Biography
Oh Se-hun, known universally as Sehun, was scouted by SM Entertainment at age 12, setting him on a path to become one of K-pop's most recognizable faces. Debuting in 2012 as the youngest member of EXO, he initially stood out for his striking visuals and position as a lead dancer, bringing a powerful, precise physicality to the group's intricate choreography. Over time, his role expanded within sub-unit EXo-SC, where he developed his rap delivery and co-writing credits, showcasing a growth beyond his initial idol persona. His quiet, sometimes stoic stage presence contrasts with a reportedly playful off-stage personality, endearing him to fans. While EXO's music dominated charts, Sehun's individual influence solidified as a fashion muse and trendsetter, with his every style choice dissected and emulated, cementing his status as a key pillar of one of South Korea's biggest musical exports.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Sehun was born in 1994, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
