Kim Yong-hwan (Korean: 김용환; born July 12, 1988), known professionally by his stage name Eden (Korean: 이든; stylized in all caps), is a South Korean singer-songwriter and record producer. Under KQ Entertainment, he made his solo debut in 2017. He is most well known as the leader of Eden-ary, the production team for Ateez and Xikers.[6]

His stage name references the Biblical garden because he has always wanted to make music in the most natural and basic way.[4]

## Career[edit]

Eden played the piano from a young age, being inspired by musicians such as Frédéric Chopin and Sergei Rachmaninoff to pursue a career in music. He'd already mastered composing Classical music. He decided to become a singer and composer, and he moved to Seoul from his hometown Yeonsu for learning Popular music. He taught himself how to compose and produce it.[2]

In 2010, a file of his music that he'd sent to his friend ended up in the hands of Source Music. He started as a composer in 2010, participating in SS501's Kim Hyung-jun' album My Girl. He joined a production team Eden Beatz with musician J.Rise, and released their album in 2012.[4]

He joined the military and completed his service in 2013, and then left Source Music.[2]

KQ Entertainment happened to reach out to him, and began to work with him. He lived in a studio at the company for the next two years and went on to be co-producers with Hyun-sik of BtoB and Woodz.[4]

He made his own solo debut at the age of 29 with the single album Urban Hymns on February 17, 2017.[2]

He is currently the primary producer for boy bands in his label, including Ateez, who made their debut on October 24, 2018, and Xikers, who made their debut on March 30, 2023.[7][8]
