Samuel Arredondo Kim (born January 17, 2002; formerly known as Punch), referred to monomously as Samuel, is an American singer based in South Korea.[1] He is best known for competing in the second season of the reality show Produce 101.[2] He was a member of the hip-hop duo 1PUNCH.[3]

Career

2012–2013: Pre-debut

Samuel made his first appearances to the public aged eleven, when he appeared in the live broadcast series Seventeen TV as a trainee under Pledis Entertainment.[4][5] In 2013, he left the agency.[6]

2015–2016: 1PUNCH and collaboration with Silentó

In 2015, Samuel debuted as a part of hip-hop duo named 1PUNCH (with rapper One) under a collaboration between Brave Entertainment and D-Business Entertainment, taking 'PUNCH' as his stage name. They debuted on January 23 with the release of "Turn Me Back", which is the title track of their album The Anthem.[7] Eight months later, One was scouted by YG Entertainment, leading to the disbandment of the duo. Under the name PUNCH, Samuel collaborated with Silentó to release the single "Spotlight" in 2016,[8] for which they won the 26th Seoul Music Award for Global Collaboration.[9] He later joined Silentó on tour in the US.[10]
