ZELO

ZELO (젤로), born Choi Jun-hong (최준홍), made his mark as the youngest member and main rapper of second-generation K-pop powerhouse B.A.P. Born October 15, 1996 in Mokpo, South Korea, he debuted at just 15 years old and quickly became known for his rapid-fire rap delivery, powerful dance skills, and striking 187cm frame.

After B.A.P disbanded in 2019 following years of tension with TS Entertainment, ZELO pursued solo activities. His debut mini album Distance (2019) and follow-up Day2Day (2020) showcased his growth as an artist beyond group activities. He has since released multiple singles including "Scarecrow," "Mi Amor," "Blame," and "On A Roll."

Following mandatory military service (December 2023 to June 2025), ZELO signed with newly launched label VLACKSQUAD in March 2026 as its first artist. Known for his involvement in songwriting, composition, and visual direction, he is preparing a new chapter with fan concerts and music releases under the hip-hop and R&B-focused label.
