Choi Jong Hoon (Korean: 최종훈; hanja: 崔鐘訓) [tɕʰwe dʑoŋhuːn]; Japanese: チェ•ジョンフン; born March 7, 1990) is a South Korean guitarist, musician and actor. He is the leader of the South Korean rock band F.T. Island, where he serves as the lead guitarist, keyboardist, lyricist and composer.
Jong Hoon was born in Seoul, South Korea on March 7, 1990, according to the solar calendar, and February 6 according to the lunar calendar. He attended the Shindongshin Middle Information Industry High School. During his high school years, he was accepted into the FNC Music talent agency, which later formed the band F.T. Island with Jong Hoon as its leader and guitarist.
Since March 2, 2009, Jong Hoon has been attending the University of Suwon in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. He is majoring in digital music alongside former band member Oh Won Bin.
In January 2009, members Choi Jong Hoon, Choi Minhwan, and Lee Jaejin were put into the sub group "A3". This group debuted at the 2009 New Year concert "My First Dream" held at the JCB Hall in Tokyo, Japan on January 2, 2009. Jong Hoon performed as the guitarist and a sub-vocalist. The group's name was "A3" due to each of the three members having type A blood. This group was formed to help take up some singing time during their concerts, so that lead singer, Lee Hong-gi, would not overstrain his voice.
