Nam Do Hyon is a South Korean singer, dancer and former member of X1 (엑스원) and BAE173 (비에이이173). He graduated from Hanlim Arts High School and is enrolled in the Practical Music program at Dong-Ah Broadcasting Arts University.

He appeared in the survival show "Produce X 101" where he finished in 8h place and secured a spot in the show's project group.

He made his debut in August 2019 as X1's main rapper and maknae with their first mini-album, "Emergency: Quantum Leap" under Swing Entertainment (스윙 엔터테인먼트). Initially, the group had a 5-year contract. However, the vote manipulation scandal at MNet led to an investigation. They were forced to halt their activities and, after an unsuccessful negotiation about their future with Swing Entertainment and the members' individual agencies, they disbanded in January 2020.

He then joined groupmate Lee Han Gyul and debuted as duo H&D with the release of their mini-album, "Soulmate", in April 2020.

In November 2020, PocketDol Studio (포켓돌스튜디오) decided to launch another group and he became BAE173's main rapper and maknae. The group debuted with their mini-album, "Intersection: Spark".

In October 2022, the agency announced he will go on an indefinite hiatus after suffering long-term effects of COVID-19.

However, in April 2023, he filed a lawsuit against PocketDol Studio due to differing views with the agency regarding how they fulfilled their obligations of the contract. By June, he announced on his IG that he had won the lawsuit and he decided to leave the group and the agency. But, the agency filed an appeal claiming he had left the group (to go on hiatus) without permission, so the original lawsuit against PocketDol should be invalid. The case remains pending.

He re-debuted as a soloist in September 2024 with the digital single "19", now using the stage name toni rei.
