Lee Seung Hyun, known professionally as Lumin, is a South Korean singer-songwriter and former member of M.PIRE (엠파이어) and current member of F.CUZ (포커즈; pronounced as FOCUS). He graduated from Anyang Foreign Language High School and then attended Dongseoul University but is on a leave of absence from the Applied Music program. He is the eldest son of trot legend Sul Woon Do and made numerous TV appearances alongside his father when he was a child. He was also a famous ulzzang later on.

He made his debut as a solo artist in early 2008 (under the stage name U), but it was very short-lived. He sang "Listen To You", an OST for the SBS drama "Gourmet", and later was featured in Taru's single "Oh! Again". After that, he tried to become an idol.

He made his debut as an idol in January 2010 (under the stage name LeeU) as F.CUZ's main vocalist with their first digital single, "Jiggy". However, in May 2011, CAN&J Entertainment (캔 엔터테인먼트) announced that he was leaving the group as he wanted a solo career and did not agree with their music concept.

He had a minor role in the musical "Elisabeth", and in October 2013, he joined M.PIRE as their new lead vocalist. The group had debuted 2 months earlier, but he was added by the agency CMG Stars (CMG초록별) for the digital single "On My Mind". Unfortunately, the group disbanded in 2016 due to a lack of promotional activities.

He kept trying to promote as a solo artist afterwards, but without much success, so he enlisted to fulfill his mandatory military service on November 14, 2016, and was discharged on August 13, 2018.

He owns a café in Hannam called "Amante" and has tried to re-enter the industry by singing trot music like his father.

F.CUZ has not disbanded but only remains active in Japan. In July 2023, they re-recorded their single "Summer Days" to include the members who left the group or were on hiatus when the original song was recorded in 2020. Then, in March 2024, he reunited with the group for several concerts in Japan.
