Henry Lau (traditional Chinese: 劉憲華; simplified Chinese: 刘宪华; Korean: 헨리; born October 11, 1989),[1] known mononymously as Henry, is a Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer based in South Korea and China.[2] He debuted in 2008 as a member of Super Junior-M and launched his solo career in 2013 with Trap. His song "It's You", released in 2017, became the most streamed Korean original soundtrack song on Spotify for two consecutive years in 2018 and 2019.[3] In 2018, Henry left SM Entertainment following the expiration of his contract, and subsequently joined Monster Entertainment Group.[4][5]

Henry made his Hollywood debut in 2019 with the film A Dog's Journey produced by Amblin Entertainment.[6] In 2020, he starred in the action-fantasy movie Double World.[7] The film was released on Netflix and the Chinese streaming service iQIYI,[8] becoming the first movie produced in Mainland China to have a simultaneous global release.[9]

Henry is also known for his television work in the programs Real Man and I Live Alone, for which he received the Best Newcomer Award (2014) and Excellence Male Award (2017) respectively at the MBC Entertainment Awards.
