Jung Chan Woo, known professionally as Chan, is a South Korean singer, dancer, child actor, and member of iKON (아이콘). He dropped out of high school but later passed the High School Graduation Certification Examination.

He made his debut in 2008 as a child actor with a role in the drama "The Great King, Sejong" and continued to appear in other dramas for a few more years. He spent time at Kids Planet Entertainment and at Fantagio as a trainee.

He joined YG Entertainment (YG엔터테인먼트) and, in June 2014, he appeared in the reality survival program "Mix & Match", a follow-up of "WIN: Who Is Next" in order to determine the final members of YG's second project group. He was one of 3 new trainees brought in to compete against 3 Team B members who had already lost their first chance to debut the year before. He was the only new trainee chosen to debut.

After several delays, he finally made his debut in September 2015 as iKON's sub-vocalist and maknae with their first album, "Welcome Back". They already had a fanbase in South Korea, Japan and other countries in Southeast Asia, so they quickly became a successful rookie idol group, winning first places in music shows, holding concerts and fan meetings, and ranking high in all major song/digital charts in the country.

In December 2022, all members ended their contracts with YG Entertainment after 7 years. Fans were fearful about a possible disbandment, but 2 days later, all signed with 143Entertainment (143엔터테인먼트) to continue group activities. He decided to use Chan as his new stage name.

He made his solo debut in April 2024 with the single "You", produced by groupmate Bobby.

He enlisted for his mandatory service on May 27, 2024, and was discharged on November 26, 2025.
