Nicholas

Nicholas — real name Wang Yi-Xiang — is genuinely one of the most quietly impressive members of &TEAM, and I think he flies under the radar more than he should. Born in Taipei in 2002, he gave up a serious competitive badminton career to chase music, which already tells you something about his drive. He speaks four languages — Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English — which in the HYBE Japan ecosystem is an enormous practical asset, but what actually gets me is how naturally he carries himself on stage: no stiffness, just clean, committed performance energy. As the rare Taiwanese male artist cutting through in the Japanese market, he's quietly making history without making a big deal of it, and that low-key confidence is kind of his whole thing.
