THIS Member of TEMPEST Earns Massive Praise Following Debut
One of the reasons TEMPEST's debut was so highly anticipated is because of the line-up. Hyeongseop and Euiwoong competed on "Produce 101 Season 2," representing Yuehua Entertainment. After failing to debut in Wanna One, they debuted as the duo HyeongseopxEuiwoong.

However, the member who people anticipated the most was Hanbin. Hanbin previously competed in "Into the I-LAND." While he made the semi-final episode, he ultimately did not make the line-up for ENHYPEN. He remained with BELIFT Lab for nearly a year before leaving and signing with Yuehua Entertainment.
During his time on the show, Hanbin was loved for his dance skills and adorable energy. Still, many wondered if he was suitable to debut following news that he would join TEMPEST.
When the music video for "Bad News" dropped, Hanbin proved he was ready to debut! The idol appeared with many lines and shined in the music video. People claim that not only has his dancing skills improved, but his vocals have also greatly improved.
During his time in "Into the I-LAND," Hanbin was always known for his dancing. However, he is now skilled in both vocals and dance, proving his identity as an ace!
