Jang Woo Young

  • Name: Jang Woo Young
  • Native name: 장우영
  • Also Known as: Jang U Yeong
  • Nationality: South Korean
  • Gender: Male
  • Born: April 30, 1989
  • Age: 35
Jang Woo Young is a South Korean singer, dancer, actor and member of 2PM (투피엠). He graduated from Geumseong High School and later obtained an associate's degree in Dance from Seoul Arts College, a bachelor's degree in Acting from Howon University and a master's degree in Film Arts from Sejong University. Before debuting, he won first place in an audition against 5,000 other candidates and was chosen to join JYP as a trainee.

In early 2008, JYP Entertainment (JYP엔터테인먼트) launched a reality/documentary show called "Hot Blood Men" capturing the training program of 14 trainees. After 3 were eliminated, the remaining 11 trainees joined to create ONE DAY (원데이), and almost immediately, they were split into two separate groups, ballad-oriented 2AM (4 trainees) and hip-hop/R&B-oriented 2PM (7 trainees).

He made his debut in September 2008 as 2PM's main dancer and lead vocalist with their first single album, "Hottest Time of Day". The following year, they began achieving commercial success when the single "Again & Again" reached #1 in the South Korean charts.

He made his debut as a solo artist in July 2012 with the single album, "23, Male, Single". He has been active as an actor and MC/host and has participated in many variety shows.

He enlisted for his mandatory military service on July 9, 2018, and was discharged on February 28. 2020.

He was a co-host of the variety show "HK Coin", and during the show, he debuted as part of the project group UNBALANCE (언밸런스) alongside the other hosts. They released the single "Never" in October 2023, months before the show ended.
