Ren Meguro (目黒蓮, Meguro Ren, born February 16, 1997, in Tokyo) is a Japanese singer and actor who is a member of the idol group Snow Man under Smile Up (Starto), formerly known as Johnny & Associates.

Career[edit]

Ren Meguro joined Starto in October 2010. In November 2016, he was chosen to be a member of Uchuu Six, a newly formed pre-debut unit under Junior, a branch of Starto that manages trainees and their activities.[5]

On January 17, 2019, Meguro was added as a new member to Snow Man, an existing Junior unit, in addition to Koji Mukai and Raul.[6] Snow Man made their official debut on January 22, 2020. Subsequently, corresponding to his debut in Snow Man, Meguro withdrew from Uchuu Six.

On Aug 11, 2021, Meguro co-starred with labelmate Shunsuke Michieda in the television live action adaptation of "My Love Mix-Up!" in his first leading role outside of Snow Man related projects.

On February 21, 2022, Meguro was announced to star as one of the four lead roles in Phases of the Moon, the film adaptation of the 157th Naoki Prize winning novel, "Tsuki no Michikake" (月の満ち欠け) by Shogo Sato, on the film's official Twitter.[7] In April of the same year, he was announced to co-star in the live action film adaptation of As Long as We Both Shall Live with Mio Imada to be released the following year.[8] On July 14, 2023, he played his first lead role in a TV drama in Trillion Game.

On October 23, 2023, Meguro opened instagram "sn_meguro.ren_official" right after Trillion Game promoted worldwide on Netflix.

On November 25, 2023, Meguro won the Best Emerging Actor Award at the prestigious 15th TAMA Film Awards Ceremony,[9] recognizing his work in My Happy Marriage (2023) and Phases of the Moon (2022). This accomplishment not only signifies a personal triumph for Meguro but also stands as a historic win for Starto (formerly Johnny & Associates) talents, marking the first time one of their artists has secured this coveted accolade.[promotion?]

Modelling[edit]

Taking advantage of his height and modeling talent, Ren Meguro also works as a model.[10] He has been a regular model for 'FINEBOYS' Magazine since November 2018 until now.[11][promotion?]

On May 7, 2020, it was announced that he would appear for 'FINEBOYS' June issue for first time as solo cover. When the magazine was released May 29, 2020, web server crashed for 10 seconds because access activity was too high.[12][13][promotion?]

In addition, it was determined that the FINEBOYS's 2020 June and July issue which Ren Meguro appeared on the cover would be republished,[14] server web once again crashed for 5 seconds after it was announced.[15] There are rumors that he is an idol who will make magazines vanishes (in the market) when he appears on the cover.[16][promotion?]
