BTOB's Lee Minhyuk Brings 'Unfinished Summer' to Kaohsiung Waterbomb After Europe Tour
BTOB's Lee Minhyuk played Kaohsiung Waterbomb on Sept. 16, fresh off a five-city European solo tour that wrapped in London weeks earlier.
From London to Kaohsiung in one summer
BTOB main rapper Lee Minhyuk took the stage at Kaohsiung Waterbomb festival and posted a photo on the 16th. His caption read "끝나지 않은 여름 in Kaohsiung" — "Unfinished summer in Kaohsiung." The shot showed him in front of the festival stage, one hand sweeping his hair back as he looked to the side.
The Taiwan stop landed just weeks after his first-ever solo European tour, 2026 LEE MINHYUK(HUTA) EUROPE TOUR 'HOOK - WHO : KING', closed with a London date on August 28 (local time). Five cities across the continent. London, UK. Paris, France. Berlin, Germany. Warsaw, Poland. Madrid, Spain.
That tour grew out of a solo concert series he started in Seoul in September last year.
TEMPERATURE and what came before it
On July 15, Lee Minhyuk released the single album TEMPERATURE. An energetic, high-velocity concept wrapped around a title track. It's the latest in a solo run that began with his 2019 debut full-length HUTAZONE, released under his indie hip-hop alias HUTA — the same name on the European tour bill.
Outside BTOB, his work spans wide ground. Composer credits on multiple tracks from BTOB's third regular album Be Together. Host of the music program THE SHOW. DJ stints on Kiss the Radio. Mentor to junior artists as a master on the Planet Series. He also served as a mandatory police officer from 2019 to 2020.
Lee Minhyuk, now 35, debuted with BTOB on the 2012 single Insane (비밀) and has been the group's main rapper since. He's also participated in sub-units BTOB 4U and Cube Entertainment's unit 구공탄. The summer clearly isn't done with him yet.
