Lee Hyung Geun, known professionally as Marco, is a South Korean singer, dancer, model, actor, and former member of HOT BLOOD YOUTH (열혈남아; shortened to H.B.Y) and UNB (유앤비). Before debuting, he was active as a model and always had the dream of becoming a comedian, but then decided to enter an acting academy.

He made his debut in August 2017 as H.B.Y's main rapper and dancer with their first mini-album, "Make It Ride". The group was managed by Opus Entertainment (오퍼스 엔터테인먼트; formerly known as Rainbow Entertainment) and was never able to establish itself in the industry. Their agency was too small to compete with the 4 major agencies in South Korea, so he asked for permission to audition in an upcoming survival show.

Later that year, he entered the singing competition "The Unit" and ended up in 5th place, earning a spot in the show's resulting project group. He re-debuted in April 2018 as UNB's lead rapper with their first mini-album, "Boyhood". The group's contract was planned for one year but they officially disbanded in January 2019 when the members' agencies could not reach an agreement to extend the contract's duration with PocketDol Studio (포켓돌스튜디오).

After one more mini-album with H.B.Y, the group also disbanded in March 2020.

In July 2021, he signed with Humap Contents and became an actor, debuting with a role in the drama "Replay: The Moment When It Starts Again". However, after one more acting credit, he has not appeared on TV anymore and is not represented by any agency.
