Choi Jung Hoon is a South Korean singer-songwriter, producer, musician, and member of JANNABI (잔나비). He graduated from Yatap High School and remains on a leave of absence from the Business Administration program at Kyung Hee University.

He had an interest in music since he was a child, and in high school, he met his future bandmates, Jang Kyung Joon and Kim Do Hyung, and they would regularly perform at Bundang Central Park. He trained at FNC Entertainment, nearly debuting as a member of N.FLYING, but decided to leave after realizing the agency limited his creativity.

In 2012, his older brother founded the independent label Peponi Music (페포니뮤직) and began representing the band, but they had to start from the bottom, busking on the streets and performing in small clubs. In 2013, the band entered singing survival show "Superstar K 5" but, only he made it to the top-7 in a vocal group called PLAN B.

He officially made his debut as JANNABI's leader, vocalist, songwriter and producer with their first single, "Rocket". Since then, the band has gained popularity and has produced several digital singles and OSTs for several dramas.

In August 2016, they released their first studio album, "Monkey Hotel", with him listed as the lyricist. Then, in 2019, the song "For Lovers Who Hesitate" made it into the Gaon Digital Chart, and the band had their first national tour. They are often praised for their live performances and self-produced songs that have lyrics unique to the Korean language.

He is also active on variety shows as a host, winning the Excellence Award in Show and Variety Category at the 2023 KBS Entertainment Awards for his work on "The Seasons: Choi Jung Hoon's Night Park".
