Jung Taek-woon -- aka Leo -- is a main vocalist in the K-pop boy band VIXX, who began a solo career in 2018. He joined VIXX in 2012, and over the next six years, they sent three albums and four singles to number one in Korea. Concurrently, Leo pursued a career in musical theater, making his 2014 debut in Full House. In 2015, along with Ravi, he formed a spin-off act, calling it VIXX LR. Their debut EP, Beautiful Liar, reached number one in Taiwan. Its 2017 follow-up, Whisper, hit the top spot in Korea. Leo's debut solo EP, Canvas, was released in 2018 while 2019 brought MUSE. Two singles followed -- "All of Me" and "December, The Night of Dreams" -- before he was recruited for military service. Leo's 2021 comeback single, "I'm Still Here," preceded a third EP, 2022's Piano Man Op. 9, which betrayed an R&B influence.
