He failed to make the cut into Chinese Idol as he was placed 60th and immediately dropped out from the show.

Lee Hoe-taek (born August 28, 1993), better known as Hui, is a South Korean singer, songwriter, composer, and actor.

Hui was born on August 28, 1993, in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do Province, South Korea.

They released a remake of Lee Won-jin and Ryu Keum-deok's 1994 classic "For All the New Lovers".

At Pentagon's debut showcase, Hui explained the meaning behind his name: believing Lee Hoe-taek, his real name, is difficult to pronounce (particularly for foreigners), he settled on Hui as a mononym.

During a stay in China, he discovered local people pronounce the first syllable of his name, Hoe/Hwe, as “Hui/Hwee”, which inspired his decision.
