Lee Hong Bin is a South Korean singer, dancer, actor and former member of VIXX (빅스). He graduated from Jayang High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Musical Studies from Dong-Ah Broadcasting Arts University and a master's degree in Applied Music from Baekseok University.

He participated in Mnet's survival show "MyDOL" and was chosen via an elimination system through viewer votes. He made his debut in May 2012 as VIXX's lead rapper, vocalist, visual and face of the group with their first single album, "Super Hero". The group is managed by Jellyfish Entertainment (젤리피쉬엔터테인먼트).

However, in February 2020, he made controversial comments towards other idol groups during a live Twitch stream while visibly drinking alcohol. The next day, he and Jellyfish issued an apology for his behavior, but he was heavily criticized by the public and the media.

In August 2020, he announced his departure from the group as his contract was terminated by the company. He decided to enlist for his mandatory military service a few days later, on August 18, 2020, and was discharged on February 17, 2022.

After his release, he is active as a Twitch streamer.
