Chuei Liyu

Chuei Liyu (崔立于, 최립우) is one of the fastest-rising new faces to come out of the Mnet survival-show pipeline. The Taiwanese singer built his initial audience on Boys II Planet, where he finished No. 10, then converted that momentum into a proper artist launch under FNC Entertainment.

FNC opened his official artist page and rolled out his solo debut single Sweet Dream on Dec. 3, 2025, giving him a clean first step outside the competition cycle. In 2026, his story expanded again through FLARE U, the duo he formed with Kang Woojin after both narrowly missed the final lineup for ALPHA DRIVE ONE. That next chapter already includes an early major-stage booking at KCON Japan 2026, which makes his page more than a trainee-afterglow profile. It is the start of a real post-show career.

Fans Also Ask

Who is Chuei Liyu?
Chuei Liyu is a Taiwanese singer signed to FNC Entertainment. He first built mainstream recognition through Boys II Planet, then launched his solo career with the single Sweet Dream in December 2025. In 2026, he moved into a second lane as one half of FLARE U, extending his post-show momentum into a duo rollout.
When did Chuei Liyu make his solo debut?
Chuei Liyu made his solo debut on Dec. 3, 2025 with the single Sweet Dream. FNC Entertainment opened pre-orders through its official channels before release, positioning the project as his first formal music step after Boys II Planet and giving him a standalone identity before his FLARE U activities began.
How did Chuei Liyu place on Boys II Planet?
Chuei Liyu finished No. 10 on Boys II Planet. That result left him just outside the final debut team that became ALPHA DRIVE ONE, but it still gave him enough visibility to carry a fanbase into his first solo release and then into FLARE U with fellow contestant Kang Woojin.
What is FLARE U?
FLARE U is the FNC Entertainment duo formed by Chuei Liyu and Kang Woojin after their Boys II Planet run. FNC introduced the pair through official social channels in April 2026, framing the act around the chemistry and fan interest both artists built during the survival-show cycle.
What is Chuei Liyu doing now?
Chuei Liyu is currently active in the FLARE U launch cycle while carrying the profile boost from his Sweet Dream solo debut. One of the clearest signs of momentum is the duo's booking for KCON Japan 2026, which put him back in front of a large live audience soon after his post-show transition.
