartoons, and was more likely to be found sketching, singing softly to himself, or curating playlists than causing mischief.
Music was always central to Ian’s life. He began vocal lessons at age 10 after a teacher noticed his ability to hold complex notes with control and emotional depth. His voice, clear and expressive even in childhood, became his primary way of expressing himself. While naturally shy in unfamiliar settings, he came alive when performing — especially ballads and emotionally resonant songs.
At age 14, he was scouted at a youth vocal competition and later joined KR▲KEN Entertainment as a trainee. Though younger than most of the others, he earned quiet respect for his discipline, self-awareness, and ability to learn quickly. While his looks and soft aura labeled him early on as a “visual,” his vocal strength, dedication, and elegant stage presence solidified his place in the final lineup of ΞION.
As the maknae, Ian carries a unique duality — deeply loved and often protected by the older members, yet naturally composed and emotionally steady. Off-stage, he is kind, reserved, and thoughtful. On stage, he transforms into a commanding presence, delivering vocals with both technical skill and heartfelt emotion.
Despite his refined image, Ian is not aloof — he’s deeply connected to his fans, always striving to improve and communicate through his music. He’s known for his quiet routines: journaling, late-night tea, reading poetry, and practicing vocal runs long after rehearsals end.
Ian dreams of releasing a solo project that blends contemporary pop and orchestral elements, and one day composing a full-length album based on letters from fans.
-Ian's animal counterpart is a Swan named Ianni : Elegant and refined. Has a tiny crown and always perfect posture. Known to pout when ignored.

Uncovering the Myth, the Power, the Purpose.
In a world saturated with noise, chaos, and fleeting fame, ΞION stands as a signal from another realm—a message etched in myth and reborn in music.
The name ΞION (pronounced Zion) is no accident. It evokes the image of a sacred place—untouchable, transcendent, eternal. But for this group, it's not just a place. It's a mission.
According to KR▲KEN Entertainment’s official lore, ΞION's members are not just performers—they are the reincarnations of forgotten gods, torn from their divine thrones and cast into the modern world. Stripped of their celestial power, they awaken as mortals, haunted by fragments of their past lives. Each bears a symbol—an echo of the power they once held, etched into their soul and expressed in their performance.
Their journey is not one of regaining fame or fortune. It is a search for identity, a battle against erasure, and a climb back to ascension. Through their music, they reawaken their true forms—and challenge the very world that forgot them.
Each member of ΞION represents a mythic force—not tied to any one culture, but drawn from the archetypes that span across time and civilizations. Whether it be fire, desire, time, war, or light, their symbols are woven through lyrics, visuals, choreography, and even their individual charisma.
In their debut era, these motifs remain hidden in plain sight, encouraging fans (called AEON) to decode clues through MV storylines, concept photos, and lyrical double meanings. The more the members remember, the more powerful they become—both on stage and in lore.
In the world of humans, ΞION blends in as idols—flawless, magnetic, untouchable. But behind the scenes, they walk a tightrope between memory and illusion. Fame becomes a double-edged sword: the brighter their spotlight, the closer they get to unveiling the truth... but also to being hunted by forces that once sealed them away.
Their ultimate goal? To return to their sacred realm—ZION—not as fallen relics, but as reborn gods who have mastered both divinity and mortality.
From their thunderous debut with “GHOST PROTOCOL” to the cryptic elegance of "SYMBOL," ΞION has made it clear: they are not here to blend in. They are here to reclaim.
And for AEON, this is no ordinary fandom. This is a covenant. A pact to witness a legend unfolding—track by track, stage by stage, memory by memory.
ΞION is not just a group. They are a revelation.
Are you ready to remember them?
#RememberΞION
#AEONAwakens
#TheMythReturns
ΞION (pronounced "Zion") is a stylized name rich with symbolism, crafted to reflect the group’s mythic, celestial themes and timeless aura.
Ξ (Xi) – A Greek letter rarely used, symbolizing the unknown, the esoteric, and the forbidden divine. It visually evokes a trident, wings, or beams of light, depending on interpretation — all tied to gods and ascension.
ION – Refers to energy, charge, and movement. In science, ions are particles that gain or lose energy — in this case, the members of ΞION are charged with power from myth and memory, and their presence alters everything around them.
Together, ΞION represents:
“Beings of divine energy, awakened in a modern world — where myth is memory and music is power.”
The name evokes a sacred place (Zion), a state of transformation, and a force that cannot be contained.
It positions the group as more than idols — they are legends reborn, moving between the mortal and the divine.
Every light stick tells a story — and for ΞION, it’s not just a symbol of fandom, but a beacon of myth reborn in the modern world. With the debut of CODE: ELYSIUM, fans are now invited to wield their own piece of godly legacy. Let’s break down the symbolic design of ΞION’s official light stick, lovingly nicknamed “THE CROWN RELIC” by fans.
🌌 The Celestial Orb (Top Dome)
At the heart of the light stick lies a crystalline sphere, representing the heavens — the mythic plane where gods once reigned. Encased within is a glowing crown, the emblem of divine right and destiny, hovering over an etched, otherworldly urn symbolizing ancient power sealed away. The spherical shape evokes eternity, cycles of rebirth, and divine omnipresence — aligning with ΞION’s overarching theme of fallen gods reclaiming their thrones.
The interior's electric blue cross-light slices through the orb like an astral alignment, referencing both cosmic order and celestial chaos.
Inside the orb, the stylized ΞION logo rests beneath the crown — a reminder that this power belongs to the members and their fans, AEON, together.
🪽 The Wings of Ascent (Base Support)
Supporting the orb are a pair of sleek, black wings — symbolizing rebirth and transcendence. These wings reference the myth of Icarus, phoenix lore, and fallen angels alike — echoing ΞION’s transformation from mortals to mythic icons. They're open and lifted, suggesting forward momentum and ascension — just like AEON lifting their idols with every cheer.
🕯️ The Relic Staff (Handle)
The matte-black handle is minimalistic yet regal — a stark contrast to the glowing upper half. Its sleekness makes it easy to grip during performances or fan chants, while its shadowy finish symbolizes the group’s origin in darkness before ascending toward light. The base is balanced and weighted for ease of use, embodying stability in contrast to the cosmos above.
🔻 The Twin Charms (Dangling Symbols)
Hanging delicately from chains beneath the wings are two hexagonal crystal charms:
One is crimson, representing blood, passion, and sacrifice — a nod to the trials each member and fan endures.
The other is a translucent cube engraved with the double-W — stylized to resemble both the group's name and a mirrored sigil. This symbolizes duality and fate, key motifs in ΞION’s storytelling.
These charms aren’t just accessories — they serve as tokens of loyalty, swaying gently like pendulums of time, a fitting homage to the mythology and cosmic fate that defines ΞION’s universe.
🧬 Hidden Technology & Light Modes
Beyond its aesthetic beauty, the light stick is designed with:
Multiple light modes: including celestial pulse (slow rhythm), god mode (flashing), eclipse sync (fandom wave coordination), and relic glow (constant ambient light).
Bluetooth connectivity: allowing concert synchronization during performances.
Customization-ready: Fans can insert colored filters or etched pieces into a concealed base slot for personalized resonance.
This is more than merchandise — it’s a relic. A weapon of light. A symbol of rebirth, loyalty, and myth made flesh. When AEONs raise the CROWN RELIC together, it becomes a constellation — each lightstick a star in the divine constellation that is ΞION.
Together, you don’t just support the gods.
You awaken them.
