Choi Hyun Suk is a South Korean singer, dancer, and member of TREASURE (트레저). He dropped out of high school but later passed the High School Graduation Certification Examination.

He participated in the 2017 survival competition, "MIXNINE", and finished in 5th place. He earned a spot in the resulting project group, but unfortunately, the different agencies involved in the show could never reach an agreement, and the selected trainees were not able to debut.

There were rumors about a possible new group being planned by YG Entertainment (YG 엔터테인먼트), and the agency began scouting several candidates. However, instead of having them debut immediately, they created a new survival competition, "YG Treasure Box", in order to have them ready to debut. The original plan was to have a 13-member group (called TREASURE 13) but split up into two separate lineups, TREASURE and MAGNUM. He was ultimately chosen as part of the 7-member lineup TREASURE. But, in early 2019, Ha Yoon Bin decided to leave in order to pursue a career as a solo artist, so the plans changed and both lineups were merged into the final 12-member product, keeping the name TREASURE.

He made his debut in August 2020 as the group's original co-leader, main dancer, main rapper and vocalist with their first single album, "The First Step: Chapter One". The album reached the #1 spot on the Circle Album Chart (formerly known as Gaon Album Chart), and was certified platinum by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA), becoming their first-ever certification. They were labeled as the "fastest-growing K-pop act in the world" by X (formerly Twitter), and they were the only South Korean male group to be included in the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40 (Rising Star) ranking (that also included girl groups AESPA and STAYC).

He decided to step down as the group's leader in December 2024.
