There are many siblings in the K-Pop industry, such as TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s Huening Kai and Kep1er’s Huening Bahiyyih as well as ITZY’s ChaeRyeong and former IZ*ONE’s member Lee ChaeYeon. Many K-Pop fans love to make compilation videos showing the lovely interactions between them, and some of them even appear on variety shows and perform together on stage. For example, BIBI and tripleS’ NaKyong showed their funny interactions and performed Block B’s ‘NILLILI MAMBO’ on “Knowing Bros’.
Among all the K-Pop siblings, P1Harmony’s KeeHo and 82MAJOR’s Yoon YeChan have been receiving lots of attention among K-Pop fans globally not only because of their physical appearance and personality resemblance, but also with their impressive talents and sense of humor. Read on to get to know more about the ‘Yoon Brothers’ who came all the way from Canada to make waves in the K-Pop industry!
Basic Information About The ‘Yoon Brothers’
KeeHo and YeChan are both Korean-Canadian born and raised in Toronto, Canada. YeChan followed KeeHo to Korea for audition in around 2017 and both of them got selected to become a K-Pop idol trainee. KeeHo trained for 2 years and 9 months and debuted as the leader and vocalist of P1Harmony, a sextet boy group under FNC Entertainment in October 2020, while YeChan got into SM Entertainment and trained for 6-7 years, and finally joined Great M Entertainment’s 82MAJOR (which is also a six-member hip-hop concept boy group coincidentally) as the main dancer in October 2023.
An interesting fact about the ‘Yoon Brothers’ is that they are the only Korean-Canadian K-Pop idols who use their Korean names as stage names (KeeHo and YeChan’s English names are Stephan and Timothy respectively)!
Talented Performers
The ‘Yoon Brothers’ are both talented K-Pop idols with amazing performance skills. KeeHo has a unique soulful vocal tone that gives out R&B vibes. KeeHo sometimes uploads his singing covers on P1Harmony’s YouTube channel, and his recent cover of Jorja Smith‘s ‘Teenage Fantasy’ showcases KeeHo’s charismatic mid-low vocal tone. His voice really suits English songs a lot!
Apart from singing, KeeHo can also rap. KeeHo took up part of the rap lines in the chorus in ‘DUH!’, and his clear diction and addictive vocal tone add more diverse texture and brings out the playful attitude of the song.
On the other hand, as the main dancer of 82MAJOR, YeChan has a groovy dance style that suits hip-hop dance. In this live performance of ‘Stuck’, YeChan demonstrated his excellent body control by dancing to the intense choreography with sharp and powerful dance moves despite wearing bulky tracksuits. YeChan even took over the center position of the dance break towards the end of the song, and his confident facial expression accentuates the bold attitude of the song.
Same as his elder brother, YeChan is also an incredible rapper. YeChan shows his rhythmic rap in this live stage of ‘TAKEOVER’, where he brought out the playful vibe. Not to mention that YeChan sounds extra cool rapping in English!
Funny Comedians
The ‘Yoon Brothers’ always show their hilarious and sassy personality that makes fans laugh to tears. KeeHo once played with a baby (Damien) and unicorn (Chester) figures on a live stream, where a fan told him that the baby is naked. KeeHo then responded “He’s a baby. Him being naked should not bother you.” He later on even threw the figures away while shouting “Fly Damien~Fly Chester~” KeeHo is just being so chaotic and random.
YeChan also got the same sassiness as KeeHo, that in “GUESS THE LANGUAGE: WORLD EDITION”, when YeChan was trying to confirm that the Portuguese speaker is from Brazil while the other members were still guessing, he suddenly asked “Y’all got Jesus?” (He was referring to Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro), and everyone bursted into laughter. A fan commented that this line is going down in the history of K-Pop iconic lines.
Unwavering Brotherhood
Despite being in different teams, the ‘Yoon Brothers’ have maintained a close relationship, that they always support each other. When YeChan first debuted, KeeHo mentioned YeChan on a radio show and sent a support message to him. KeeHo later also watched ‘Stuck’’s music video with his teammate JiUng when it was released. YeChan also revealed on “GET REAL” that he has a close relationship with KeeHo.
The ‘Yoon Brothers’ even did dance challenges together last year, where they covered each other’s songs (P1Harmony’s ‘SAD SONG’ and 82MAJOR’s ‘Stuck’). Many fans were so thrilled to see the two of them dancing together, saying that their collaboration is iconic, and that they do not need DNA tests to prove that they are siblings.
