Jung Chan Woo has officially become the youngest member of iKON. The newcomer who started his career in the entertainment industry as a child actor, is ready to start his singing career with YG Entertainment.

The January 26, 1998 born idol started acting in 2008 when he was still in the second grade. His first drama was KBS’s “The Great King Sejong”, where he acted as young Prince Yang Nyung.

A year after that, the blood type A boy consecutively starred in four dramas, SBS’s “Cain And Abel”, KBS’s “Boys Over Flowers”, KBS’s “The Slingshot”, and MBC’s “No Limit”.

In “Cain and Abel” he acted as young Seon Woo whose adult version was portrayed by Shin Hyun Joon. He then acted as young rich Goo Jun Pyo, who was later acted by Lee Minho.

He then became young Do Jae Myung in drama “The Slingshot”, then the character’s adult version was played by Phillip Lee. He also became TVXQ’s young Yunho in a drama that is about soccer, “No Limit”.

After a long hiatus, he returned to acting in 2013 on SBS’s drama “The Heirs”, where he once again acted as young Lee Minho who acted as Kim Tan.

“I’ve acted as young Lee Minho in drama ‘Boys Over Flowers’. Young Shin Hyunjoon in “Cain & Abel”. And as a young high school student for Lee Minho’s character in ‘The heirs’,” he said on program “Mix & Match”.

Not just in dramas, he also acted in movies “Lost And Found” in 2008 and “Gabi” in 2012. Besides acting, the idol who was born and grew up in Seoul, also has other hidden dream. It appears that he likes to dance and sing.

“The first concert that I watched was Bigbang’s. And I always thought what it would feel like to dance and sing like on that stage. I had always dreamed of becoming a singer,” he revealed.

He had the chance to achieve his dream by participating in survival show “Mix & Match” that was produced by YG Entertainment. The idol along with Team B’s members Goo Jun Hoe, Kim Dong Hyuk, Song Yun Hyeong, and two other new trainees Jung Jin Hyung and Yang Hong Seok competed to gain a position in boy group iKON. The band consists of seven members, with three positions had been confirmed to B.I, Kim Jin Hwan, and Bobby.

“I know, I have many shortcomings in various aspects, but I hope to grow and work hard to win on this show,” he said determinedly.

During the show, Chan Woo had to carry out missions with monthly evaluations. He often received compliments from YG staff and Yang Hyun Suk because he could adapt well, his ability to develop rapidly, and he was not nervous when performing.

iKON’s other four members were selected through voting by fans in China, Japan, and South Korea. The four selected members are Goo Jun Hoe, Song Yun Hyeong, Kim Dong Hyuk, and Jung Chan Woo.

Chan Woo’s dream to become singer was finally realized. He is now part of iKON that are scheduled to debut next year and promote in South Korea, Japan and China.
