Background

Debut

"The new group, trinityACE's little prince who reliably supports his group members. Because of his mature and polite personality, he is not only loved by fans but also loved by his co-workers too."

He was a promising genius cello player who has been on TV programs before. But then he suddenly entered an idol audition and became a trainee. He said in an interview later that he hasn't given up on being a cello player, but he doesn't want to limit what he is capable of and wants to challenge many things as possible.

His hometown is near the ocean so he liked swimming since he was young. What he said in the interview about challenging many things seems undoubtedly true after it was revealed that he once participated in swimming competitions as well. He uses his nickname "Chung" during his idol activities. His nickname used to be only used amongst his family and how he became embarrassed about this fact has been a hot topic before.

After it was confirmed he was making his debut, he took the role of a dancer. He looked nervous during the pre-stage interview; it could have been because there was a skilled street dancer in the same group as him. But he answered seriously that he'll do his best to show everyone a perfect stage and he kept his promise on the stage by surprising everyone with his improved skills. As an aside, he said that he was confident in protecting something and said he'll protect his fans too. Because of what he said, the word "protect" was the top real-time search word for a long time.

Pictures of him exercising together with Elsword, who's in the same group, comes up on SNS from time to time. A troubled emoticon was posted as a reply when some fans asked where Add was.

Comeback

I have awaited so long to meet everyone once again. Stay tuned for the new and improved triACE!

~ Idol Message

"The little prince of trinityACE that has the members' back at all times. A natural idol loved by all for his gentle and kind nature."

Chung is trinityACE's all-rounder who is recognized by the public as a "jack-of-all-trades" for his tireless efforts in dancing, entertainment, and acting.

Chung takes care of his members with great consideration and is a solid pillar of the group. During the second episode of the in-house variety show ‘Go Go! triACE!', MT ~ ‘Courage Experiment', a horror element caused all the members to scatter. Still, Chung quickly calmed down, pointing out that they needed to find their teammates again to complete the mission. As he searched for Elsword, Add, and Noah, he quickly realized where they were and what they were doing. This showed how closely he had been keeping an eye on the members, and evoked comments such as, ‘The team's camaraderie is amazing,' and ‘It's Chung, alright. He's known to be reliable.'

During the break before their comeback, Chung participated in various activities such as being a cameo in an OTT series. At one point, it was briefly rumored that Chung was considering quitting trinityACE and turning to acting, but he brushed off the controversy by asking fans to stay tuned for trinityACE's comeback. After the news of their comeback was announced, he revealed, "I've been working hard with the members to prepare for the stage even while doing solo activities." He expressed that he was tongue-tied because he couldn't say anything when asked, but now he's incredibly happy to be able to say it out loud.

In addition, Chung has been uploading cello covers of various songs on his personal social media from time to time. He has also been attracting attention for his excellent cello skills combined with proper interpretation. This led to the discovery of a video from a show where Chung had appeared as a cello prodigy in the past, and it became a hot topic on social media. Various reactions and requests for song covers followed, with some stating, ‘He dances well and plays the cello well, this is a scam,' ‘I want to lock him up and make him only play the cello,' and ‘Who will be the idol then?'. On a livestream, Chung responded stating that he uploads cello cover videos as a hobby when he has free time, and that he appreciates the love it received. However, now that he has made a comeback, he will focus more on his activities as a member of trinityACE.

Relationships

"He's a reliable team member and friend!"

We first met when our debut was confirmed. We became friends quickly when we realized we were both used to working hard towards a goal. I found out later that people around us were worried we wouldn't get along because of our different personalities. Even though he might seem reckless at times, Elsword is much more cautious than everyone thinks. I can confidently say that he is a reliable team member and a friend.


"Our trustworthy leader!"

He's our trusted leader. I feel it all the time but Elsword is so passionate, and when I'm around him, I get motivated and fired up as well. Even when things aren't going well you can see him grumble for a second, then smile and say, "It is what it is". I think the fact that he never gives up is so unwavering and admirable. Um.... But then again, he's highly energetic. I wish he would refrain from going off somewhere... I worry sometimes.

"Very intelligent. He also made my SNS account for me..."

Although the way he talks is crude, he's a good person. I think the discord at the start was because Add was the most desperate one among us during our debut. He is very knowledgeable about not only idol activities but many other things too. Especially about technology! Ah, it was Add who made my SNS account for me.


"He's misunderstood often, but he takes care of us all the time."

Ahaha... People often misunderstand, but Add is incredibly caring and supportive of us. He's the one who suggested that I post a cello cover video on social media. Although he said it was to test the new modified broadcast equipment, I couldn't have done it without his help. It feels like a childhood dream come true, so I'm really grateful for him.

"I remember he ran away when I called him..."

I remember when Noah had just joined trinityACE. Someone was standing in front of the practice building with a hat pressed tightly to their head, so Elsword immediately yelled, "Who's that!" He ran away, so we chased after him thinking he was some creep, but it turned out to be Noah. I asked him why he wasn't going in, and he said the door was locked so he was just waiting. Then, I asked him why he ran away. He said he just got scared and ran away, so we had a good laugh. I realized later that the door to the practice room wasn't locked either. He thought it was a push door when it was a pull door. Haha, he doesn't do that anymore, though!

"I get very tense whenever watching Aisha on stage..."

She went right before me during the trainee audition. I became very nervous after watching her skilled performance, but she encouraged me while coming down from the stage. We met again when we both became trainees and are on friendly terms. But I get very tense whenever watching her on stage.

"I saw her often at a cafe."

I later found out that Lu was a former actress. When she heard that I was participating in a TV series, she came over and gave me acting advice. In return, I gave her sweets from a high-end dessert cafe in my neighborhood. She must have liked them, because we often bumped into each other in the neighborhood afterwards. Hehe, I suppose it was a good gift. I was happy to see Lu often~.

"I learned all my stage manners from Rena."

Did you know that Rena is a textbook model for everyone in the idol industry? I learned all my stage manners from her. She's normally wise and kind but becomes strict and serious when she needs to. She's so cool. I want to become more like her.

"We're close since we live in the same neighborhood."

Ara lives in the same neighborhood as me, and we've been practicing choreography together since we were trainees. We've gotten to know each other and gotten a lot of inspiration from each other. Nowadays, we don't see each other often because of our busy schedules, but sometimes we meet up for a meal and then part ways. By the way, I heard that her wandering brother came home, but then he left again without saying that he was going to find another path... Ara was really upset, I guess family issues are hard.

"He's actually very sweet."

He's a cool guy. He's usually reserved and quiet so at first I felt distant from him, but he's actually really sweet. Oh, and it turns out he's a member of the gym I signed up for, so now I work out with him when our schedule aligns. Do you know Raven's "Workout of the Day" selfie? It's famous! Occasionally, I'm in some of the photos since I stand behind him often. Hehe, look it up.

"This paw-shaped key-ring is a present from Ciel."

I was really shocked to see a big tattoo on his chest when we met for the first time in the swimming pool. We became friends after learning that we were both debuting near the same time. We often go to a shooting range together. Ciel is an incredible shot and he sometimes gives me prizes he won. Oh, this paw-shaped key-ring is a gift from Ciel too.
