The unknown truth about the members of “ZE:A”-Huang Guangxi
Who is Guangxi?
Huang Guangxi was born on August 25, 1988 in Paju City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. He is an actor, TV personality, and singer, most famously as a member of the K-pop boy band ZE:A. In addition to working with the band, he has also appeared in many variety shows during his career.
Guangxi’s net worth
As of the beginning of 2020, Guangxi’s net assets are estimated to exceed US$1 million, which was obtained through a successful career in the entertainment industry. His collaboration with ZE:A and his appearance on TV put him in the financial position he is today.
Early life and career start
Guangxi has been eager to enter the entertainment business since he was a child, so he started auditioning to become a talent as soon as possible. He was successful when he auditioned for Star Empire Entertainment, which started operations in 2000. He is known for managing artists such as Imfact and ARIAZ. He was once the hometown of artists such as VOS and Nine Muses. In the following years, he trained under the radar and further developed his skills.
He debuted with the son of the empire and appeared in the show “Office Reality”. They built their reputation through guerrilla performances and online content, then appeared in the documentary show “Interstellar Empire”, and then produced their own documentary “Imperial Children Returns”, demonstrating their training. In the end, the team changed their name to ZE:A, but still retained their nickname “Son of the Empire”. In 2010, they released their first album “Nativity”, which received widespread attention.

Later, he created “Leap for Detonation” and began touring Asia, performing in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and other places, and quickly went to Japan, releasing the single “ZE:A!” to announce his debut.
Rise to fame
ZE: A cooperated with Sankei Sports in 2011, and the group appeared in the cooperative movie “RONIN POP”. Then they produced their first full album-“Lovability”-which included the title single “Here I Am”. They were promoting the album, but it was suddenly cut due to a song that was deemed unsuitable for minors.
Then they released another album “Exciting!” A few months later, which led to their first top spot on the Hanteo real-time album sales charts. They also continued to cater to their Japanese fan base and released the Japanese version of “All Day Long”.
The band took a break for a while, and many of its members were working on solo projects at about the same time, while Guangxi made his first appearance on TV alone. Their comeback was delayed due to injuries, but in 2012, they released their second full album “Spectacular”.

Later, he starred in “We Are Married” and partnered with Sunhwa of the girl group SECRET. In 2013, the group produced a mini album “Illusion” and held the first solo concert in China.
Interruption and personal work
In 2014, ZE:A produced their second EP “First Homme”, marking their return. A team with nine muses was also created, named Nasty Nasty, although Kwanghee was not involved in the project.
In 2015, members of ZE:A joined the army, which resulted in sporadic releases. Their first album “Continue” was released, and Guangxi became an actor in one of Korea’s most successful variety shows-“Infinite Challenge”, which was broadcast on MBC. In 2017, rumors of the disbandment of ZE:A began to circulate, but were soon shot down by the band members.
However, the members confirmed that they were taking a break and each member was focusing on their personal work.
Guangxi focuses on his TV projects, including “Infinite Challenge”. He also joined Bonboo Entertainment to help manage his other projects outside of ZE:A. In 2017, he announced that he would enlist in the military. In service for more than a year, he was discharged from hospital in December 2018. After returning to China, he quickly returned to the television and showbiz circles.
personal life
Guangxi is single and there is no report about his romantic career.
He prefers to keep the media away from it-Korean artists are usually known for keeping this aspect of their lives secret because they worry about their public image and strict management practices. After wearing 252 layers of T-shirts at the Environment Day event in Seoul, he maintained the Guinness World Record for wearing the most T-shirts. After he returned from the army, people worried that he had lost a lot of weight. He confirmed that he had become overly concerned about his own body in the army due to the lack of a plan to pay attention to their bodies. As a result, he lost too much weight because he was also on a diet.
