BIOGRAPHY
Choi Seung-cheol joined Pledis Entertainment as a teenager and became the leader of a group still being assembled around him. Leading thirteen people with vastly different cultural backgrounds, ages, and training levels is a management task as much as a performance one — he has spoken candidly about the toll it has taken and the growth it has required. He is the hip-hop unit's primary anchor and a consistent live performer.
Fitness and strength training, gaming across multiple genres, and spending time with his dog, who appears frequently in his personal social media.
