Jo Min Gyu, known professionally as Hwi, is a South Korean singer, dancer, and member of NEWKIDD (뉴키드). He graduated from Hanlim Arts High School.

He joined J-Flo Entertainment (제이플로 엔터테인먼트) in July 2018 when two new members (including him) were added to the agency's project group that had already released a single in November 2017. The new lineup was renamed NEWKIDD02 (뉴키드02) and released the pre-debut single album "Boy Boy Boy". After the full group's debut, they were re-classified as a sub-unit, keeping their original name.

Finally, J-Flo added yet another member, and he officially made his debut in April 2019 as NEWKIDD's main vocalist with their first single album, also titled "NewKidd".

The group has not had many activities since 2019, only releasing a single in 2022 (he was not involved) as the members focus on their individual activities.

He enlisted for his mandatory military service on November 8, 2022, and was discharged on May 7, 2024.
