Yan An is a Chinese singer, dancer and member of PENTAGON (펜타곤). He graduated from Shanghai Drama Academy. He plays the piano professionally. He participated in Mnet's survival show "Pentagon Maker" but was not chosen as one of the original 7 members of the new boy group to be managed by CUBE Entertainment (큐브엔터테인먼트). However, weeks before debuting, the company decided to add the 3 eliminated members to the lineup. He made his debut in October 2016 as PENTAGON's vocalist and visual with their self-titled debut EP. In August 2018, he went on hiatus due to health issues and returned in September 2020. However, in February 2022, he once again went on hiatus, this time due to undisclosed family matters. He didn't return to the lineup since then, but fans began to question CUBE about the way the agency handled the situation. In October 2023, the agency announced his contract had ended and was not renewed. He left CUBE but remains part of PENTAGON. His debut in acting was in a small guest role in 2021 in South Korea. That same year he debuted in China in a supporting role. In January 2025, he signed with ZUI Agency.
