Stage Name: Han

English Name: Peter Han

Date of Birth: September 14, 2000

Nationality: South Korean

Because of his mastery in rapping, singing, and producing, Han is sometimes referred to in the K-pop scene as a "all-rounder." While his lyrics represents a highly personal and introspective manner, typically addressing issues of identity, suffering, and resiliency, his snappy, high-energy rap delivery contrasts wonderfully with his expressive vocal performances.

Early Life and Education:

Born in Incheon, South Korea, Han Jisung grew up there first. His family moved to Malaysia at nine years old, where he was homeschooled. His overseas experience expanded his viewpoint and improved his English language, which would later help him to interact with STAY, the worldwide following of Stray Kids. Inspired by hip-hop singers like Epik High, Zico, and Zion.T, Han acquired a passion for music during his stay overseas, particularly after hearing Zion.T's "Two Melodies, which sparked his interest in singing and songwriting."
Han came back to South Korea at sixteen, driven clearly toward a profession in music. He negotiated an arrangement with his parents whereby he would return to Malaysia to concentrate on studies should he not find a position at an entertainment agency within a year. Driven to follow his ambition, Han registered in D.E.F. Academy in Seoul to develop his vocals, dance, and rap techniques. At the same time, he sought his Korean GED (General Educational Development), evidence of his dedication to juggling goals with schooling. Although particular information on his formal education beyond this point is rare, Han's early training and self-discipline set the stage for his ultimate accomplishment.

Career:

Late 2016 saw Han start his career in the music business when he teamed up with other trainees Bang Chan (CB97) and Changbin (SPEARB) to create the hip-hop duo 3RACHA. Under the alias J.ONE, Han started showing his raw skills as a rapper and lyricist by uploading self-produced tracks on SoundCloud in 2017. Early mixtapes by the trio, such "J:/2017/mixtape," attracted interest in the underground music community and prepared them for their next projects.
JYP Entertainment publicly presented Han as a contestant in the reality program Stray Kids, a survival show meant to shape the next boy group for the agency, in October 2017 Han immediately made a name for himself playing producer, vocalist, and rapper. The last episode of the show confirmed his debut as part of Stray Kids among eight other members (later cut to eight after Woojin's resignation in 2019). Officially starting on March 25, 2018, the group debuted with the EP I Am Not and its lead track "District 9," hence launching Han's climb in the K-pop scene.
Han co-written and co-produced many singles as a member of Stray Kids and 3RACHA, including "God's Menu, "Back Door, "Maniac," and "Thunderous." In songs like "Hellevator," where he manages high notes, and in his solo works under the SKZ-RECORD series, including "Close" and "Alien, which expose a more contemplative side, his flexibility comes through. Having made significant contributions to more than 100 registered songs by 2025, Han was elevated to a regular member of the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) in February 2023. His increasing influence as an artist was underlined in April 2024 by his working with N MIXX's Bae on "1, 2, 3, 4, 5".
Often praised for his enthusiasm and emotive performance, Han's theatrical presence is explosive. Beyond Stray Kids, his solo efforts and lyrical depth, often referred to by fans as the "HAN genre," or "HANpop," mix rock, R&B, and emo hip-hop, so strengthening his image as a creative force.

Net Worth 2025:

To forecast Han's net worth in 2025, one must take into account his income from combined Stray Kids success, individual initiatives, and sponsorships. Based on past studies in 2022, Han's net worth was estmated to fall between $6 million and $8 million. Given Stray Kids' ongoing global supremacy, topping the Billboard 200 with albums like SKZhop Hiptape in 2024 and gaining high-profile brand deals, his wealth has most certainly expanded dramatically.

Key revenue streams include:
With Han earning credits as a producer and songwriter, Stray Kids' albums NOEASY (their first million-seller) and Ate (the tenth best-selling album of 2024 per IFPI) generate significant royalties.
Concerts and Tours: His income is greatly supplemented by the group's sold-out world tours, which include their fifth fan conference SKZ 5'Clock in February 2025.
Endorsements: Stray Kids's relationships with Tommy Hilfiger, SLBS, and Ultra Milk help to increase personal income.
Solo Projects: Han's SKZ-RECORD releases and KOMCA royalties complete his financial portfolio.

Health:

Though he has been candid about mental health issues—a topic that many fans may relate to—Han Jisung has generally had decent physical health over his career. Anxiety, a disorder he subsequently addressed in his music, caused him to briefly stop from Stray Kids' activities early in 2019. This was especially true on introspective tunes like "Alien." His openness regarding mental health has won him favor from STAY and strengthened his bond with the fans.

Physically, Han has experienced modest difficulties common of a hard K-pop schedule, including weariness from intense rehearsals and tours. As of March 2025, no noteworthy health problems have been documented, though. Usually joking about his passion of sleeping in the dorms, he keeps his energy with a balanced diet and slumber. Han's concentration on self-care and resilience help him to keep performing at his best.
