Woo Ji-seok (Korean: 우지석; born May 11, 1990), commonly known as Taewoon or ₩uNo is a South Korean singer, rapper, songwriter, and record producer. He is a former member of the South Korean boy band Speed and former member of the South Korean Coed group Coed School.
Taewoon was born Woo Jiseok on May 11, 1990 in Mapo, Seoul, South Korea. Taewoon lived in Japan for 3 years and studied at the Tokyo Polytechnic University. He and his younger brother Zico were both trainees for Block B, but left before debuting and later joined Core Contents Media.
On September 30, 2010, Taewoon made his debut as a member of Coed School with the release of their digital single "Too Late", followed by their second digital single "Bbiribbom Bberibbom" three weeks later. The group then released their mini-album "Something That Is Cheerful And Fresh" a month after their official debut. Due to various scandals with some of the male members in late 2010,MBK Entertainment decided to debut a female sub-unit F-ve Dolls in February 2011, consisting of the group female members, and a new member Eunkyo. A year after, in February 2012, the male members debuted in the male sub-unit Speed. A representative of MBK Entertainment revealed in the middle of 2013 that they had no plans for Coed School to reform again, as both of its sub-units had grown and changed their line-ups to become independent groups.
Speed first released their male cover of T-ara's single "Lovey Dovey", which they titled "Lovey Dovey Plus". Taewoon then became the leader of Coed School's subgroup Speed.
