Jung Chan-woo (Korean: 정찬우; born January 26, 1998), better known as Chanwoo, is a South Korean singer and actor. He is known as a member of South Korean boy group iKON, signed under YG Entertainment.
In 2006, Chanwoo appeared in the music video for TVXQ's "Balloons", playing a younger Max Changmin.
In 2008, he appeared in the movie Lost and Found (달콤한 거짓말) and subsequently in a number of drama series, beginning with The Great King Sejong. He is known for playing a younger Lee Minho in the series Boys Over Flowers and The Heirs.
In late 2014, it was announced that the YG Entertainment trainees that had previously competed as "Team B" in the reality survival programme WIN: Who Is Next would be participating in a subsequent survival programme, Mix & Match, for the chance to become part of a new group. The first episode of Mix & Match premiered on September 11. While trainees B.I, Bobby, and Jinhwan were confirmed for the seven-member lineup, the remaining three members of Team B competed with three new trainees, including Chanwoo, for the four remaining places. Chanwoo was officially confirmed as a member of iKON on November 5, 2014, and the group made their debut on September 15, 2015.
