Kim Yong-hwan (; born July 12, 1988), known professionally by his stage name Eden (; 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.
His stage name references the Biblical garden because he has always wanted to make music in the most natural and basic way.
Career 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.
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.
He joined the military and completed his service in 2013, and then left Source Music.
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.
He made his own solo debut at the age of 29 with the single album Urban Hymns on February 17, 2017.
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.
