Jang Wooyoung
Jang Woo-young (Korean: 장우영; born April 30, 1989), better known mononymously as Wooyoung, is a South Korean singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. In 2008, he debuted as a member of 2PM, a boy band currently managed by JYP Entertainment. He debuted as a solo artist with his first extended play, 23, Male, Single, in July 2012. As of 2026, he has released a total of six EPs and one compilation album. He has also composed several songs for 2PM and other artists.
Following his discharge from his mandatory military service in 2020, Jang has worked as a television personality on various Korean variety shows such as Beat Coin, I Can See Your Voice, and Street Man Fighter. He is currently a cast member for the Netflix variety program Screwballs. He is also known for his role as Jason in the 2011 South Korean drama Dream High.
Born and raised in Busan, Jang enjoyed dancing from a young age but was forced to hide his interest from his father, who had strongly disapproved of his ambitions to become a dancer due to the lack of job stability. In 2007, he secretly applied for JYP Entertainment's first open audition and uploaded clips himself dancing on the website Mgoon, an early Korean predecessor of YouTube. He eventually beat thousands of applicants and placed first, with future Highlight member Yoon Doo-joon placing second.
Upon moving to Seoul to begin training under JYP Entertainment, he attended Seoul Institute of the Arts as a dance major. In 2009, he began an undergraduate degree in broadcasting at Howon University, the same university his bandmates Lee Jun-ho and Hwang Chan-sung attended.
In 2008, he participated in Mnet's Hot Blooded Men, a program that chronicles the rigorous training of thirteen aspiring trainees, all vying for a coveted spot in the boy band One Day. This initiative ultimately led to the formation of two distinct boy bands, namely 2AM and 2PM.
Half a year following the televised airing of Hot Blooded Men, the group 2PM made their debut with the release of their inaugural single "10 Out of 10" from their first single album titled Hottest Time of the Day. However, it was their second single album, 2:00PM Time For Change, that propelled them to mainstream success in Korean music, solidifying their meteoric rise. As of 2021, the group has released seven studio albums in Korea and five studio albums in Japan. Jang has written and composed several songs for the group, including "Make It", the title track of their seventh studio album, Must.
In 2022, Jang held a joint fan-concert with bandmate Jun. K titled 115430 in Seoul on April 30 and May 1, with the latter show also being streamed online via Beyond Live. He has also participated in activities of the unofficial 2PM sub-unit ENWJ with Jun. K and Nichkhun, holding events and concerts with the group since 2023.
On May 24, 2012, JYP Entertainment announced that Jang would release his debut solo album in early July. On June 28, he performed the two of the album's tracks at the Mnet 20's Choice Awards: "2Nite" and title track "Sexy Lady". The EP, titled 23, Male, Single, was released on July 8 and included two songs composed and written by fellow 2PM members Jun. K and Lee Jun-ho. He held a mini-showcase on July 9 and appeared on TV music programs such as Mnet's M Countdown starting from July 12 as part of the mini-album's promotion. The EP peaked at number two on the Gaon Weekly Album Chart and stayed on the chart for six consecutive weeks.
