Hanbin (Ngô Ngọc Hưng), was born in Yên Bái City, Vietnam. He self-learned dancing since he was 15, according to his online fanmeeting. He moved to Hanoi for university where he found and led a dance group, CAC, for three years (2016-2019) under the stage name Hưng Bin. Hanbin started training on July 2019, according to his I-LAND profile, after passing the audition in Hanoi.
On June 2, 2020, he was introduced as a participant in the CJ ENM and Big Hit Entertainment's then upcoming survival show I-LAND. On the first episode, he performed "Jopping" by SuperM, along with NI-KI and Nicholas, but was unfortunately 'eliminated' by voting among the trainees and was placed in "Ground". On the 7th episode, he ranked 12th based on the global votes and was able to move onto Part 2 and become one of the final 12.[2] On Episode 10, Hanbin ranked 4th out of 11 trainees in Global Voting with 1,415,420 votes.[3] On Episode 11, he was eliminated by the producers.
Following his elimination on I-LAND, on October 20, Belift Lab announced that Hanbin would be holding an online fanmeeting called Hanbin !00% on October 31. On December 16, he opened up a Twitter account[4] on which he gathered over 150,000 followers in 24 hours. On December 31, Hanbin performed a solo pre-opening stage[5] at Big Hit NYEL Concert to the song "I&Credible."[6]
On June 2, 2021, Belift Lab announced that Hanbin had left the agency following discussions with one another.[7] Later that day, it was revealed that Hanbin had signed with Yuehua Entertainment.[8]
