CLOSE YOUR EYES

BIOGRAPHY

CLOSE YOUR EYES (Korean: 클로즈 유어 아이즈) is a seven member South Korean boy group from Seoul, formed through the JTBC survival programme Project 7 and debuting on 2 April 2025 with the EP Eternalt.

The members are Jeon Min-wook, Ma Jingxiang, Jang Yeo-jun, Kim Sung-min, Song Seung-ho, Kenshin and Seo Kyoung-bae. Jeon Min-wook, the leader and main rapper, also works as an actor and holds a profile of his own in this catalogue; he had previously debuted with BAE173 in 2020, which also has a page here.

The group records for Uncore, a label formed jointly by SLL and YG Plus.

The group moved quickly after Eternalt. The second mini album Snowy Summer followed in July 2025 and the third, Blackout, in November 2025, the latter certified double platinum in South Korea. By their first anniversary the three releases had passed 1.2 million copies between them, and the group had collected eight rookie awards.

Their touring began with BEYOND YOUR EYES, taking in Seoul, Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka before a Hong Kong date, and later widened into Asia, North America and Europe. They performed at the Golden Disc Awards, were picked by Spotify as a Super Rookie, and Billboard listed one of their releases among its 25 best K-pop albums of 2025.
