  • Name: Moon Jun Young

Moon Jun Young is a South Korean singer, dancer, DJ and member of ZE:A (제국의 아이들). He graduated from Boin High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Applied Music from Digital Seoul Culture and Arts University.

He made his debut in January 2010 as the group's leader and main vocalist with their first single album, "Nativity". Originally named Child of Empire, Star Empire Entertainment (스타제국) decided to officially establish it as ZE:A. However, they faced immediate controversy as it was very similar to Brown Eyed Girls member JeA. Both agencies began negotiations and agreed that ZE:A's pronunciation will be changed to avoid any confusion.
Afterwards, they enjoyed a lot of success and signed with Sony Music for promotional activities in 9 countries, mainly in Southeast Asia, where the group became incredibly popular in a short time.

His contract with Star Empire expired in January 2017 and rumors began circulating about a possible disbandment. However, the agency and the members released separate statements indicating that the group was now officially on an indefinite hiatus but was not disbanding.

He enlisted for his mandatory military service on July 27, 2020 and was discharged on January 26, 2022.

After his release, he setup a new company called LAKE Entertainment (레이크엔터테인먼트) and he now combines his job as a producer and representative with his singing activities. He is also a DJ promoting under the stage ZE:After and has been credited as Lee Hoo as well.

He will get married to his non-celebrity girlfriend in September 2024.
