Han Seung Woo is a South Korean singer-songwriter, dancer, actor, former member of X1 (엑스원) and current member of VICTON (빅톤). He graduated from Busan Energy Science High School. He is the younger brother of actress and former SECRET member Han Sun Hwa.

He made his debut in November 2016 as VICTON's original leader, lead dancer, lead rapper and lead vocalist with their first EP, "Voice To The New World" and managed by IST Entertainment (IST엔터테인먼트; originally called Plan A Entertainment).

In mid-2019, he participated in Mnet's survival show "Produce X 101" and finished in 3rd place, earning a spot in the resulting project group. For that reason, he decided to give up his role as VICTON's leader.

He re-debuted in August 2019 as X1's leader and main vocalist with their first mini-album, "Emergency: Quantum Leap" under Swing Entertainment (스윙 엔터테인먼트). Initially, the group had a 5-year contract; however, the vote manipulation scandal at MNet led to an investigation. They were forced to halt their activities and, after an unsuccessful negotiation about their future between Swing Entertainment and the members' individual agencies, they disbanded in January 2020.

Following X1's disbandment, he returned to VICTON, and then he made his debut as a solo artist in August 2020 with the mini album "Fame". He made his acting debut with a role in the web series “Love #Hashtag” in 2021.

He enlisted for his mandatory military service on July 28, 2021, and was discharged on January 27, 2023.

His contract with IST Entertainment ended in November 2024, and he signed with Aura Entertainment (아우라엔터테인먼트) a few weeks later.

His status with VICTON is unclear as he is now focusing on his career as a solo artist and actor. At the same time, all members have left IST, but the agency has not clarified if the group disbanded or is on indefinite hiatus.
