He was born in 2000 and is currently studying acting at the Korea National University of Arts.

Lee Chaemin will host Music Bank with the other MC, IVE member Jang Wonyoung, starting from the episode that will be broadcast on 30 September. Jang Wonyoung started off as an MC of the music program alongside Enhypen’s Sunghoon back in October last year. While Sunghoon apparently stepped down as a host because of his groups’ upcoming tour schedules, Jang Wonyoung reportedly has extended her contract with Music Bank to host the show for another year.
