MLD Entertainment
After an arduous journey on idol trainee survival program, “Dream Maker“, seven rising stars were gathered together and HORI7ON was finally formed. Since then, they’ve broken numerous records and stood on various stages, becoming a shining light for ANCHOR worldwide. There’s no doubt that HORI7ON are a group with never-ending promise, ready to take over the world.
Coming from MLD Entertainment, they have all the qualities of a typical K-Pop group, however, they’ve constantly shown the potential to be so much more. Their teamwork to reach this end is outstanding, an inspiration to their fanbase who holds them in such high regard. But the one leading their charge into the foray of K-Pop, as well as the international music scene is none other than HORI7ON’s Vinci.
Appointed as the leader of the budding boy group, Vinci is a solid pillar that both his groupmates and ANCHOR can comfortably lean on. While he might carry a relaxed and laid back aura, he’s just as hardworking and passionate in his musical pursuits.
Seeing this, and more, here’s a few reasons why he’s such a standout.
1. Setting The Bar High Early On
During his storied run on “Dream Maker”, Vinci started things off strong. For the Mentor’s Evaluation, he set the bar extremely high, showcasing such mind-blowing talent that’s deserving of the title “all-rounder”. He possessed spectacularly stable live vocals, charismatic rap skills, and rhythmic dancing that left both mentors and his fellow contestants speechless.
From being chosen as the center for the signal song to finally making it to the final debut lineup, Vinci never stopped pressing his foot on the gas pedal. He portrayed admirable leadership skills that he surely carried over once he became a member of HORI7ON. Even when his name was called at the end, he remained calm and collected, firmly cementing the idea that he’ll become the unmovable rock of the group that his members can confidently rely on.
2. Well-Spoken And Articulate Individual
There are many responsibilities that come with being the leader. Sometimes this includes acting as the group’s spokesperson. Vinci is but one of the group members who fills this role. When it comes to answering questions or talking about dreams and aspirations, Vinci shares his thoughts in such elegant nuance that fans cannot help but feel a surge of pride.

With his ability to articulate his thoughts and lead a conversation, he’s become a constant presence on Arirang Radio’s “Radio’n US“. Alongside DJ Samuel Seo and soloist AleXa, Vinci is able to keep up with the two and showcase his natural hosting skills. Once he improves his Korean even further, we can only imagine the love calls from top variety talk shows looking to cast the well-spoken idol.
3. Undeniable Stage Presence

It’s no secret to ANCHOR just how great their relentless leader is. One of his many qualities that make fans fall more in love with him by the day are his honey-like vocals. Akin to a heavenly symphony, he’s able to hit a flurry of notes that leaves audiences breathless.
And Vinci is certainly not limited to the original songs by his group. Even when singing covers, he brings justice to every song while also presenting it in his own style. We can only imagine that one day, Vinci will be heard across K-Drama OSTs and international soundtracks.
Is Vinci your HORI7ON bias? What do you like about the leader?
